VloĆŸit

- Besides selling one can for almost every person on the planet in 2019, Red Bull owns several football clubs, runs two formula one teams and is famous for its extreme sporting events and athletes. Obviously, Red Bull does much more than selling an energy drink. But is all that just marketing? We take a closer look at how Red Bull makes money.

Action sports wouldnât be the same without Red Bull. They have made so many dreams come true (every athlete the sponsor), brought so much attention towards action sports thatâs helped it flourish, pushed every single sport to new levels as we all know everything costs money. Iâve been inspired by so many of their videos over my life time. What an amazing way to invest your money into others, something you donât hear off at all in any other industry. Thank you Red Bull for everything youâve done
Also fantastic video, Iâve always wondered how Red Bull can create so much
Lies again? AIA Money Spank Bang
The reason I always have supported them is because they invest a substantial amount of money in action sports where there is no financial future for the top athletes and little money in the sports in general. The wide range of events they sponsor is amazing. I wish other companies had the same ambition to get into emerging action sports without taking away what makes them cool to begin with.
"The reason I always have supported them is because they invest a substantial amount of money in action sports where there is no financial future for the top athletes and little money in the sports in general." Bingo, right here. Agreed.
agreed. although the only way i have supported them is by watching their great content. i dont buy energy drinks. they are super unhealthy. i guess if you are active enough its okay, but im usually not very active these days.
I would also like to find ways to support them as they sponsor events and athletes that would otherwise not be monitarrily feasible. like redbull rampage and the soapbox racing, but I don't drink energy drinks.
@@socks2441 they are certainly not for Athletes either.

Red Bull has mastered brand recognition, as someone who personally deals with them on many events, they will absolutely support you even if the event is forecast to only break even, because they know that every can of Red Bull sold to people down the line years after the event is still worth it
I went to a flight school in the middle of nowhere, maybe 50 people a year go there, and thet had a RedBull sponsorship. They had an acrobatic airplane with an awesome RedBull livery, tents that said "sponsored by RedBull", fridges with free energy drinks, and more.

Esports is a joke
Redbull makes 97% of it's money selling Redbull... what a shocker!
The way redbull are so stromg in every team is insane, and its not just money. They must have really clever people in their management to pull all of this off consistently
I wish Redbull bought twitter.
Why didn't you touch base on the crazy low-budget cartoon advertisements they do ?
This ^
I really like those animations they're cool and funny
And itâs the same ones since like 2000
"Red Bull te da aaaalaaas" is a phrase that's been stuck in my mind since like forever
Wait until they get political.........
I see! Red bull makes money selling Red bull. That's genius!
woah that totally flew over my head i had no idea haha
Bro you killed me
1. created a market for "energy drink"
2. Push it with aggressive marketing and ads
3. 9 cents to produce, 1.87$ price to wholesales, 3.5$ to end user
4. University campus presence, extreme sports events, TV and internet presence.
Making a LOT of money, selling water with sugar and crap.... That is genius.
@@zuzvang If the USSR had won the Cold War, Redbull so wouldn't be a thing lmao
I know right
I've always wondered of the value of their sports / racing teams, like between the revenue the teams generates and the marketing it provides for the drink, does that cover the costs of running these teams, or are they basically using their drink profits to subsidize their sports teams
Ohhh I love a good video that breaks down the genius behind brands that made it big.
Excellent content.
"Sorry there's no market for that product"
Uhh yeah, you can become 100% of the market then...
Market share? All of it.
"No market" = nobody wants it.
Turns out Red Bull was the first of its kind.

They also organize a HUGE event in spanish speaking countries called "Red Bull Batalla de los Gallos" which is a freestyle hip-hop tournament (improvisation battles with hip hop tracks). Almost every country has their own national tournament and each countries' champion goes to the "International Final" where the best 16 freestylers of the spanish speaking world compete. It's amazing

@@madlad1868 At least in spanish speaking countries it's a big thing (an entire continent), plus unfortunately, most south american countries are not precisely considered first world
Something that helps is that it is not intended to be a "family drink" like Coke and Pepsi that the kiddies can drink at their birthday parties or with their chicken nuggets. So it can be marketed in a very aggressive and different way *for adults* , who at the end of the day are the ones who have the money. You can sponsor stuff that the soft drinks could be criticized if they do because they will try to keep their safe-for-children image.
I had always suspected the markup from manufacturing to retail for Red Bull to be tremendous; as financing a Formula 1 race team to the tune of 100-plus million Euros is telling.
Leading up to this video, my guestimate for the manufacturing cost of a can of Red Bull was around (US) 20 cents. Turns out I was off by 50 percent.
2 F1 Teams actually lol! Red bull (main) and alphatauri (junior) itâs crazy
The fact they can pull off selling a can of 12 oz energy drink for 3.59 is pretty impressive not gonna lie. I always thought Red Bullâs were overpriced as shit
Why people buy this, never will understand it.

*I literally grew up with RedBull around me, I saw them first with their Formula One team, who appeared in 2005. And eventhough I've never drink a single can, I support almost every sportman (or team) who is sponsored by RedBull. Why?*
*Because they have something special with their vision of sponsorship you know? They always put their brand on someone who is able to win the competition and everytime you see the RB colours on a shirt, helmet, bike, car, plane, truck, astronaut, you understand this man can show you some crazy skills he is born with to win.*
They were one of the sponsors of the Sauber Petronas team prior to acquiring their own F1 team.
I remember them from the late 90' onwards.
I just can't seem to remember which struggling team they bought.
It was the Jaguar team, if i'm not mistaken.

It's an exciting company for sure, and their marketing strategy is pure genious. My personal favourite among their activities, is the immaculately restored Douglas DC-6 airliner - she's a beauty.
They are everywhere, even in eSports.
While the Austrian guy teamed with Krating Daeng owner, it all began with Lipovitan D, a japanese energy drink marketed to salary men. That drink came to Thailand and was manufactured by a thai company under license. That same company made their own version, M150 and Krating Daeng was a copy of M150. M150 still leading the truck driver market in thailand today.

great video on something I've wondering about. but i love the PSA slipped in at 6:01
With Max Verstappen and of how well RedBull as been performing, and of what the brand is as a whole, I have recently started getting RedBull quite a bit since 2020. Iâve had it years ago but never really thought of it much.
Wot
Not gonna say they shouldnât diversify, but red bull will be in every college till the end of time
Maybe they should start planting apples and make water bottles, with Red Bull logo. :/
Red Bull vodka baby
I think they are in most every bar too.
For the next 10, 15 years, probably. But it's hard to stay permanently hip and cool, especially since young people tend to think that the stuff that the previous generation liked is lame. Doesn't mean it's impossible, but it's still definitely a risk for the company.
I don't know anyone at my school that drinks red bull. It's all about the crazier, more "extreme" stuff now like bang
I admire RedBull as a company and think they are doing a great job in starting the diversification process. As a football fan however, I would dread it if all my local club's culture got wiped away to be named and branded after an energy drink...

what's great about it is the marketing is generating cold hard cash itself
from sporting teams and events which would then be used as content to their social medias that can also make ad money
that is an amazing strategy as red bull can either use those money to their marketing strategies whilst the revenue from the main business can remain untouch
Great quality and production. Keep it up! đȘ
JĂ€gerbombs, the reason and solution of all my problems.
I don't link red bull but every now and then I see the lure of it. I mean there are so many choices of drinks and me I prefer coffee. I think we are overwhelmed with the amount of advertisement. I think the older I get and the more income I make I tend to lean at family ran businesses. Nice insight on the football aspect of Red Bull.
The first time I saw the "Red Bull" brand was in Wipeout XL, video game for PSone. The brand appeared throughout the game and especially during loadings, with the phrase "improve reaction time! Red Bull".
Funny thing is, at the time I thought it was fictional. Later, I was very surprised seeing it in the supermarket.
never really drank redbull, but always loved the videos and events they did, they really filled the voiding contrast between extreme sports and regular conventional sports.
It is good that you mentioned that family in Thailand that has become vastly wealthy from Red Bull. One interesting note is that Krating Daeng was actually kind of a cheap knock off of a Japanese energy drink called Lipovitan. It was popular with laborers and construction workers.
Oh man, I'm so glad to learn this info. I have this vague memory of early nineties after the collapse of the USSR, Lipovitan was one of the "vitality elyxirs" marketed for the elderly in the Baltics. Usually only sold at pharmacies. Some really strange brands competed in this segment, most were either Jagermeister-type of booze drops or caffeine based stimulants.
Honestly it's just great that redbull can sponsor all these extreme/top sports so people can do cool things
2:14 - not only RB spread across the continent, it also helped Poland conquer Kaliningrad Oblast without a single bullet shot. True story ;-).
Their business model is just to target me, as I pretty much fund the whole company through my addiction to the stuff

The Redbull Team: Wow. So this is how we make money
How much is a can in the States? And I thought the 1.19⏠they are charging in Germany was expensive.
2 for 5$ is pretty standard

@@DanSoloha woot woot Ohio. Sometimes a can could run up to 3.69 for the 12 oz cans at convenience stores.

Realmente uma abordagem incrĂvel! ParabĂ©ns!!!
Wait wait wait, so the dude ACTUALLY talked to the original owner and had ethics? Mad respect
Not talked to, became co-owners of the brand with, equally invested. How much more filthy rich is the original Thai founder now than he was before Red Bull was launched in Europe?
@@psychlops924 I mean honestly still better than just stealing the brand
Better than Taco Bell history
yes, 49% shares in austria and 51% shares in thailand
Narrator said manufacturer, not owner/creator. So I wonder if an original inventor was ripped off. If the manufacturer was just someone who owns a kitchen that creates and packages the drink, the idea could still be stolen from the original owner.
I donât even drink Red Bull never had and never will but I really like their logo with the bulls running towards each other
Me neither but I'm still a supporter of the Red Bull f1 team
just out of curiosity: why wont you ever drink it? did you drink it and did not like it or is it a principle?
why ? i taste it once, and the taste not surprised me, cause kratingdaeng is pretty popular here. the taste are the same, but rb is not as strong as kratingdaeng. i kinda like it cold. but a little bit expensive around 1,2$ a can, worth the try.
@@ihsan75y it's quite expensive in my country. The price is about 1,25⏠but that's why we drink other brands like Hell energy, Burn, Rooster, Booster, Monster etc.. It's the same taste I just don't really know if the effect is the same.
@@purritto3779 monster does not taste like red bull, monster is so shit compared. Red bull is waaaaaay better

"Didn't see a market outside of Asia".
Oh boy, there's a decision that backfired. Those corporations could have been even richer than they are now. Imagine that.

umm have you not watched the video? Red bull isn't into selling drinks. It's into marketing. they are what they are not because of the drinks they sell but because of everything they built around it.
@@83hjf Well put it this way, they wouldn't be as big as they are without the drink to sell in the first place, so no matter which way you look at it...the drink is kinda vital to their success.
@@xbm41 I drank both types a lot back in my younger age, the only differences (that I could tell) is just the European version is carbonated. Also ingredients are always shown on the can.
@@CookieeMonstarr666 I don't like European version because it's carbonated & it's double the price than Thai version here in SEA. They now have silver version with 30% 'less sugar' than original gold version. Even then, it's still too sweet. I only drink it whenever I have to travel long distance.
I always wondered this because of how many sponsors they had and I was so confused on how they make money thanks pal

One thing I think really helps them out is selling a consumable product. It would be much harder for Redbull to get the revenue from their product if they has a way more niche item like a sports camera or a more physical product like a laptop.
"They don't do conventional marketing"
My only quibble with this video because they've been running TV ads here in the United States for many years now. And I'd say TV ads are definitely conventional marketing. But either way I just found your channel and can't wait to binge watch all your videos. đ
profit margin of 4000% now thats a rip-off even apple would be jealous of
4000% is very low for the brands these days. People are paying 500⏠for shoes, 10⏠for a cup if coffee, i bet you could sell some people a bag of dogshit as long as the price is high enough and you put the right logo on the bag

Sin la marca RedBull probablemente la escena de freestyle Hispano no seria tan grande como lo es, siendo que es fecha que ganar la Red Bull sigue siendo el hito mas grande para todos los raperos freestylers en todo LATAM y España
These videos are astounding!!
There is an astonishing number of RedBull events, everywhere, everytime, in every disciplines
There is even one for a rdr 2 concert.
And they're generally really good too. Hosted well, top line athletes, all around good environments that are planned well and showcase great skills.
A lot of Red Bull's additional media efforts actually cost them money (such as The Red Bulletin magazine) and serve as little more than vanity items. The brand is all about flooding channels for top of mind awareness. I worked there and found that although they present as a revolutionary marketing company, the majority of their success is still due to the massive bar/nightclub penetration (something like 95+% of the bars in the world) and the US consumers, who have no preference between RB and Monster, statistically. In fact, Red Bull has less brand allegiance than Monster in the US, which I would attribute to failed local MKT initiatives. This is due to their rigid corporate structure and Austrian control. They are WAY behind on simply supporting content creators, for instance, and always wanted those MKT initiatives to go ALL the way to US or world headquarters.
Was my dream job, but the magic is all in the distribution. A legacy brand goes a long way in a low brand-affinity MKT; + their world-class athletes keep them relevant. They could cut all marketing but their sports MKT and bar business and have a better margin. However, it remains Dietrich's private play thing.
Edit: By cost them money, I mean they never will make money (unlike the sports franchises, although you must emphasize that a sports franchise that makes a 100 mil in profit is but a drop in the bucket for a company this size)
Interesting. Can I ask what might be aa stupid question? How do they calculate the return on spending 50 million dollars(space jump)? They estimated it to be 6 billion, but how?
I mean, that was marketing and not a sales thing, how can they calculate the conversion from there? Keen on the answer!
@@nhlanhlamala2381 assessing the value could look something like taking an average (rolling, or YoY) for each sales region, then assess the "lift" in sales after the space jump (which was globally televised). If any, sales aren't explained by avg growth or variability, then you can attribute it to the jump. Gets complicated, however, when you take into consideration all of the MKT activations, globally. Each region is handling some of its own MKT, so you have to think " is this lift because of the jump or is it because of something that region did?" In the case of the space jump, it was HUGE, so I bet a graph of sales data shows a pretty obvious bump.
â@@_e5598 Okay, it makes sense. So there is no definitive way of knowing that it was because of a certain reason. Unless people were paying/buying a can to watch the jump? Cool. So unless it's more sales, you won't know(conversion).
All that is in retrospect. Would there be a way to pitch, say this jump, and predict the ROI? Forecast?
@@typo1337 I can't tag you in my answer, please check below.
@@nhlanhlamala2381 yeah, so that's what business school is for. Pitching something like that is about massive research. Lots of things play a factor. Earned and paid media, tons of corporate sponsors and channels. This has never been a problem for Red Bull in particular though. Like I said above, the business is unsinkable based on the night club business alone and Dietrich can spend his Fuck You money on whatever he likes (he hapens to like aviation quite a lot), the MASSIVE earned media and sales lift is practically the cherry on top.
Never let the company's brand cloud the athlete's achievements. They are barely paid and they do it because it's what they love. They don't reap the sales lift.
0:46 i think if red bull would have a third formula one team, it would be Krating Daeng
Iâve literally been wondering this for everđ€
Red Bull has a Genius level of Marketing which is why they were able to get such high sale numbers.
It is also highly addictive... It keeps you awake but also give you bad sleep quality that makes you more tired, which in return makes you take more Red Bull to keep awake which again makes your sleep quality even worse and so on and on. Before you know it you can not function at all without it...
@@a64738 if you drink gallons of it, then yes. Sleep quality is bullshit though
Red bull makes you flyyy
Its easy but when we talk about money not everyone can do this kind of marketing.
Imagine later in life explaining to a kid what redbull was, if it isnât around anymore
The F1 team that sold energy drinks on the side
I never tasted red bull and I have no intention of doing so...but I still respect the way they were able to grow to such heights
Nah you gotta try a Redbull buy one keep it in the fridge and drink it when youâve done some hard work or need a pick up it just hits different
One critical point that is often voiced but successfully suppressed by the media power of redbull, is that their producers often push athletes and adventurers to more risky behaviour, which makes for more spectacular shots but resulted in death or serious injuries.
Such as?
Man, i really forgot that red bull was making energy drinks
No lie. I've been wondering this for sooooo long.
Very very underated Channel
Fascinating, thank you !
Thank YOU!
redbull organise the biggest breakdancing event. When i went on their event website, the breaking events were not even mention, because they organise much bigger events. Now, they support a lot the breaking scene organising events all around the world, even in deprived area. Besides, they sponsor a lot of breakdancers, treating them like pro athlete. I don't drink redbull, but i have the upmost respect for the brand. peace.
Same. I wish there was a sensible way to support the company that won't affect my health. In my opinion it would be a worthwhile investment for them to create a drink that would actually be responsible for their own athletes to drink.
@@luisjanssen8799 They'll have to innovate with a new product eventually, like mentioned in the video. The way you can support them now is watching their content and supporting their sports teams by buying merchandise!
Yeah redbull actual sponsors or organises a lot of events for smaller or grass roots type scenes. I actually think in terms of marketing its one of there strongest moves.
@@VentusOfficiall in Austria redbull is selling much more products. There is water, cola, ginger ale, tonic water and many mor. And this year they were starting to sell Lemonade and beer. They User for it another Brand called "Thalheimer".
