Youtube Battle: Budweiser VS Alexander Keith's

Youtube is another social media platform that is quickly gaining ground.  It’s perfect for placing ads on other videos and commercials/promotional ads on your own page.  So far on my last 3 posts about Facebook, Twitter & Instagram, Budweiser has easily been not only the king of beers, but also social media! Once again, this does not change.  The following chart answers these 3 questions regarding Keith’s and Budweisers’ Youtube accounts:

·         How often does each brand post a new video/commercial?
·         What kind of video content does each brand post (commercials, celebrity spots, how-to’s, news, industry related events, music videos, etc.)
·         In the description area, what kind of content is included (links to other sites, keywords, descriptions, etc.)

Alexander Keith’s

·         Have not made a post in 6 months.  They posted a lot 6-7 months ago. Not active.

·         Most of their posts are about types of foods that you can make that go well with the drink.  A lot of these foods are popular on the east coast, especially Halifax and each video is usually a background story of someone who enjoys the food with the drink and why.

·         Their description of the channel is “Welcome to Alexander Keith’s official channel. Brewed since 1820, Alexander Keith’s brings flavour to life. Please enjoy responsibly.”  Below that is a link to their website and Facebook page.

Budweiser

·         They post as much as they do on any other social media site.  At least 5-6 times a month. Very active.

·         Budweiser makes a lot of posts. Commercial posts, promotional posts, celebrity posts.  The celebrity post is also a commercial which was aired during the superbowl where Hellen Mirren talks about drunk driving.  Their promotional posts are about why Budweiser is the best beer, why you should have it during the playoffs and why you should celebrate St. Patrick’s day drinking it.

·         The description for their channel: “Budweiser is the Great American Lager from Anheuser-Busch. Subscribe to our Youtube channel to keep up with your favorite American lager beer!” Below that is 5 links: Website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & Pinterest.


What is their most effective/popular video?

Alexander Keith’s

I’m not sure what separates this video apart from the other “UNTAPPED” ones but I guess the type of food they advertised was more popular than others. Other than that, I can’t really see any difference, the length of the videos are all somewhat similar.  They might have advertised this video at the right times.  Check the link for yourself and comment why you think this video has the most views!

Budweiser

What makes this commercial so popular ? Well for one thing it was aired during the superbowl and another, it’s awesome.  Upbeat music that gets the viewer pumped, its cocky and fun and showcases their confidence.  They remind you throughout the video why they are the “King of beers”.  Saying “people who drink Budweiser like beer” or “let them sip their pumpkin spice ale, while we brew some golden suds”.  It’s almost an ad saying that hey you can drink other beers, but REAL beer drinking men & Women are what Budweiser is for. Check out the ad below and see for yourself.  As you can see below it, it’s quite popular!
