Santam’s YouTube channel, which was established in July 2013, has officially grabbed the attention of over 1 million users.
This channel is the only one of its kind in the South African insurance industry and boasts up-to-date content about better risk management in and around the home, on the road and for small businesses.
According to Wesley Cloete, Digital Marketing manager, the consumption of video content has increased significantly both locally and internationally.
"YouTube is one of the fastest growing social media platforms in South Africa with 40% year on year growth in its local user base this year taking it to more than 7 million users.
"Santam is the first short-term insurer in South Africa to reach a million views and also the only insurer currently leveraging the unique capability of YouTube’s platform with the introduction of our interactive home explorer video," says Wesley.
