What's shaping this score?

Instagram powerhouse, TikTok still finding its voice

What's Working

Instagram is where Project Glow lands hardest: it turns more of its reach into reactions than the top half of Instagram accounts, and the bigger reaction haul comes from there.

The feed never went quiet: a steady run of real-time content kept the audience in the moment all weekend, posting 66 times on Instagram and 83 times on TikTok during the PAW (peak attention window).

Read the comments and the sentiment is clear: people left satisfied and returned to express it, placing the festival among the top half worldwide for how audiences felt.

Its posts caught a middling haul of likes, comments and shares, landing in the top half of festivals worldwide for total reaction volume.
