Why Audience Demographics Matter

Understanding who follows an account reveals the type of influence they hold. Accounts followed primarily by users with few followers indicate broad, mainstream appeal. Those with many high-follower followers have greater potential for content amplification through secondary sharing.

Account age distribution also tells a story: a follower base with many new accounts might indicate recent viral growth, while established followers suggest long-term, stable influence. Geographic data helps understand the cultural context and timezone spread of the audience.

When we try very hard to sleep, we mostly remain awake. When we push very hard for an answer, we mostly remain confused. In letting go, we create the space for what’s needed

So, during lockdown, we made a beautiful new animated tv show with @netflix. It's called "Headspace Guide to Meditation" and launches 01/01/2021. If you're not busy, and fancy hanging out together in your living room, I'll see you then! #Netflix https://t.co/aAPmJ3TbZf

#WorldMentalHealthDay: a reminder to not only take good care of our own mind but to be there for anyone who might need our support. Life is not always easy. Knowing we are in this together, as a shared human experience, can make all the difference, to both ourselves and others
