11. Case Studies
• PewDiePie
PewDiePie was born and raised in Gothenburg, Sweden. During high school, he would
skip classes to play video games at an Internet cafe with friends instead of doing his
work. He was in love with gaming and using Photoshop which is well known because
he entered competitions and almost got offered an apprenticeship in one of
Scandinavia's best advertising agencies. After not getting the apprenticeship
PewDiePie or Felix went on to selling his limited edition prints that he made on
Photoshop to buy a computer so that he could go on to making youtube videos full
time.
After several years on Youtube Felix is the most subscribed youtuber with a count of
over 54 Million “Bro’s” (subscribers)
