Analysis Workflow

Analyze social media campaign performance:

1. Validate input data completeness (reach > 0, dates valid)
2. Calculate engagement metrics per post
3. Aggregate campaign-level metrics
4. Calculate ROI if ad spend provided
5. Compare against platform benchmarks
6. Identify top and bottom performers
7. Generate recommendations
8. Validation: Engagement rate < 100%, ROI matches spend data

Input Requirements

Data Validation Checks

Before analysis, verify:

• Reach > 0 for all posts (avoid division by zero)
• Engagement counts are non-negative
• Date range is valid (start < end)
• Platform is recognized
• Spend > 0 if ROI requested

Engagement Metrics

Engagement Rate Calculation

Engagement Rate = (Likes + Comments + Shares + Saves) / Reach × 100

Metric Definitions

Performance Categories

ROI Calculation

Calculate return on ad spend:

1. Sum total engagements across posts
2. Calculate cost per engagement (CPE)
3. Calculate cost per click (CPC) if clicks available
4. Estimate engagement value using benchmark rates
5. Calculate ROI percentage
6. Validation: ROI = (Value – Spend) / Spend × 100

Examples

Sample Input

See assets/sample_input.json:

{
  "platform": "instagram",
  "total_spend": 500,
  "posts": [
    {
      "post_id": "post_001",
      "content_type": "image",
      "likes": 342,
      "comments": 28,
      "shares": 15,
      "saves": 45,
      "reach": 5200,
      "impressions": 8500,
      "clicks": 120
    }
  ]
}

Sample Output

See assets/expected_output.json:

{
  "campaign_metrics": {
    "total_engagements": 1521,
    "avg_engagement_rate": 8.36,
    "ctr": 1.55
  },
  "roi_metrics": {
    "total_spend": 500.0,
    "cost_per_engagement": 0.33,
    "roi_percentage": 660.5
  },
  "insights": {
    "overall_health": "excellent",
    "benchmark_comparison": {
      "engagement_status": "excellent",
      "engagement_benchmark": "1.22%",
      "engagement_actual": "8.36%"
    }
  }
}

Interpretation

The sample campaign shows:

• Engagement rate 8.36% vs 1.22% benchmark = Excellent (6.8x above average)
• CTR 1.55% vs 0.22% benchmark = Excellent (7x above average)
• ROI 660% = Outstanding return on $500 spend
• Recommendation: Scale budget, replicate successful elements
