Red Bull vs. Gatorade - Youtube #4

In this post, we are going to look at Red Bull’s and Gatorade’s Youtube channels. Red Bull comes out strong by posting a video almost every day. Their most recent upload as of this post was 4 hours ago. The majority of Red Bull’s Youtube uploads are sports videos relating to their various events they cover and sponsor. It mostly has to do with dirtbiking, skiing/snowboarding, WRC and biking. None of their videos are advertisements for the actual Red Bull drink. Gatorade uploads a bit differently by uploading every a few videos in groups every few weeks. Their most recent post was 4 days ago, then a few videos were uploaded 5 days ago, and then the rest were much further spaced apart. Gatorade uploads mostly sports related videos, usually interviews, or inspiration stories and many advertisements for their drinks, and food.

In their description section, Red Bull links to its many social media accounts, such as: Red Bull TV, Twitter, RedBull.com, Google+, Facebook, Instagram, and the Red Bull Newsletter. Gatorade has links to their website (Gatorade.com) and their Google+ profile.
