It is clear there is a diverse level of popularity depending on the subject. The data is interesting to examine as it is clear that mentions and follows don't always mean the most popular, as shown in Florence By Mills. It could be suggested that Millie Bobby Brown's brand thrives through its target audience and word of mouth, with the brand having the least amount of article mentions but the most popular search volume across Instagram and a high rank for average likes. This is also exemplified by Goop, with Paltrow's brand sitting mid-rank when it comes to the following count yet ranking extremely low with average likes, suggesting followers are not engaged with the brand's content.

Overall, StyleCraze's study is an eye-opener, showcasing that popularity across social media may not always mean the most successful, and lack of mentions from publications may not always mean the least amount of recognition. Essentially, brands should keep a close eye on all of their media outlets, communicate with followers, and seek feedback to become the best they can be.
