Most brands are flying blind.

Influencer budgets are under more scrutiny, audiences shift every quarter, and AI keeps changing what “good” content looks like. Without benchmarks, you’re guessing when to spend, who to book, and what actually works. This report replaces that guesswork with data.

What you get inside

  • When to spend — the monthly engagement curve & Ramadan peak
  • Which creator tiers beauty brands are actually booking
  • Three market categories: Beauty, Personal Care, and Men’s Brand
  • Instagram Reels benchmarks across 92 tracked brands
  • Distribution of the organic and amplification contents
