Top 10 Video Creators Across YouTube, Facebook, Vine & Instagram: BuzzFeed Takes The Cake

BuzzFeed was the undisputed leader in online video content last month, with two of its content divisions — BuzzFeed Video and BuzzFeed Food — earning spots on ReelSEO’s top ten list of video creators in June.

Using video analytics from its parent company Tubular Labs, for June 2015, the video marketing guide ranked last month’s top ten most watched video creators across the big four social networks — YouTube, Facebook, Vine and Instagram.

Focusing on brands that created mostly original content, ReelSEO reports that BuzzFeed’s combined video views — from both its BuzzFeed Video content and BuzzFeed Food content — reached an astounding 1.226 billion in June.

At 835 million views, BuzzFeed Video took the No. 1 spot with nearly double the number of views as the No. 2 video creator, Taylor Swift, whose TaylorSwiftVevo videos earned 433 million views. BuzzFeed Food ranked No. 4 with 391 million views and 1.4 million new followers.

Swift and the NBA, which ranked No. 3, tied for new followers, both winning 2.6 million new fans across the four social networks.

Other video creators to make the list included the the WWE at No. 5 and YouTube personality PewDiePie at No. 10.
