Engagement Analysis

Based on 12 recent posts

Platform Context

@mariajoao.bastos ranks 468 of 1004 for engagement and sits above the tracked median. This performance means the account generates more interaction per follower than the average creator in the dataset. The rate exceeds the 1.00% benchmark by a notable margin.

The engagement rate of 1.16% exceeds the median of 1.00%, ranking 468 out of 1004. This indicates that the audience reacts more than the average user. Photos earn a higher volume of likes compared to videos, suggesting this audience rewards still imagery with their attention. While average engagement sits at over three thousand likes per post, the comment count remains low relative to that reach. The hit rate for viral growth is inconsistent. Only 8.3% of recent posts reached double the account average and only 8.3% cleared five times the average. These figures suggest that while individual photos perform well, consistent explosive growth is rare. This audience prefers a tap-and-scroll experience over active conversation.

Content Analysis

Hashtags, keywords, captions, and top posts

The standout post achieved a multiplier of 11.1 over the median like count. It maintained a healthy ratio of comments to likes for its reach. You should aim for long captions exceeding 100 characters to maximize engagement. These longer blocks of text earn 3.5K average likes while medium lengths underperform at 1.8K. Use the recurring hashtags #cannesfilmfestival, #piagetluxury, #piagethighjewellery, #piagetsociety, and #turnofthetide to signal your specific niche to the algorithm. The posting cadence is very low at 0.1 times per week. This slow frequency suggests a strategy focused on high quality over volume. Average engagement remains modest relative to the total follower count. You should focus on consistent output rather than seeking rapid growth. Mariao Bastos has 274.5K followers.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

When @mariajoao.bastos posts on Instagram

This creator follows a sparse high-effort pace. Her output of 0.1 posts per week falls well below the median of 1.0. This low frequency places her in the bottom third of the follower rank for posting volume. The consistency score of 0 indicates an erratic rhythm with no predictable pattern. She often goes through long periods of silence followed by isolated updates. Her longest streak is only 8 days. Fresh content lands primarily on Tuesday and Sunday. The busiest hour for new uploads occurs at 18:00 UTC. Because her posting schedule is unpredictable, a marketer should not rely on a recurring weekly slot for campaign timing. You must coordinate directly with the creator to align specific dates for any planned tie-ins. Her irregular activity means your content will likely sit live for long periods rather than riding a wave of constant new posts.

Who This Audience Is

What @mariajoao.bastos's reach and engagement mean for a brand.

The follower count sits well below the typical benchmark for creators in this category, falling at less than half of the median size. This indicates a niche reach that operates far from broadcast scale despite the verified status. The artist classification combined with verification suggests a professional profile within the creative space. Engagement rates slightly exceed the platform average, which means brand messages land with more impact here than they do for most creators of this size. The presence of a high ratio of followed accounts back compared to total followers points toward a tightly knit circle rather than a broad public sphere. This audience fits best within the fine arts or gallery promotion category.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and engagement

@mariajoao.bastos generates revenue primarily through sponsored posts with an estimated value between $2.2K and $4.1K per post. Her ranking of 982 out of 1606 places her below the median for this creator size. This position means her quoted band serves as a ceiling to negotiate under rather than a high premium price. Because she sits in the lower half of the peer group, advertisers can seek better value by pushing toward the lower end of that range. Her engagement rate of 1.16% slightly exceeds the 1.00% median. This stable interaction level suggests the quoted band is a fair price for the reach provided to her audience. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.
