YouTube top tech brands 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 20,000,000 YouTube videos. All of the YouTube influencer data that is contained in this report was captured by the NeoReach Social Intelligence API. Videos were required to comply with proper FTC disclosure regulations. The analysis included sponsored YouTube videos posted between the months January through December 2022. The data was further refined to target YouTube videos of influencers located in the United States and Canada. Of the selection of YouTube videos which met these criteria, the data showcases only those brands and companies that activated campaigns with sponsored content achieving at least 10,000 views. Therefore, the data does not include all sponsored content on YouTube during the 2020 calendar year. However, it does include the top spending brands and industries for influencer marketing on YouTube for the 2022 period.
