Selection Criteria, Data Sources & Methodology
Base your selection on a transparent rubric focused on reach, engagement quality, and credible impact across Morocco and international audiences.
Three things define the score: reach and consistency across platforms; engagement quality, including video watch time and comment sentiment; and how closely the creator’s topics match Morocco trends, travelbreak, culture and lifestyle. In particular, prioritize content that is positive, well-produced, and authentic. Represent arabic and female voices to balance perspectives; seek creators who show consistent output and professional presentation. Include daniel and kate as part of the review to provide diverse checks, and ensure readers interested in collaborations can trust the process. The metric itself should reflect not only counts but the quality signal behind each metric.
Data sources and means: We rely on platform analytics dashboards (YouTube Studio, Meta Business Suite, TikTok Pro), third-party aggregators, media kits, press coverage, and direct outreach to creators. We review 60 profiles, collect 30 media kits, and cross-check 15 partner datasets to verify consistency.
Methodology: Deploy a five-component rubric with explicit weights: reach 0.4, engagement 0.25, content quality 0.2, brand fit 0.1, and collaboration potential 0.05. We verify data with cross-platform timestamps, sample video reviews, and quarterly checks for the prior year. We track international reach and local relevance, and we document decisions for transparency.
Implementation & governance: The final list highlights 20 influencers for 2026, based on the rubric. An editorial panel reviews top candidates, and a short note explains why each creator appeals to audiences in Morocco and beyond. We emphasize profiles that are appealing, have a clear show of value for brands and partners, and indicate a readiness for collaborations that connect regional languages (including arabic) with global audiences. Names like daniel and kate contribute to a balanced signal, and the process remains open to creators who are interested in international partnerships that fit the publication’s standards.

The streamer segment features lydiascapes and omiyakout among the most watched, with 1.8M and 1.5M views respectively in the latest period.

Use this data to craft invitation-only projects, then track results and thank contributors for sustained momentum.
Content Formats That Drive Engagement on Instagram, YouTube & TikTok
Start with a concise hook and deliver value fast: keep TikTok clips at 9–15 seconds, Instagram Reels at 15–30 seconds, and YouTube Shorts at 15–60 seconds, across Instagram, YouTube & TikTok, with a clear next-step prompt in every clip. Use exactly one strong hook in the first 2 seconds to set the tone and guide viewers into the main point.
Prioritize formats that keep viewers engaged across audiences. Use travelbreak segments to showcase 2–3 destinations in a single clip, weaving culture insights into quick narrative frames so the story stays related to fan interests. Pair bold visuals with concise captions that reinforce the takeaway and invite interaction.
Leverage collabs to extend reach. Pair with creators such as meryamkadmiri and manal in joint clips, invite partners like huugooch for crossover ideas, and test a montana vibe series. These collabs boost rankings across platforms and keep content fresh.
Content ideas include: quick tutorials, opinion clips about culture, and trips that spotlight real experiences. Build two-part stories for each trips topic, with a 15–40 second main segment and a 5–10 second recap. Use inspiration from user comments and related trends, and keep ideas aligned with audience interests. Include travelogue moments from different destinations to spark wanderlust and engagement.
Analytics guide decisions. Track the view count, saves, shares, and comments, as well as rankings across devices. If a format does not perform, adjust length or pacing unless retention shows clear improvement. Use these metrics to refine content and scale what works.
Planning approach: develop a two-week schedule with 2 collabs, 3 trips-focused pieces, and a gaming-related clip tied to a travel topic. Use a recurring rhythm such as travelbreak on Monday, culture opinion on Wednesday, and micro gaming tips on Friday. Make the library of assets available for repurposing across platforms, then iterate based on audience feedback and rankings.

Typical Moroccan deals for micro to mid-tier creators include fixed fees per post or reel, plus a handful of stories; product seeding; multi-post bundles across platforms; and 6–12 month usage rights for brand assets. For 10k–50k followers, expect roughly $200–$800 per post; 50k–150k followers can command $800–$2,500 per post, plus $300–$1,000 for a reel.
