With 45.3 billion total beauty views and 123,164,115 beauty subscribers, YouTube is like lipstick in a woman’s purse: a must-have. To study the category more deeply, video ad buying and marketing technology company Pixability released Beauty on YouTube 2015. Key points include:
– Bethany Mota has taken the top spot over Michelle Phan as YouTube’s number one beauty creator, with 8.7 million subscribers compared to Phan’s 7.7 million subscribers.
– YouTube’s beauty ecosystem experienced a 50 percent growth rate in views from 2013-2014, and 55 percent of video views occur on mobile devices.
– Total monthly views of beauty brand-produced content on YouTube have increased 78 percent from Jan. 2014 to April 2015 (35 percent faster growth than overall beauty content), and brand mentions increased 53 percent.
- Interest in mature beauty, men’s grooming, and crossover content (beauty + fashion or beauty + comedy) has grown: Mature beauty monthly views are increasing 62 percent faster than the overall beauty space; the top ten men’s grooming channels collectively hold 5.4 million channel subscribers (4.4 percent of YouTube’s 123 million beauty subscribers); cross-over content earns 530 percent more views per video and 670 percent more Facebook shares per vid than beauty-only videos.
FreeWheel launched a VOD pilot to enable programmers to manage VOD ads alongside IP/Digital ads and STB within a single platform. The plan is in collaboration with Canoe and several programmers such as ABC, A+E Networks and Comcast.
