Format mix is by distinct content (Contents 7 d column); macro+mega share, repeat creator share, ad disclosure and co-authored post are over account-content rows (a post published jointly by two accounts is one content and two rows). Account-content rows: Boyner 506, Zara 179, LC Waikiki 160, Mango 58; posts and reels only: 27, 0, 120, 0. Macro 250 K–1 M, mega 1 M+ followers. Repeat creator share: share of content produced by accounts that posted the brand 2+ times in the period. Ad disclosure: share of posts and reels carrying a #reklam / #işbirliği / #tanıtım tag; includes the 'Ücretsiz #reklam' tag on gifted products, excludes contents noted 'reklam değil/yok' (not an ad) or 'kendim aldım' (bought it myself) (stories are not part of this rate). Co-authored post: content published with Instagram's co-author feature. Plays are for reels only. ER = (likes + comments) rate, two separate medians: per follower for posts, per play for reels; the two use different denominators and are not comparable with each other. n = account-content rows entering the median; contents with hidden like counts excluded. Starlecta sector research · Instagram, Starlecta tracked-account universe · © 2026 Starlecta FZCO · Quote with the source; share unchanged; edits need written permission · starlecta.com/en/terms --- Competitive Analysis · Fashion retail · 19 Oct – 25 Oct 2026 Method 02 ### Scope and method Data source, brand matching, media analysis and limits. Data source - Turkish Instagram accounts Starlecta tracks: about 12 thousand at the start of the week; the tracked base widened to about 51 thousand on 24–26 October; posts, reels and stories. - Period: 19 October – 25 October 2026 (7 days). Last 9-week series for the weekly trend (from the week of 24 August 2026). - A total of 899 contents from 223 distinct accounts; the 2 contents that mention several brands were counted separately for each brand. - Followers, category and audience (gender, age, city) information come from Starlecta profile data. - Even if a brand's tag, mention and link appear several times in the same content, the content was counted once for that brand. - Posts by the brands' own accounts were not counted; contents removed on 19–25 October: Boyner 19 (10 posts, 3 reels, 6 stories), LC Waikiki 4 (4 stories). Brand matching Brand and sub-brand account tags (@), hashtags and brand names in the description text. Brands were selected as the 4 brands with the most contents in the weekly ranking (tag and link matching; the brand's own account and deal accounts excluded). In this story- and link-heavy sector, the minimum-5-reels criterion was not applied to the selection for the week of 19–25 October. Frequently matching accounts: Boyner @boyner Zara LC Waikiki @lcwaikiki Mango Media analysis - 651 unique creatives were analysed: images directly, videos through the opening frame and a 4-frame summary. - 100 of the 104 reels in the period were analysed from the video itself: four frames, the opening frame and the audio. The audio of the 44 videos containing speech was transcribed; the communication language was taken from these transcripts and the descriptions. - For each creative, content type, tone, product placement, setting, whether the creator is on camera, call to action and season/occasion were classified; six of the unique creatives could not be classified. - Repeats of the same image across different accounts (perceptual similarity) were grouped as a single creative. - Story visuals were analysed from a sample of at most 300 stories per brand (Boyner 297 / 479; all stories for Zara, LC Waikiki and Mango); story counts and shares are over all stories. Limits and reading notes - The universe is not all of Instagram; absolute volumes are a lower bound. The number of tracked accounts grew over the last 9 weeks; weekly trends show direction. - For story contents, visibility is measured by content count; ad disclosure and performance are computed over posts and reels. Ad disclosure includes the 'Ücretsiz #reklam' tag on gifted products; contents noted 'reklam değil/yok' (not an ad) or 'kendim aldım' (bought it myself) do not enter the rate. - Sector news and deal/discount accounts were flagged separately; overlap and creative selections were prepared excluding these accounts. - A brand name appearing is not evidence of a paid collaboration. - The tracked account base widened on 24–26 October: posts and reels of the new accounts were completed 90 days back, while their stories exist from the day they were added. Therefore story counts are not directly comparable across weeks; the weekly change was counted with the same matching in both weeks.

Boyner 504 distinct contents / 7 d · 5,122 account-content rows / 9 weeks Peak: week of 24 Aug, 777 account-content rows Zara 179 distinct contents / 7 d · 1,023 account-content rows / 9 weeks Peak: week of 19 Oct, 179 account-content rows LC Waikiki 160 distinct contents / 7 d · 1,427 account-content rows / 9 weeks Peak: week of 21 Sep, 222 account-content rows Mango 58 distinct contents / 7 d · 349 account-content rows / 9 weeks Peak: week of 19 Oct, 58 account-content rows 7-day analysis period Weekly number of account-content rows (a co-authored content is a separate row for each account; the distinct content count is in the comparison table) (weeks starting Monday), 24 August – 25 October 2026, n = 7,921 account-content rows. Each panel's vertical scale is its own; for the level across brands see the previous page. The series shows nine weeks, from the week of 24 August to the report week, with the same matching. The tracked account base widened on 24–26 October: posts and reels of the new accounts were completed 90 days back, while their stories exist from the day they were added. Therefore story counts are not directly comparable across weeks; the weekly change was counted in two weeks with the same matching. The last point is the report week. Because the number of tracked accounts increased during the period, trends indicate direction; early weeks may look low.

Stories are affected by the account-base widening on 24–26 October. Reel of the week The most-played reel was a multi-brand Black Friday discount calendar shared on 20 October. A table of brand, date and discount rate sits on a zebra-pattern background; the video shows the table with still frames. Creator 36 (189,095 followers): 1,118,197 plays, 3,260 likes, 28 comments; ER per play 0.29%. All four brands' names appear in the table; ranking excludes deal accounts. Story or reels? Boyner, Zara and Mango worked with stories; LC Waikiki is reels-heavy. A significant part of the stories belongs to Boyner: 479 stories, 63.4% of the four brands' stories. Story share: Boyner 95.0%, Zara 100.0%, Mango 100.0%, LC Waikiki 25.0%. Of the total 756 stories, 479 are Boyner's; at Zara 59 stories fell on Sunday. Creator spread: narrow accounts, wide base Boyner produced 219 contents with two accounts, while LC Waikiki spread across 102 accounts. Zara and Mango relied on mid-sized, repeat accounts.

Opportunities for your brand 47.7% of Boyner's creatives carry a discount-code call. For your brand, a story that reduces the code to one sentence and puts the product image in front would differentiate. Size and stock notes repeat in Zara's stories. For your brand, a story giving product, size and stock status in a single frame could be tried. Mango's stories concentrated on bag and fur selections. For your brand, a weekly selection story focused on a single product group could be tried. Home and kids narratives stood out in LC Waikiki's reels. For your brand, a reel showing the product in a home setting and stating price and age could be tried. The most-played reel was a multi-brand discount calendar. For your brand, a short video showing discount dates in a single table could be tried. 43.5% of Boyner's contents came from two accounts. For your brand, widening the account base reduces dependence on a single rhythm.
