Engagement Analysis

Based on 12 recent posts

Platform Context

@newbalance ranks 639 of 778 for engagement because its rate sits below the tracked median. This lower performance means the account generates less interaction per follower than most others in the corpus. The gap between their rate and the average indicates a lower level of active audience participation.

The engagement rate of 0.21% falls well below the 0.93% median rank 639 of 778. This indicates an audience that interacts with content far less than typical for this category. While the account generates steady volume, the lack of deep interaction suggests a passive relationship with the brand. Video content earns higher average likes at 23.8K compared to 17.3K for photos. This confirms the audience rewards movement and dynamic visuals over static imagery. Reliability of reach remains low because only 8.3% of posts doubled the account average. No posts reached the five times growth threshold. The data suggests that while content reaches many eyes, it rarely sparks a surge in participation. Most users consume the content without stopping to comment or interact deeply. This is a tap-and-scroll audience.

Content Analysis

Hashtags, keywords, captions, and top posts

The standout post achieved over ten times the median engagement of this account. Its high comment count relative to likes suggests a strong call to action or high and active interest from the community. Short captions under 40 characters drive the highest engagement results while medium length posts perform poorly. This indicates that minimal copy is more effective for driving interactions than longer descriptions. The hashtag usage signals a focus on specific collaborative collections with Stone Island and Miu Miu. Posting roughly once every two days creates a steady presence without over-saturating the feed. While 18.9K average likes represent a solid baseline, the wide gap between median and top posts suggests that high growth relies on hitting specific timing or collaboration milestones. This account currently has 9.1 million followers.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

When @newbalance posts on Instagram

This account follows a sparse high-effort pace because it posts less than half the median frequency of its peers. The low follower rank relative to the total pool confirms this slower output is a deliberate choice rather than a lack of activity. A consistency score of zero indicates an erratic rhythm with no predictable pattern between posts. You cannot rely on a regular schedule for timing your content. The gaps between updates are unpredictable and often stretch into long periods of silence. New content typically lands on Wednesday and Friday. These days represent the primary windows for fresh uploads. The peak window for new content occurs at 14:00 UTC. Marketers should plan campaigns around these specific dates rather than expecting a daily presence. Because the cadence is so irregular, you must coordinate directly with the team to align your assets with their next active cycle. A proactive approach is necessary since there is no steady rhythm to automate your timing.

Who This Audience Is

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

The audience size sits well above the typical creator average with a high multiplier of over twelve. This scale indicates a broad reach that exceeds standard niche influence. The verified status confirms an established corporate presence despite the lack of a specific category tag. Engagement rates fall below the median by more than half, suggesting a broadcast style where individual messages land softer than they would on smaller accounts. A low engagement rate relative to follower volume often points toward a passive viewing experience rather than active community interaction. The high follower count provides reach while the low engagement confirms that the content functions as a top-down communication channel. This audience fits the sports apparel category.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and engagement

New Balance generates revenue through brand partnerships and retail sales. A sponsored post for this account falls between $45.7K and $109.8K based on its follower count. The ranking of 433 places this profile in a high bracket where the top tier commands a premium price for reach. However, the engagement rate of 0.21% sits well below the 0.93% median. This low interaction suggests that the upper end of the quoted band is difficult to justify for a single post. Brands should treat the current range as a ceiling rather than a standard starting point given the lower participation from the audience. These are modelled estimates from public metrics, not disclosed earnings.
