Strong long tail which can ultimately
lead to more views, and sustained
views and engagement over time

Embedded Videos
• Became available for
Facebook in March, but
YouTube embeds are
used more by publishers
• These embeds contribute
to long tail views on YT

It’s easier to get to 5M views on
Facebook, but what does that view mean?

• No videos uploaded in Q1 to Facebook have reached 100M views; conversely 10 videos from Q1 2015 on YouTube reached 100M views
(all music videos).
• As of May 2015, Facebook had 5 videos reach 100M views, YouTube had 874 videos.
• 87% of videos with 100M+ views all-time on YouTube are music videos (official & unofficial)
• YouTube’s long tail of videos
is significantly larger than
Facebook’s
• YouTube uploads outpace
Facebook in all view buckets
below 500K views

– 87% of videos above 100 Million

Fast facts Top recent creators Top recent videos
• Facebook video can generate massive view count
given 3 second auto-play, but given the early
nature of platform, videos have minimal staying
power and short lifespans at this point
Tubular TakeawaysAudience
• 74% of American Youth (12-24 year olds) use
Facebook; its importance among youth has decreased
consistently since Spring 2013.
• High engagement of audience given native sharing
capabilities
• “Two girls, one cockroach, and a lot of
motivation not to suck” – highly
popular recent video
• Popular videos span categories
• Most popular videos are non-premium
and would not be considered brand-
safe
• Mavi Kocaeli, Young Paperboyz,
Street FX Motorsport
• Top creators are not celebrities but
are normal people
• Top creators are often curators
more than creators
• View counter introduced in
September 2014
• Videos auto play without sound,
view is counted at 3 seconds
• Most videos are viewed in a user’s
news feed
• Embeddable video player was

Facebook video targeting details
Platform specifics Implications for marketers
Videos are autoplayed without sound
first – user must click sound to hear
audio
Make first frame very catchy –
consider using “title” card for reader to
understand content
Videos can receive massive number of
views in short period, but popularity
declines quickly
Consider using FB video to “jump
start” a campaign living on multiple
platforms, or for shorter campaigns
only
Most popular videos are lowbrow in
nature, do not have the cachet of
premium video inventory
Create for the platform – utilize eye-
catching stunts, prank content; play to
the audience

Fast facts Top recent creators Top recent videos
• January 2013: initial Vine release
• Views are counted as “loops” on
Vine. A view is a “single” 6 second
loop.
• The Vine feed auto plays videos
• Working with influencers for branded content is the
most effective way to reach a mass and engaged
audience on Vine.
Tubular TakeawaysAudience
• Fans on Vine follow influencers almost exclusively.
• Vine is most popular among youth (12-24), however,
less so than Instagram, Facebook or YouTube.
• Top videos are a little random (e.g.
Ryan Gosling eating cereal)
• Top 5 videos have all different sorts
of topics
• Thomas Sanders, Lele Pons,
KingBach
• Top creators on Vine are typically
comedians or pranksters
• Personality is really important with

Vine video targeting details
Platform specifics Implications for marketers
Videos are short at only 6 seconds
Plan a head. The best vines are not
stale shots, but planned story arcs fit
into 6 seconds
Majority of views on the platform are
driven by influencers; fewer random
“viral” hits on Vine from smaller
creators
Work with influencers, rather than
investing in original content.
Vine videos play on a loop
Some of the best content gives the
appearance of an endless sequence,
which inevitable leads to more time
spent with the video and the content.
