How Red Bull Makes Money

Besides selling one can for almost every person on the planet in 2019, Red Bull owns several football clubs, runs two formula one teams and is famous for its extreme sporting events and athletes. Obviously, Red Bull does much more than selling an energy drink. But is all that just marketing? We take a closer look at how Red Bull makes money.

Action sports wouldn’t be the same without Red Bull. They have made so many dreams come true (every athlete the sponsor), brought so much attention towards action sports that’s helped it flourish, pushed every single sport to new levels as we all know everything costs money. I’ve been inspired by so many of their videos over my life time. What an amazing way to invest your money into others, something you don’t hear off at all in any other industry. Thank you Red Bull for everything you’ve done

The reason I always have supported them is because they invest a substantial amount of money in action sports where there is no financial future for the top athletes and little money in the sports in general.

what's great about it is the marketing is generating cold hard cash itself from sporting teams and events which would then be used as content to their social medias that can also make ad money that is an amazing strategy as red bull can either use those money to their marketing strategies whilst the revenue from the main business can remain untouch

Moral of the story: Red Bull makes money by selling Energy Drinks

[@ArthurLdc]

Literally 😂

[@effortLus]

Overpriced* energy drinks

[@JamesSmith-uh8zf]

It is good that you mentioned that family in Thailand that has become vastly wealthy from Red Bull. One interesting note is that Krating Daeng was actually kind of a cheap knock off of a Japanese energy drink called Lipovitan. It was popular with laborers and construction workers.

[@magnuskallas]

Oh man, I'm so glad to learn this info. I have this vague memory of early nineties after the collapse of the USSR, Lipovitan was one of the "vitality elyxirs" marketed for the elderly in the Baltics. Usually only sold at pharmacies. Some really strange brands competed in this segment, most were either Jagermeister-type of booze drops or caffeine based stimulants.

[@topdeckdog]

I met a Red Bull athlete at an airport once. He said he couldn't wait to get back to his home country so he could take all of his swag off, wear his own clothes and "stop looking like a marketing Christmas tree".
