Something that is also left out is they also a big sponsor of the recovery, restoration and maintenance of old WARBIRDS - basically any fighter planes or bombers that were flown in WWII. RB would have had a hand in their restoration and getting them restored and flight worthy as well as participating in big airshows which they'll also sponsor. They have their own flight team called 'The Flying Bulls'
@@SoulDuckling126 Ive read comments about how they hate that a lot of the planes they use are often tagged with the RB bull logo or painted in RB colours. Like a P-38 or P-51 with the bull logo on it. Its not really period correct but there is no way these planes would exist in the condition they are in and fly air shows without RB's help.
It's hard to imagine how all Red Bull built up until now started with just selling energy drinks. You know they're really swimming in cash when they got two teams in F1, a motorsport that's notoriously expensive to enter and compete in, alongside an entire race track in Austria. The main Red Bull team, partially thanks to a budget cap, made a profit in 2022. So the team basically pays for itself thanks to prize money and sponsors now all while still having the Red Bull marketing tied to it.
A single F1 tire worth more than a few thousand RB and they can still able to make money while most other teams are in red for years is pretty amazing.
Even Esports got the Red Bull sponsorships. I had seen a good lot of Video game tourneys be played with Red Bull. Some small, some big. But even video gamers are part of Red Bull at this point.
It's so funny to think back to the 90s especially the end of it, when RedBull became a thing world wide and for Austrians it was something completely normal you get literally everywhere - in fact more often than Coca Cola. And yeah, lots of people think Red Bull makes drinks while it was always Rauch doing the production and RedBull itself is a marketing company. Didi died a view years back, so now the company is BTW completely owned by it's Asian owners, but the HQ in Fuschl Am See is still kicking in Salzburg (pun intended) and seems to do find after a bit of an uncertainty how the company could even exist with it's former show runner gone.
Since the founding of Red Bull (even though this is actually the European/western arm of Kratingdaeng), Didi is by no means a majority shareholder, there is a share agreement that the yoovidhya family owns 51% (founder Kratingdaeng holds 49%, 2% for his successors), Didi was given the mandate to promote this product so that a drink that is actually for low-wage workers becomes a modern drink, By shifting the target to vulnerable young people, this energy drink trend has exploded and can make a profit to the point that it can replace banned cigarette sponsors
You know the brand is that powerful when in the highest racing sport (Formula 1) in the world, not only it able to dominate above not 1, not 2, but at least 3 car manufacture (Mercedes, Ferrari, McLaren), but to be able to produce the most dominant season of Formula 1 this decade, it's impressive. Simply, simply lovely.
I liked redbull, the company I work for used to haul it, I miss the OSD and other freebies, redbull let us keep it because they didn't want to pay to ship it back
and it's amazing to find that red bull isn't just using those teams for marketing they're also generating profits from it as the owner then those money can then be invested into further marketing campaigns which would help them reduce the expenses from their main business revenue
Austrian Grand Prix. it's the Austrian Grand Prix, it was only the Styrian Grand Prix in 2020 and 2021, when the track held 2 races, in response to Calendar limitations caused by covid.
I still don't understand how so many people drink Red Bull, it by far the most disgusting drink I've ever had, outside of maybe Monster, which is basically the same thing.
I dont drink caffeine so never tried any energy drinks "Im sweet enough" in my Bricktop voice, and your telling me redbull was a one channel extreme content version of RU-vid before RU-vid existed plus all the other stuff they do.
@@bruhngl I've only ever experienced the opposite. There's a reason all these athletes that are sponsored by Red Bull are never drinking it themselves. It gives you maybe 5 minutes of energy to make you completely crash afterwards. Drinking Red Bull gives you a worse 'after dinner dip' than any dinner I've had. But maybe that's not true for everyone.
I always thought it was most popular with teenagers. Most of the time you see people drinking energy drinks, they are teens. At least here in the Netherlands, maybe it's different in other countries.
