Shad Marketing Affinity & Brand Fit Data

Report Date: 2025-09-09

Shad is already in the conversation with 25-34 & 18-24 audiences in CANADA, UNITED STATES, UNITED KINGDOM. The audience is heavily male (82%), so brand cues around fashion, access, and lifestyle earn attention. Tiktok produces steady reach (2,473 avg views per post); Instagram confirms credibility in-thread. Affinity proximity to Scotiabank, Akai, Live Nation points directly to streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products. For marketers, it’s a plug-and-play route to relevance.

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.
