Brief HistoryFormed by Nicholas Woodman around 2002 as a means to
capture professional quality video photography footage that truly puts the viewer in the eyes and hands of the
person performing the act. GoPro is based out of San Mateo, California
In their short time as a company, GoPro has inspired and engaged the world to “capture the moment” through
their own brand of high-definition personal cameras, often used in extreme action video photography.
Wear it. Mount it. Love it.“Capture The Moment”
GoPro’s YouTube channel is definitely their most popular platform for interaction. It has not only inspired other YouTube users to go out and film
some of their amazing experiences, but provides the public with professional footage of
adrenaline-pumping videos that they can share with others!
They also post “Videos // Photos of the Day” submitted by viewers who have captured their
own unique experience, allowing them to share it with other fans of the products.
From surfers riding through barreled waves to skydivers leaping out of airplanes to
snowboarders performing insane leaps and bounds, GoPro does it ALL.
Social Media Strategy // Standpoint
Give the viewers something they can not only be inspired by, but can strive to capture themselves within their own lives
through user-generated content. This allows the company to develop a new standpoint on their content themselves.
Usage of social media is KEY to GoPro’s success, because of their implementation of graphics such as videos and pictures
for influence on their events // stunts.
