A surprisingly high number of branded YouTube channels -- like Amazon’s and UPS’s -- are sparingly updated and have few followers. Meanwhile, a handful of brands -- including Visa, Oracle and ExxonMobil -- don’t appear to have branded YouTube channels at all.
The following brands demonstrate why Amazon et al are missing out on a big opportunity. As these examples show, a YouTube channel doesn’t have to merely be a vehicle for new commercials. It can house games, behind-the-scenes stories and, best of all, a new, visual way to interact with your fan base.
