What's shaping this score?

Strong rate, weak reach and reach-through

What's Working

People stop and react when a Forbidden Fruit post appears on Instagram at a rate that sits in the top half of all Instagram accounts worldwide. That engagement happens despite the video reaching a narrow audience, which means the people who do see it are genuinely moved to respond.

The feed keeps pace during the event. Forbidden Fruit posted 10 times a day on Instagram during the PAW (peak attention window) across its 2 show days, which is genuine day-in, day-out output and only ranks lower per-day against shorter festivals that burst-post, but it is still below the 25 to 50 live-coverage standard.
