Which brands are successfully sponsoring family channels on YouTube? 

Over the last few years, more and more families have opted to share their lives online via YouTube and it hasn't gone unnoticed by brands. There are a large numer of brands interested in sponsoring family channels. As mentioned earlier, this type of content is loved by viewers around the world, which allows brands to attract new, relevant and targeted audiences. The most common brands we see regularly sponsoring family channels on YouTube include, HelloFresh, Skillshare, Magic Spoon, Modern Fertility, Fetch Rewards, KiwiCo, and Best Fiends.

For example, Best Fiends, a free match-3-puzzle game that also features in-app purchases, has a history of sponsoring family-based channels. The brand has sponsored The ACE Family 3 different times and racked up over 18 million views on their videos! One of the reasons why this partnership worked so well could be because the app is appropriate for all ages, meaning that the children and the parents could enjoy the game. 

Another successful brand collaboration was Ellie and Jared’s recurring sponsorship with HelloFresh. HelloFresh is a food subscription service that sends you the right amount of ingredients and the easiest recipe to follow right to your door. This subscription service is great for parents that feel like they don’t have enough hours in the day to also go grocery shopping and plan out meals, which might be Ellie and Jared’s channel lines up so well with HelloFresh. HelloFresh has sponsored Ellie and Jared over 10 times, gaining over 1.8 million views.
