1.1
Make a list of your team members and their social media accounts and behaviour. Organise
this information in a logical, structured way: no details needed. Do give ‘concrete numbers’
concerning these accounts and put them into perspective by comparing it to a benchmark.
So look for averages, try to find benchmarks on numbers of posts, followers, etc. in available
date online.
Benchmarks:
Facebook: Users use the 58 mins average. The platform has 1.4 billion daily active users
and 2.6 billion monthly active users. Source Facebook Users have an average of 155
friends. Source
Instagram: 53 mins average, 500 million daily active users, 800 million monthly active users,
96 million photos uploaded per day and 250 million stories per day. Instagram is owned by
Facebook. Source Instagram has 766,4 million users. Source
29% of the Instagram users are between 18 and 24 years old, 35% of the Instagram users
are between 25 and 34 years old. Sziget festival wants to focus on people that are above 18
years old, because it is an 18+ festival. Also, they do not want to focus on too elderly people,
because the festival is particularly made for youngsters from 18 until 24 years, so that is 29%
of the users and that would be 766,4 million times 29% and that are 222.256.000 users as an
age target group on Instagram for Sziget. Source
YouTube: 40 mins average. Monthly active users: 1.5 billion. Daily active users: 30
million. Source

downloaded app in apple store for 2019. 41% of users are between 16-24 years old. The

Own social media usage:
Timothy:
Facebook: 1 minute daily average usage. 926 friends. Post once a month. I am below the
average significantly with my daily usage. Though significantly higher in the number of
friends compared to the average.
Instagram: 3 minutes daily average. I sometimes post things about what is happening in my
life, but I am not often on Instagram. Posts happen once every 1-2 months. 33 posts and 344
followers and following 666 people. My daily average usage is significantly lower compared
to the 53-minute daily average recorded.
YouTube: 15 minutes daily average. Just watching other content and I do not post my own. I
am below the average for daily average usage of YouTube with the average being 40
minutes.
TikTok: 30 minutes daily average. Often watch other people's content but have periodically
made my own. Just for fun. Post once a month, though I am new to the program. I have 8
followers and 17 likes. I am closer to the average for TikTok with the daily average being 52
minutes.
Snapchat: 1-minute daily average. Often sending snaps or receiving snaps from friends. How
often I send snaps fluctuates, often more when on holiday or going out, but now just at home
once a week. The average on snapchat is 30 times a day I normally am on once a day, so I
am significantly under.
WhatsApp: 15 minutes daily average. Connecting with friends and family. Mainly use it to
send messages. The average daily usage is 28 minutes among other people, and I am close
to that with 15 minutes a day.
