Red Bull seems have critically examined the pros & cons of each social platform they are using & also the type of audience they are having on each social channel. They know what to post, when to post & for whom to post and how to make successful posts and which post is suitable for which platform & on what time.

While writing this blog, I got 2 tweets of Red Bull on Twitter but there was no update on the Facebook Page by last 7 hours. Also, the posts on each social channel are not the same. But their posts on Instagram seems more engagement than any other social channel.
