Blog 4


When reviewing the last 10 videos on Reebok and Adidas YouTube page I have observed significant characteristics about both companies. Adidas posts a video once every two weeks; the purpose of the videos are to raise awareness about which athlete is endorsing Adidas products. Adidas most successful post is about double Olympic World Champion Jaqueline Carvalho a famous Brazilian volleyball player. In the 15 second video Jaqueline is seen working out and playing volleyball in Adidas’ apparel. In the description area of the video there Adidas included relevant content to the video such as, who Jaqueline Carvalho is, the music used in the video, and links to their other social media platforms along with a link to their homepage. The video used keyword such as: “Here To Create, Reinvent myself at ALL costs, Nothing can stop ME and Fear is the enemy of creativity. The video received 3,013,871 views, 279 thumbs up, 72 thumbs down and 15 comments. In contrast, Reebok posts a video everyday and sometimes twice a day; similarly the purposes of the videos are to show the audience the athletes Reebok is endorsing and to show the audience the new product that they are releasing. Reebok’s most successful post from the recent 10 videos is about Fer Casanova who is an OCR Athlete. In the description section of the video Reebok included who was in the video and the product in the video. The video shows Fer Casanova participating in the Metro Challenge while running in Reebok Z Pump 2.0 shoes. The video earned Reebok 66,130 views, 88 thumbs up, 1 thumb down and 5 comments. The most successful video of the two is the Adidas video. I came to this conclusion by considering at the amount of views, thumbs up, comments and the description area of the of the video; where Adidas incorporated links to their social sites while Reebok did not.
