Understanding Wendy's and A&Ws Youtube Channels

Wendy’s:

Joined Youtube: Oct 29, 2005
Posting Frequency: 2-3 Videos a month
Wendy’s posts frequently with a high level of production value addressing their main focus on social media “NEW” “REDESIGNED” products. Furthermore, they host community building videos such as DIY projects to facilitate a regular viewing audience. This helps the channel stay contemporary.
They have THREE recent videos addressing their redesigned chicken sandwich with the leader topping 2.7 Million views! This is a very successful video because it follows the short and sweet rule or posting. Informative, visually appealing and short. Reusing main information points on other social media platforms while presenting it in short and to the point way. 

A&W:

Joined Youtube: Aug 26, 2013
Posting Frequency: 2 videos in the past month… 8 Videos TOTAL ever posted.
When A&W does post, they use recognizable videos hosts, and community centric talk. Out of the eight videos they have posted, their top post has hit 33k Views. This is dismal for a YouTube account of a major player in the Canadian fast food industry. They do focus on the main selling point; being all Canadian. However, they just don’t have the amount of content needed to facilitate a true channel following.  They do represent they’re audience well posting in both French and English languages. Keywords such as 100% Canadian, and all Canadian products are within the videos but are not presented effectively when comparing to Wendy’s.
Their most popular recent post was their Burgers to beet MS day video, in which they announce a dollar from every teen burger will go toward beating MS. This was not a success yet was still the most popular, with only 2700 views.

Wendy’s wins this comparison quite easily; A&W fails to bring a high level of production quality into their videos like Wendy’s. Also the severe difference in number of comments of the two leading videos speaks volumes : (A&W: 3, Wendy’s: 15).
