View Full Case StudyOverview
Between 2020 and 2023, Muse Social Creative photographed multiple campaigns for Aude Swim.
To better understand how the imagery resonated with audiences, we reviewed every published Instagram post featuring our photography and documented the publicly visible engagement metrics. Rather than relying on opinions, this case study focuses on measurable performance.

The Challenge
Measuring the impact.
Documenting the publicly visible engagement metrics of campaign photography to provide a transparent, data-driven look at how the imagery performed once published. The case study needed to:
- Review every published Instagram photo post featuring Muse photography
- Document publicly visible likes, comments, and engagement patterns
- Identify the highest-performing images and common visual themes
- Provide a transparent performance record across four years of work
- Demonstrate measurable value through real audience engagement data
