Walee Launches Pakistan’s First Influencer Industry Insights Report for 2022
Walee Technologies (WALEE), Pakistan’s leading Influencer Marketing and Social Commerce SaaS platform, launched Pakistan’s first data-driven Influencer Industry Insights Report for 2021-2022 using its AI-powered social listening tool to help brands and agencies deliver a better return on ad spend (ROAS) for creator campaigns.
This report analyzes more than seven million data points, from tens of thousands of Instagram posts and covers 500+ million video views, to generate top performers by influencers, gender, engagement, content, campaigns, and more.
The report shows that the fashion brand Sapphire has the highest average engagement rate (AER) of 52.6%, for major campaigns, defined as having at least ten associated influencers.
From a gender perspective, the performance of these campaigns showed the AER was better by the Top 10 male influencers – with an AER of 32% to 178% – compared with their female counterparts of 25% to 111%.
To provide additional value from a broad context, the report also cites a range of marketers including agencies, Ogilvy, Digitz Digitas, Starcom, and tech firms bSecure, providing additional analysis to the data.
Muhammad Ahsan Tahir, CEO Walee Technologies, said, “We are rapidly advancing Walee’s intelligence suite, helping brands replace personal preferences and biases, to decision-making based on data- and results for both creators and brands.”
He added, “This report follows on from Walee’s individual influencer reports for search and selection activities to optimize the right influencer mix by understanding demographic and success metrics – from audiences, engagement, content, campaigns and creatives. Our Walee IQS, or Influencer Quality Score, further helps with ranking and shortlisting of influencers.”
Walee’s Insights report is a representative benchmark, given that Urdu and Roman Urdu content was analyzed, thereby offering immense value, accuracy, and context to planning and execution teams – whether for awareness campaigns, brand ambassador programs, or learning best practices for Pakistan’s creator market.
