IU Marketing Affinity & Brand Fit Data

Report Date: 2025-09-09

IU cuts through with 18-24 & 25-34 audiences and consistency across SOUTH KOREA, INDONESIA, PHILIPPINES. A heavily female (68%) profile rewards creative that treats fans like insiders. Performance peaks on Tiktok with 465,900 avg views per post, while Instagram preserves the relationship between tentpoles. Affinity lines up with Style Nanda, Innisfree, Jollibee, mapping to streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. Net effect: campaigns that travel without heavy media.

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.
