Frequently asked questions

What is a good Instagram engagement rate for gen z brands?

The median across the 6 gen z brands we have measured is 0.95%, with the middle half falling between 0.26% and 1.69%. Anything above the median is doing better than half the category. Engagement rates are not comparable across categories, so a figure that looks weak next to a beauty brand can be strong for gen z brands.

Which gen z brand has the most Instagram followers?

Shein, of the 81 gen z brands in this list. Follower count is the least useful number on this page: it says how many people once pressed follow, not how many see a post or talk about the brand. The mentions further down the page answer that.

Which gen z brands are growing fastest on Instagram?

thisisneverthat has the steepest follower growth of the gen z brands we measure, at 0.9% over the window. Growth is read from repeated measurements of the public profile rather than reported by the brand.

How do gen z brands find out who is posting about them?

Instagram notifies a brand when somebody links its @handle and in no other case, so a caption that types the brand name as plain text reaches nobody at the company. Finding those means searching: the brand name as a hashtag, with the space removed, the product on its own, and the name as plain caption text. Every brand on this page has a public page here listing the posts we caught doing exactly that.

Where do the figures on this page come from?

Each one is a reading of a public Instagram profile, stored with the date it was taken. Nothing is estimated, modelled or filled in from an industry average. Where a brand has not been measured yet its row shows a dash, because a visible gap is more useful than a plausible invention.

Other categories

Figures are read from Instagram; an em dash means no data yet.
