Social: A closer look at behaviour
on YouTube & Facebook
Executive summary
3 September 2010
2
Background & Methodology
This research looks at the behaviour and attitudes of YouTube and Facebook
users, with the aim of understanding the role of each in users’ online lives,
including :
– Motivations for visiting the sites and how they feel when they do
– ‘Social’ activities conducted on each
– Attitudes towards brand presence & different types of advertising on the sites
– Motivations and behaviours around viewing and sharing brand content
We conducted an online survey among 1,000 respondents in each UK, France and
Germany) aged 16-55 years. To qualify, respondents had to use YouTube and
Facebook at least once a month.
Fieldwork took place in June 2010.
Unless otherwise specified, results are
averaged across all 3 countries.

Key findings
While it’s commonly assumed that everyone uses YouTube and
Facebook, the overlap is smaller than you’d expect.1
Social networking is greater than any single site. YouTube and
Facebook play different but integral roles in a user’s online social
experience.
2
Brands that advertise on each site benefit from the perceived
attributes of each site.3
Users are equally likely to check out brands on both sites, but
which brands and what type of content they look for differ.4
Loyalty and familiarity are not the driving force behind
recommendations. Whether people share or like a brand depends
greatly on whether its content is interesting.

Unsurprisingly, social activities predominate on Facebook
What are they doing on Facebook?
Q2aa. Sample = 3,000 respondents
13
Uploading is motivated by desire to impress and broadcast
Users upload 3-4 videos onto each site in a given week.
• However, less than 1% of users said this was for ‘fun’ or ‘pleasure’
• Instead, they are driven by a desire both to ‘impress their friends’ and of course to
share videos with friends
• Users feel it is more likely that their immediate friends will see their videos on
Facebook, but they are more likely to upload videos to YouTube if the videos relate
to hobbies.
• 1/3 of users to either site specifically upload videos to share with anyone who is
interested, even people they don’t know.

Both YouTube and Facebook meet similar emotional needs
Users cite both sites as a break from everyday life (50%), a way to avoid
boredom (45%) and a treat (39%).
Facebook and YouTube also help users stay caught up with new stuff (47%) and
to feel adventurous by trying new things (16%).
YouTube is seen as more of a destination for fun/cheering yourself up, where
users are much more likely to visit Facebook to feel connected to people.
Interestingly, some Facebook users (17%) feel they have to log in to the site –
either to keep in touch with friends and family or
because they receive email notifications

Facebook is my downtime and my partner can’t stand
that I’m on it so much.
Alexandra, France
I use the internet at school for example, when the
lesson is boring. I just pop onto Facebook and redirect
myself. This isn’t really OK but it stops me from
getting bored.
Vanessa, DE
What do users think about each site?
I feel happy once I have gone onto
YouTube… it cheers me up and
puts me in a good mood.

How do users describe each site?

‘Entertaining’, ‘fun’, ‘interesting’ are the common perceptions of YouTube.
To a lesser degree these also hold true for Facebook, although ‘social’ is dominant

As for YouTube, my favourite time is in the evening with my
children, even if I don’t see what I want, it’s a moment of
relaxation and sharing, of laughter, we let off steam together.
Whereas with Facebook, I prefer to use it when I’m on my
own, it’s my own space and for the moment I can’t do without
it even if at the end of the day, it doesn’t serve any purpose!!!
Alexandra, France
I wouldn’t like to have less time for Facebook because it is
important for me to read everything, to answer my mails
there and comment on one another’s status. When there is
one place where you get really good gossip it’s Facebook,
and especially as a girl I don’t want to miss out on that 

45%
think that Brand advertising
on Facebook is a good idea.
25
I do expect all brands that you meet in daily life to have their own
YouTube channel because they should not miss out on this
opportunity. Also , in addition they have good commercials that
you want to rewatch at home
Vanessa, DE
Advertising on YouTube and Facebook
Facebook is, from my point of view, a
messenger for brands as it’s a community
site where groups are set up for people who
like holidays, or chocolate… as with a
brand where you can sign up to its codes,
its image, but be careful not to overdo it!!!
Alexandra, France
I think it’s good that brands are advertising on sites like YouTube
and Facebook. It shows that they understand their brands and
their potential customers. Online is a much better medium as you
can update and change information more quickly
Ian, UK

Many of the strengths of each site transfer to the brands on the site – with
brands on YouTube seen as more entertaining, fun, creative; those on Facebook
as more social.
Heavier users of YouTube and Facebook are the most positive about seeing
brands on the site; and the most likely to transfer the site’s values to the brand.

When the recommendation is made by someone else (friends, family) the impact drops by
roughly half.
For 75%of those doing
this, it has a positive
impact on how they
regard the brand

Recommendations
36
Recommendations
Planning and personality by
association.
Advertising in social spaces requires
as much planning as traditional online
display, via tools such as UKOM.
But with social you need to
understand the personality of the site
to ensure that ‘halo’ effect of being
associated with it.
1
37
Recommendations
Create content to give consumers prestige.
Users of social media are more likely to share content that
impresses their friends. Creatively, think less about your brand
and more about the prestige and KUDOS you can give consumers,
such as entertainment, money off or exclusive information.
2
38
Recommendations
Develop a clear call to action
It’s important for consumers to know why you’re in social media
in the first place. The space is noisy and competitive – for example
41% of people liked competitor brands on Facebook. To set
yourself apart and reap the rewards from your social activity,
make your reasons obvious - consider a sales message or call to
action.

  • 3. 3 Key findings While it’s commonly assumed that everyone uses YouTube and Facebook, the overlap is smaller than you’d expect.1 Social networking is greater than any single site. YouTube and Facebook play different but integral roles in a user’s online social experience. 2 Brands that advertise on each site benefit from the perceived attributes of each site.3 Users are equally likely to check out brands on both sites, but which brands and what type of content they look for differ.4 Loyalty and familiarity are not the driving force behind recommendations. Whether people share or like a brand depends greatly on whether its content is interesting. 5

  • 21. 21 As for YouTube, my favourite time is in the evening with my children, even if I don’t see what I want, it’s a moment of relaxation and sharing, of laughter, we let off steam together. Whereas with Facebook, I prefer to use it when I’m on my own, it’s my own space and for the moment I can’t do without it even if at the end of the day, it doesn’t serve any purpose!!! Alexandra, France I wouldn’t like to have less time for Facebook because it is important for me to read everything, to answer my mails there and comment on one another’s status. When there is one place where you get really good gossip it’s Facebook, and especially as a girl I don’t want to miss out on that  Vanessa, DE Sense of Community

  • 25. 25 I do expect all brands that you meet in daily life to have their own YouTube channel because they should not miss out on this opportunity. Also , in addition they have good commercials that you want to rewatch at home Vanessa, DE Advertising on YouTube and Facebook Facebook is, from my point of view, a messenger for brands as it’s a community site where groups are set up for people who like holidays, or chocolate… as with a brand where you can sign up to its codes, its image, but be careful not to overdo it!!! Alexandra, France I think it’s good that brands are advertising on sites like YouTube and Facebook. It shows that they understand their brands and their potential customers. Online is a much better medium as you can update and change information more quickly Ian, UK
