Born Ruffians Marketing Affinity & Brand Fit Data

Report Date: 2025-09-15

Born Ruffians stands out with 18-24 & 25-34 audiences across UNITED STATES, CANADA, FRANCE. The profile is male-leaning (55%), and content lands hardest on Youtube, where posts average 614 avg views per post. Instagram sustains loyal interaction between releases, keeping momentum warm. Affinity clustering shows natural overlap with Value Village, Live Nation, Scotiabank, pointing to an obvious runway in streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. That mix of scale and cultural fit makes Born Ruffians a low-friction choice for campaigns that need fast awareness and credible adoption.

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.
