YouTube tech industry influencer media value in the U.S. & Canada 2022

1. Influencer Media Value (IMV)I is a calculated value used to determine the return on investment of influencer marketing campaigns. The NeoReach Social Intelligence API automatically retrieves, evaluates, and scores sponsored posts against standard industry benchmarks. These standard industry benchmarks are created from a culmination of data from all types of marketing channels. The software looks at factors such as past campaign performance, paid channels, industry surveys, reports, and other performance-tracking analytics. IMV compares the reach of sponsored posts, with each post reviewed for quality, to the previously explained industry benchmarks. The result is the specific IMV representing the cost of generating an equivalent engagement level using another form of paid media.
2. Methodology: The data presented was collected from over 29,000 sponsored YouTube videos. The video database consisted of clips posted from January to December 2022, from creators based in the United States and Canada. They all complied with the FTC disclosure regulation.
