More Posts= Higher EMV
This isn’t just about scale: the more often a creator posts about a brand, or is featured in a brand’s ads, the more authentic the brand-creator relationship is perceived to be.
A creator who only posts about your brand a few times before moving on is more likely to be viewed as transactional by social media users.
TikTok users are 1.2x more likely to watch more of a brand’s content, and 1.2x more likely to direct message the brand (compared to other leading social/video platforms).

What’s more, that authenticity is transferred to brand partners: 55% of TikTok users say they are more likely to trust brands when they hear about them from creators, compared to other ads in their feed.

25%
At least 25% of these brands’ creators posted about the brands in consecutive 12-month periods.
Creator Retention Matters
Fourteen of TikTok’s top 25 brands boast a creator retention rate over 25%. This means that at least 25% of these brands’ creators posted about the brands in consecutive 12-month periods. Creator retention is key to establishing authenticity: a creator who posts about a brand month after month and year after year is more credible than one who posts about the brand for a few days before moving on. Research shows that a consumer’s likelihood of buying a product increases when a creator continually shares their experiences with the product or brand.
When evaluating creators, prioritize those who continue posting about your brand over the long term.
