Akala Marketing Affinity & Brand Fit Data

Report Date: 2025-08-15

Akala engages 25-34 & 18-24 audiences with repeatable results in UNITED KINGDOM, UNITED STATES, INDIA. The fan base skews heavily male (72%), giving a straightforward map for media and merchandising. Velocity is clearest on Youtube (18,350 avg views per post), while Youtube keeps conversation loops active. Affinity patterns cluster around leading lifestyle names, indicating authentic resonance in streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. For partners, the upside is strong: relevance today with room to scale tomorrow.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low
How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
