Posting the same content across every platform is leaving money on the table. The audiences aren't the same. π
π Here's the gender breakdown by platform and why it matters for your creative
Snapchat β 48.4% female / 51.6% male. The most balanced split of any platform. Nearly even.
Instagram β 47.3% female / 52.7% male. Also close. But don't let that fool you β the content culture skews heavily visual and aspirational.
TikTok β 44.2% female / 55.8% male. More male than most brands assume. The "TikTok is for girls" narrative is outdated.
Facebook β 43.3% female / 56.7% male. Majority male. And still one of the largest ad audiences on the planet.
LinkedIn β 43.1% female / 56.9% male. Nearly identical to Facebook. Professional audience. Male-leaning.
X β 36.3% female / 63.7% male. The biggest skew on this chart. Almost 2-to-1 male.
Most brands pick a platform based on where their competitors are. That's the wrong call.
Pick based on where your actual buyer lives. Then build creative that speaks to that specific audience β not a generic one.
Same budget. Better targeting. Better results. π―
