Instagram media kit: the stats to include (and skip)
Reach, saves, shares, story clicks and profile visits — the Instagram metrics brands ask for, and the vanity numbers to leave off your media kit.

Start freeInstagram hands you more numbers than any brand wants to read. Your job is curation: show the metrics that predict campaign performance and drop the vanity ones.
Include these
- Reach and accounts engaged for the last 30 days — the honest picture of how many people you actually touch.
- Average reel views and average story views, not your single best post.
- Saves and shares — the strongest signals of intent and the ones media buyers respect most.
- Story link clicks and profile visits — proof your audience takes action off-platform.
- Follower demographics: age, gender and country split.
- Your engagement rate with the formula stated (how to calculate it).
Skip these
Impressions without reach, follower-growth charts with no context, "best month ever" outliers, and blurry screenshots that need zooming. They read as padding, and padding makes a brand doubt the rest of the page.
Show, then prove
Pair the stat tiles with a gallery of three to six of your best-performing posts, then a single case study with a result. Numbers plus proof is what unlocks higher rates.
Update monthly
Instagram metrics move fast, and a stale kit undersells you. Publishing on a link instead of a PDF means the numbers a brand sees are today's — one of the reasons a digital media kit converts better than an attachment.
