Red Bull’s Long-Awaited Instagram Video Crushes Competition

After the highly anticipated stratosphere jump on YouTube, most people would agree that Red Bull knows marketing, specially in video format. Therefore it comes as a surprise that they have only posted one video on Instagram since the launch of the social media platform’s video service in June.

That is until yesterday when they showed how engagement is done in true fashion with an adrenaline-pumping clip of Valery Rozov.

He might not be jumping from space, but jumping from Mount Everest is close enough. The daredevil act got over 29.000 likes in its first 12 hours on Instagram, without even being a new video. The video has in fact been on YouTube in a longer format since May.

Here at PMBC Group, a Los Angeles based Technology PR firm, we think this shows the enormous potential for brands already on YouTube to increase engagement by simply re-posting highlights onto Instagram. Why not do something of the sort on a “Throwback Thursday” like Red Bull did.

Capture Memories in Motion with Instagram Video

Here at PMBC Group, a Los Angeles based Technology PR firm, we are excited to hear about Instagram’s introduction of video recording to help share insight into our client’s brand through social media. The new feature was implemented last week, and in the first 24 hours of the debut 5 million videos were uploaded.

Instagram video allows 15 seconds of recording time, and users can choose from 13 different filters to customize your shot unlike the competitor app Vine, which allows users to create a 6 second looping video.

Vine and Instagram will have a bit of a competition going on, though more big brands seem to have taken to Instagram video than Vine to share their moving imagery since Instagram video was implemented.

Do you think Instagram video will make Vine obsolete?
