How to Read an Influencer Marketing Report
5 minA campaign report is not just a list of numbers — when read correctly, it becomes a strategic tool that enables you to optimize future campaigns.
Key Metrics and Their Meaning
The fundamental metrics you will encounter in every campaign report:
- Reach: The number of unique users who saw the content. Indicates overall awareness impact.
- Views: The total number of times the content was viewed. A single user may count for multiple views.
- Engagement Rate (ER): Total engagement / reach. Shows how much interest the content generated.
- CPM (Cost Per Mille): Cost per 1,000 views. Lower CPM = more cost-effective campaign.
- CPE (Cost Per Engagement): Cost per engagement. Shows the cost-value of content quality.
- ROAS (Return on Ad Spend): Return on advertising spend. Above 3x indicates good performance.
Benchmarking
Compare your metrics against industry benchmarks to understand whether they are good or poor:
- Engagement Rate: Instagram Reels: 2–5% is good, 5%+ is excellent. TikTok: 3–8% is normal.
- CPM: In nano/micro campaigns, $1–$5 is normal. Under $1 is excellent.
- Content Completion: Above 80% content completion rate indicates a successful campaign.
