Assessment - Report: Influencers and Social Media Markers

Assessment Description

You are the Digital Marketing Officer in charge of picking a social media influencer to lead an extensive campaign as the face of your organization, which will be assigned to you by your facilitator.

As part of your research and decision-making process, you must gather and analyse more than just average likes and comments per post.
Some of the statistics you will need to gather and assess are (only as an example):
Follower reach.
Audience type (real people, influencers, and non-engaging).
Demographics.
Likes to comments ratio.
Brand mentions.
Engagement rates for social media accounts.
How data into competitors` use of influencers can be measured to generate insights.

Some of the information you are expected to cover in your report is:
What is the audience-type composition?
What is an engagement rate, and how should advertisers treat this statistic?
