$0.007

CPV

cost per view

Diagnostic

Strong overall performance with excellent engagement for a tech audience. The CPV of $0.007 is well below the $0.05 SaaS benchmark, making this collaboration highly cost-efficient. The sponsor integration was well-timed and delivered strong brand recall.

Recommendations

  1. 1

    Negotiate a dedicated 60s+ segment in future deals for higher brand recall.

  2. 2

    Request placement in the first 5 minutes to maximise completion-rate exposure.

  3. 3

    Add a creator-specific discount code to directly track conversions.

$0.021

CPV

cost per view

Diagnostic

High reach but poor ROI. The price paid is significantly above market rate for this engagement level. The CPV of $0.021 exceeds the typical $0.015 gaming benchmark, making this a costly collaboration with limited conversion potential.

Recommendations

  1. 1

    Reduce budget by 40% or negotiate additional placements at the same rate.

  2. 2

    Ensure the sponsor segment is at least 90 seconds to improve recall.

  3. 3

    Test micro-influencers in the same niche for better engagement-to-cost ratio.

$0.089

CPV

cost per view

Diagnostic

Despite good placement quality, the video severely underperformed vs. channel average with only 23% of expected views. The CPV of $0.089 is nearly double the finance niche benchmark, making this collaboration a poor investment with no redeeming signals.

Recommendations

  1. 1

    Avoid this creator for future campaigns until view performance stabilises.

  2. 2

    Set minimum view benchmarks (vs. channel average) before signing any deal.

  3. 3

    Always verify the last 10 videos before committing — one viral outlier skews averages.
