Rankings are based on Nielsen’s influencer measurement tool. The methodology includes a range of performance and sponsorship-related key performance indicators (KPI) including social following, content engagement, fan base growth, quality, reachability and equivalent media value of branded content published by each player. Leveraging the flexibility of InfluenceScope., different weights are given to each KPI in order to distinguish them in terms of importance. All data is from June 2022 – May 2023.
