Darude Marketing Affinity & Brand Fit Data

Report Date: 2025-08-21

Darude reliably reaches 18-24 & 25-34 audiences in UNITED STATES, UNITED KINGDOM, BRAZIL. The base is heavily male (78%), paving the way for collaborations that read as status, style, and scene. The strongest distribution channel is Youtube (1,615 avg views per post); Instagram layers on depth and replies. The audience sits near Trancefamily, Stockmann, iHeartRaves, making streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products a natural expansion. The partnership writes itself—and the comments back it up.

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.
