the challenge

last year, Prime Video entered the Dutch market, where competitors like Netflix and the smaller Dutch variant Videoland were already established

Prime Video’s main goal was to gain increased awareness amongst Dutch film/TV fans for their variety of originals and exclusives. On YouTube, this meant increasing brand awareness, content discovery and to grow a loyal fanbase that engages with and actively follows Prime Video’s YouTube channel. Key metrics were views, watch time, engagements and subscribers.

strategy

we made sure to communicate in the right way

By indulging in their culture and speaking their language we would create a loyal fan base consisting of true Prime Video lovers.

During the process of establishing the YouTube channel, we optimised Prime’s distribution strategy across external websites to drive conversation. The key to success, however, was our tailor-made advertising strategy which focused on distributing organic content and serving them as ads among specific audiences.

These ads weren’t your usual shortened videos or typical commercials. They were long-form specially edited memes run as ads, which led to a tremendous growth in the channel’s popularity. The viewers weren’t used to seeing these kinds of ads, but they absolutely loved it.
