What this launch shows
From an account with 151K followers, this reached 10.6 times the account's own following. Accounts in the same band, over 100K followers, reach a median of 2.4 times their following, so this travelled about 4.3 times further than usual for its size.
It ranks 288 of 611 launches from accounts that size. Against every launch in the directory it sits at 2.3 times the median of 688K views.
Saves led. 3K people bookmarked it, 21.5 per 10,000 views against a directory median of 11.7. A bookmark is a plan to come back, and it tracks signups and demo requests more closely than a like does.
The rest: 132 replies, 68 quotes, 159 reposts. One bookmark for every 0.6 likes is a high ratio and usually means a product people intend to try.
The first line is “Attention, all you geniuses with products, but no marketing skills”. It carries a 1:23 video against a directory median of 65 seconds.
Videos between 30 and 90 seconds have a median of 603K views in the directory. The copy runs 46 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41.
The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it. It went out on a Thursday. Launches posted on a Thursday have a median of 724K views in the directory, and Friday is the strongest day at 880K.
Attributing signups to a launch covers this: a save rate this high is the number to follow into the product. For the next one, read X analytics explained: what each of these numbers means, with benchmarks by account size. Every launch we track in Creative AI is on that vertical's directory page.
