The summer lull affected video views and interactions for watches & jewellery brands in July, but a few stand-outs still managed to turn heads.
Watches & jewellery brands were less active than during the rest of the year, however, their videos were dynamic, mostly based on sports, adventure and travel.
There is a clear trend for brands to be more active on specific channels: while Tiffany & Co, Tag Heuer and Hublot are Instagram super-stars, Rolex, Audemars Piguet and MontBlanc are more active on YouTube.
Audemars Piguet saw the best increase in July’s ranking, especially thanks to its performance on YouTube with 1,781,980 views.
Despite a drop in views and interactions across all brands for the month of July, Audemars Piguet claimed the most successful combined rate for its videos and gathered 94% of share of views with just three videos.
Rolex and Breitling, however, outperform all competitors in terms of interactions with their videos on aviation, golf and tennis.
Rolex in particular scored an outstanding interaction rate of 54.3% with its one-minute long clip celebrating the best moments of the ‘Open Championship’ golf tournaments over the years.
Back to overall rankings, the slow viewing month saw Jaeger-LeCoultre drop to the 17th position again (like in May), despite higher activity in June.
Tiffany & Co, Cartier, Bulgari, Rolex and Swarovski, however, maintained their standing, steadily at the top of the ranking since May 2015.
Looking at Instagram specifically, less than half of the brands were active on the photo-sharing platform this month. As a result the share of interactions are more equally distributed than usual and they are directly related to the number of subscribers.
As a result, Cartier saw its number of interactions decrease from 102K in June to 17K interactions in July, losing the first position.
Despite only 2 publishing videos, Tiffany&Co; took the lead and was the brand which generated the highest number of interactions (77,116) on Instagram alone.
