Engagement Analysis

Based on 12 recent posts

Platform Context

@thibautcourtois ranks 704 out of 1606 for engagement because its rate sits above the tracked median. This performance indicates that followers interact with content more frequently than the average creator in the corpus. The account outperforms the typical baseline by a notable margin.

The engagement rate of 1.66% exceeds the 1.31% median to rank 704 out of 1606, proving this audience reacts more than the average user. While likes provide a high volume of passive approval at 298.4K per post, the conversation level remains low with only 55 comments. This disparity highlights a gap between general visibility and active community participation. The data shows that followers reward static imagery much more than motion content. Photos earned 432.4K likes compared to just 110.9K for videos. Reliability of reach is inconsistent across the feed. Only 16.7% of posts doubled the account average, and no content achieved a fivefold increase in engagement. This suggests that while the brand has strong reach, it lacks consistent breakout success beyond standard expectations. The audience functions as a tap-and-scroll audience.

Content Analysis

Hashtags, keywords, captions, and top posts

The standout post outperformed the median like count by a factor of nineteen. This specific post maintained a low comment to like ratio despite its high reach. Long captions exceeding one hundred characters drive much higher engagement than short snippets under forty characters. Writing detailed copy suggests that fans prefer more context or narrative over brief updates. The recurring hashtags signal a focus on Belgian identity, Real Madrid affiliation, and elite sports performance. A posting frequency of zero point one times per week indicates a deliberate, low volume strategy. Because average engagement remains modest relative to the total follower count, focus on consistent quality rather than frequent posting. This account has 18 million followers.

Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing

When @thibautcourtois posts on Instagram

This creator follows a sparse high-effort pace. The frequency of posts is well below the median rate of 0.6 per week. This low volume places the account at rank 340 out of 1606 based on posting frequency alone. A consistency score of zero indicates an erratic rhythm with no predictable pattern between updates. Content appears in bursts rather than a steady stream. New content lands most often on Saturday and Sunday. The busiest hour for new uploads is 18:00 UTC. Marketers should expect long gaps between posts. Planning a campaign around this account requires patience because fresh content does not appear on a regular schedule. You cannot rely on a weekly cycle to time your tie-ins. You must instead monitor the account and react when they choose to post during their infrequent active windows.

Estimated Earnings

Revenue estimates based on follower count and engagement

His rank of 340 puts him well above the median, allowing him to command a premium over standard rates. Because he sits in the upper percentiles, the high end of the quoted range is a realistic target for negotiations.
