GoPro Creating Brand Loyalty Through YouTube

GoPro’s YouTube channel is one of the top YouTube channels on the web! It really attracts consumers by showing them videos that catch their attention, and get their adrenaline pumping. Gopro has videos that are amazingly eye-catching and exhilarating. The YouTube channel has over 2 million subscribers, and receives millions of likes and shares on their videos daily.  These videos are not only just promoting the camera, but depicting amazing moments you can capture with the Gopro camera. Gopro has thousands of videos and posts daily, and the web page is always updated and active.  I really think YouTube is a great way to really display how a product works, and Gopro does a great job at keeping the YouTube channel user-friendly. There is no company doing better than GoPro on YouTube because GoPro gets thousands of hours of free publicity a week. GoPro lets people submit videos and then will upload some of them.  Involving the fans with the YouTube channel has really built a loyal, engaged audience, and makes the consumers feel truly connected to the brand. Adam Dornbusch, GoPro's Senior Director of Content Distribution, told The News, "We realized there was such an opportunity here. The users were not only using our cameras but were attaching our name (in the titles and descriptions) to incorporate with us.”  He goes on, "Sometimes I'll get a call and someone will say, 'That's a great video you guys did.' We have nothing to do with that. People just want to be associated with our product.” Go Pro also has a “bonus program.”  Any users who get to a million views will receive an incentive of $1000.  This really encourages consumers to get involved, and some of these videos promoting the product even go viral.
