From zero to 10,000 subscribers: building a global video hub for automotive standards.
IAOB, a global authority overseeing IATF 16949 certification, had the expertise but not the digital presence. Their YouTube channel sat empty—no subscribers, no strategy, and no way to connect with the global automotive community. Complex topics like auditor guidance and compliance updates needed to be transformed into accessible, engaging content. IAOB also sought to generate leads beyond traditional offline events.
We built a scalable video marketing strategy in three stages:
The transformation was dramatic: IAOB’s channel grew from zero to 10,000 subscribers and became a trusted source for the automotive supply chain. The channel achieved 4M+ impressions and 500K+ views, boosting visibility and credibility. Lead generation improved significantly, with more sign-ups for training and stronger auditor engagement. IAOB is now recognized as a digital thought leader in automotive standards.
We partnered with REAS Group due to their impressive track record with other standards and corporate organisations. Together, we’ve produced 100+ videos in 12 languages, shot worldwide. REAS Group supported us from our first subscriber to nearly 10k today. With their help our channel continues to grow every month. Partnering with them was one of the best decisions we made to promote the work of the IAOB & SMMT YouTube Channel.
