Written by Maria Brown | Sep 23, 2024 5:33:33 PM

In today’s competitive landscape, just reaching your audience is not enough. Brands need to connect on a much deeper level - aligning emotions, values, and interests to create authentic, compelling content.

At RAD Intel, we understand the importance of this connection. That’s why we created, refined, and expanded upon our RAD Score – to provide brands with a much more refined framework and approach to smarter influencer marketing decisions and strategies.

So…. What is the RAD Score?

The RAD Score is a proprietary metric designed to assess the fit of an influencer with a specific marketing campaign or audience. It combines multiple data points to provide a comprehensive view of how well a creator aligns with your brand's objectives, ensuring that every collaboration feels authentic and on-brand.

The four components of a RAD Score:

  1. Interests: Measures how closely a creator's interests align with your target audience’s primary and secondary interests.

  2. Feelings: Gauges the emotional tone of a creator's content to understand the emotional impact on their audience.

  3. Demographics: Assesses how well a creator's audience demographics match your target market.

  4. Engagements: Measures the creator's content performance against industry benchmarks to evaluate impact and resonance.

RAD Intel offers a comprehensive framework to help you make smarter decisions in your influencer marketing strategy. Our RAD Score provides a multi-dimensional view of an influencer's suitability, ensuring you select the perfect partners for your campaigns.

Why the RAD Score Matters

The Power of Data-Driven Insights: How the RAD Score Works

The RAD Score is powered by RAD's proprietary AI engine, a sophisticated large language model (LLM) that analyzes multiple facets of a brand's marketing materials, including:

  1. Emotion: Understanding if the content evokes the desired emotional response.

  2. Sentiment: Measuring how positively or negatively the content resonates.

  3. Quality: Assessing the visual appeal, writing quality, and technical soundness.
