Part of the brand\u2019s social success this year came from diverse posting strategies on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok rather than taking a successful post from one channel and reposting it everywhere.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31103 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-700x694.png\" alt=\"Instagram post from Jeni's featuring two women smiling and eating ice cream is an example of strong Health food social media\" width=\"700\" height=\"694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-350x347@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-300x297.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-1024x1015.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-1536x1522.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-100x99.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-350x347.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-1170x1159.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM.png 1754w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-11.45.41-AM-700x694@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Everybody loves a giveaway, and Jeni\u2019s won big on Instagram this year thanks in part to successful contest posts like this one, which pulled in a whopping 12.9% engagement rate.

The Facebook post announcing the partnership in support of Dolly\u2019s latest novel earned a 1.86% engagement rate, which is more than 46 times better than the median Facebook engagement rate for health food brands this year. A creative collab featuring a fun flavor and exclusive album in support of Parton\u2019s new book helped create even more buzz around the announcement, and fans fell into the comments to share their love for Jeni\u2019s and Dolly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31107 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-700x405.png\" alt=\"Tweet from Jeni's featuring Pete Davidson and a pint of their ice cream was engaging Health food social media\" width=\"700\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-350x203@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-1024x592.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-1536x889.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-100x58.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-350x203.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-1170x677.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM.png 1756w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-2.25.30-PM-700x405@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Jeni\u2019s earned a 0.079% engagement rate on Twitter this year, which outpaces the health foods median by almost 4x thanks to sassy and playful tweets like this silly Photoshop job.

Jeni\u2019s most engaging TikTok video of the year by views earned an engagement rate by view of 3.03% and more than two million views with nothing more than a quick clip of our Lord and Savior Beyonce\u0301 and one of the ice cream shop\u2019s signature flavors. Much like the brand\u2019s success on Twitter, it pays to create content around cultural topics that are trending (but then, when isn\u2019t Beyonce\u0301 trending?). Jeni\u2019s TikTok videos feel much less formal and more playful than their content on other platforms, which is the best advice for any health food brand looking to break into this video-centric channel.<\/p>\n<h3>Top Trend 1: New products<\/h3>\n<p>We used our <a href=\"\/product\/post-tagging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post tagging feature<\/a> to automatically group posts that mention new products and releases, and found that new stuff led to at least a 20% engagement rate lift on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for health food brands this year. Surprised TikTok isn\u2019t on that list? More conventional posting strategies often fall flat for brands on TikTok, so it\u2019s not too shocking that what works on other channels doesn\u2019t work there.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31087 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-700x384.png\" alt=\"Half-bitten chicken nugget in front of a Beyond Fried Chicken food truck\" width=\"700\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-350x192@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-1024x562.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-1536x843.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-100x55.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-350x192.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-1170x642.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM.png 1764w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.14.47-PM-700x384@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sixth place overall winner Beyond Meat dazzled fans across all channels with tons of new product offerings, like this post about new Beyond Fried Chicken. The carousel post earned more than 34K engagements and a 3.37% engagement rate, which is about 10x the median Instagram engagement for health food brands. Many of the brand\u2019s most engaging posts featured their expanding product line, which stirred up excitement among vegan, vegetarian, and plant-curious fans everywhere. It\u2019s worth noting that the success of this post also comes from it being a carousel, which is one of the most engaging post types on Instagram. The channel traditionally serves carousel posts more than once until a follower interacts with it, which gives a brand multiple bites at the apple for impressions and engagements.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31108 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-700x696.png\" alt=\"Packets of Real Good Foods chicken nuggets and chicken strips performed well on Health food social media\" width=\"700\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-350x348@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-1024x1018.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-1536x1527.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-100x99.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-350x348.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-1170x1163.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM.png 1758w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-3.24.34-PM-700x696@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Real Good Foods earned second place on Facebook and eighth place overall thanks to effective product release posts like this one.

Pairing new products with a giveaway helps excite fans and gets them tasting your frozen food or snack in their mind\u2019s, uh, mouth while also generating social engagement in the form of contest entries.<\/p>\n<h3>Top Trend 2: Influencers and brand partnerships<\/h3>\n<p>Health food brands rely heavily on partnerships with distributors and national grocery chains like Walmart and Target to bring their products to the masses, so it\u2019s no surprise that these brands are constantly mentioning their partners in social media posts.

Contest posts led to engagement lifts on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for health food brands this year, and we expect to see this trend continuing into 2023 and beyond because of how effective it is at garnering engagement and growing follower counts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31090 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-700x662.png\" alt=\"Three bottles of Santa Cruz Organic lime juice in a Target basket performed well on Health food social media\" width=\"700\" height=\"662\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-350x331@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-300x284.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-1024x968.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-1536x1452.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-100x95.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-350x331.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-1170x1106.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM.png 1760w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-16-at-5.30.58-PM-700x662@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Beverage brand <a href=\"https:\/\/santacruzorganic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santa Cruz Organic<\/a> shows us how it\u2019s done with a new product, brand partnership, and giveaway all in one engaging Instagram post.

The post earned more than 72K engagements and an engagement rate of 7.05%, which is 22x the health foods engagement rate median on Instagram. Brand partnership posts can help widen reach for both brands by exposing followers to a new but adjacent brand for them to follow. Trading on KFC\u2019s name here and in other posts about partnerships with Taco Bell and Pizza Hut helped Beyond Meat go even more mainstream, and including a screenshot from business rag Fast Company also helped legitimize the brand.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31089 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-700x428.png\" alt=\"Kim Kardashian in an Instagram Reel for Beyond Meat\" width=\"700\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-350x214@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-1024x626.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-1536x939.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-100x61.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-350x214.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-1170x715.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM.png 1760w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-11-at-5.58.25-PM-700x428@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of brand partnerships, Beyond Meat also found a ton of success on social with key influencer partnerships with celebs like Kim Kardashian.

Beyond Meat branched way out this year from its original ground beef substitute and took to social to release carne asada, orange chicken, fried chicken, and more. Simple and colorful posts grabbed the attention of followers and got them running to their local bodega or Taco Bell to get their hands on the brand\u2019s latest offering.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"title-tiktok-rankings\">Top Health Food Brands on TikTok<\/h2>\n<p>Health food brands broke into TikTok in a big way and smashed engagement rates on other channels with a whopping 3.12% average engagement rate by view.

Why? Counting the number of times a viewer liked, commented, or shared and dividing it by the overall number of views measures just how compelling your content was. If your video didn\u2019t grab attention, viewers will be less likely to engage with it, and therefore you\u2019ll earn a smaller engagement rate per view. If your video was compelling enough to cause viewers to take the extra step of engagement before swiping to the next video, that\u2019s a good bet that it\u2019s high-quality content.<\/p>\n<p>Not all health food brands are created equal on TikTok: <a href=\"https:\/\/kodiakcakes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kodiak Cakes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/drinkspindrift.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spindrift<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/jenis.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jeni\u2019s Splendid Ice Creams<\/a> performed well on TikTok and landed in the overall top 10, while other top scorers on TikTok <a href=\"https:\/\/row.grenade.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grenade<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/purelyelizabeth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purely Elizabeth<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gimmesnacks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gimMe Snacks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/rebbl.co\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REBBL<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/harmlessharvest.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harmless Harvest<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/magicspoon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magic Spoon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foragerproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forager Project<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/threewishescereal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Three Wishes Cereal<\/a> weren\u2019t necessarily rockstars on other channels.<\/p>\n<h3>Featured Health Food Brand: Kodiak Cakes<\/h3>\n<p>Pancake and waffle mix brand Kodiak Cakes dominated on TikTok this year by employing one key strategy better than anyone else: playful videos.

The brand wound up in the Twitter and overall top 10 rankings as well thanks to smart strategy and effective giveaways. But Real Good Foods employed a key tactic that any health food brand can start using right out of the box: posting more. The brand posted about 14 times per week, or about two posts a day instead of the two posts per *week* of their other health food competitors. Posting so frequently helps Real Good Foods earn higher engagement totals by giving them more bites at the apple with every post rather than depending on a few key posts to earn their engagement throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31092 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-700x526.png\" alt=\"Facebook post from Real Good Foods featuring a cart full of product at Walmart performed well on Health food social media\" width=\"700\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-350x263@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-1024x769.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-1536x1154.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-100x75.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-350x263.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-1170x879.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM.png 1754w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-14-at-3.52.27-PM-700x526@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Real Good Foods was all about the giveaway on Facebook this year, with nearly all of the brand\u2019s most engaging posts by rate offering product or gift cards in exchange for social engagement.

The success of this post is a good reminder that you don\u2019t need an elaborate prize package or entry system to entice fans to enter your giveaway while boosting your engagement.

With less of a focus on Twitter than on other channels, it\u2019s no surprise that health food\u2019s average engagement rate of 0.02% lagged behind Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Will Twitter continue to fade in relevance to health food brands moving forward? Time will tell.<\/p>\n<h3>Featured Health Food Brand: OLIPOP<\/h3>\n<p>Fancy soda brand OLIPOP was a force to be reckoned with on social in general this year, with a second place overall finish fueled by a #2 ranking on Twitter and a #4 ranking on Instagram. The brand earned a 1.88% engagement rate on Twitter, which is nearly 100x better than the median health food brand for those keeping score at home. OLIPOP tweeted about twice as frequently as their median competitor at 3.2 tweets per week, which also helped the brand by bumping up its engagement total for the year. OLIPOP made the most of Twitter\u2019s 1:1 conversations with tons of replies, giving fans full access to ask questions or high-five their favorite soda brand.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that many of the health food brands we studied have small follower counts on Twitter, which almost always leads to small engagement totals because there are fewer people to see your tweets. Measuring social success by engagement rate helps control for audience size and lets us measure brands with small and large followings right alongside one another.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31109 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-700x406.png\" alt=\"Celeb Camila Cabello reaching for a shelf of OLIPOP performed well on Health food social media\" width=\"700\" height=\"406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-350x203@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-1536x892.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-100x58.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-350x203.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-1170x679.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM.png 1760w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-3.34.23-PM-700x406@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>OLIPOP\u2019s most engaging tweet by rate relied on some heavy-hitting brand partnerships with Walmart and singer Camila Cabello to earn its off-the-charts 42% engagement rate.

Not every health food brand can land such high-profile partnerships, but finding the right ambassador for your brand can go a long way towards social success.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31093 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-700x343.png\" alt=\"Status tweet from OLIPOP talking about a banana soda release\" width=\"700\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-350x172@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-300x147.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-1024x502.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-1536x753.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-100x49.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-350x172.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-1170x574.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM.png 1762w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.14.59-PM-700x343@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nearly 40% of OLIPOP\u2019s tweets this year featured a status update, proving the brand didn\u2019t shy away from the chance to use text instead of photos to get its point across. The brand doubled down on this copy-first strategy with tons of replies to kibbitz with followers. This tweet announcing a banana soda offering earned a 6.96% engagement rate thanks in part to the brand taking care to respond to tons of replies to the tweet in its signature snarky tone. It\u2019s worth noting that Twitter winner RXBAR beat out OLIPOP for the gold thanks in part to its epic commitment to Twitter replies, and is a good reminder for any brand that taking the time to reply to fans pays off on social.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"border-no-caption aligncenter wp-image-31104 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-700x407.png\" alt=\"Tweet from OLIPOP featuring a tall glass of cherry cola performed well on Health food social media this year\" width=\"700\" height=\"407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-350x204@2x.png 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-1024x595.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-1536x893.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-100x58.png 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-350x204.png 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-1170x680.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM.png 1754w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Screenshot-2022-11-15-at-4.27.42-PM-700x407@2x.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, you don\u2019t have to reinvent the wheel to earn strong engagement, as seen in this mouthwatering product announcement tweet from OLIPOP that earned a 7.05% engagement rate. Creating a prebiotic version of fan favorite cherry cola was a hit across all channels for the brand this year, with fans jumping to reply with their enthusiasm. Brand partner Walmart kept an eye on the conversation for anyone looking to purchase OLIPOP at the megastore and replied with helpful instructions, which is above and beyond, especially for a brand with as much community to manage as Walmart. New product offerings like this one topped the charts for health food brands this year across the board, so don\u2019t be afraid to develop something new to catch the attention of your fans.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"blog-inline-cta-image light\" >\n  <img src=\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/health-foodsbook-cover-05.png>\n  <div class=\"cta-wrapper\"> <p>\n   See how your health food brand stacks up.  <\/p><a class=\"x-btn ss-light x-btn-global\" target=\"_blank\" href=\/resources\/top-100-health-food-brands-social-download-2022\/ style=\"\">Grab your report here <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"title-live-benchmarks\">How is my Health Food Brand Performing on Social Media?<\/h2>\n<p>Comparing your health food brand\u2019s social media performance has never been easier.<\/p>\n<p>Browse our <a href=\"\/live-benchmarks\/health-food-brands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Health Food Social Media Benchmarks<\/a> for a real-time look at top posts, engagement rates, high-performing hashtags, and tons more.

Using this data and a weighted formula, we generated an overall engagement ranking for each brand. The top-ranked health food brands on social media have high engagement rates with average or better audience size and posting volumes.<\/p>\n<p>We define engagement as measurable interaction on social media posts, including likes, comments, favorites, retweets, shares, and reactions. We used engagement rate by follower to measure engagement on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, which is defined as the total engagement divided by the number of followers. We used engagement rate by view to measure engagement on TikTok, which is defined as the total engagement divided by the number of views.<\/p>\n<h2>The Case for Benchmarking<\/h2>\n<p>Why benchmark instead of just measuring how your health food brand\u2019s social media individual performance changes over time? Because social success is relative. Benchmarking means figuring out what\u2019s working (and what isn\u2019t) in your industry and measuring your success against that.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to go beyond likes and favorites because audience size is hugely important: 100 likes is great engagement for a brand with 1,000 followers but is a drop in the bucket to a brand with 100,000 followers. Engagement rate helps us take audience size into account to see who\u2019s really reaching the highest percentage of their fans and followers with their social posts, which are the health food brands you need to beat.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping It Up<\/h2>\n<p>We hope you enjoyed eating and drinking your way through these spectacular health food brands on social media as much as we did. Congrats to all the winners\u2013we can\u2019t wait to see what you get up to next year on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Did we miss a health food brand you love?
