  Rolex wanted to know everything it could about social marketing and engagement data before it enter.The brand knew it would not diminish its legacy or lose its loyal support because of by staying away from social media at first. Nowadays, Rolex carefully selected its approach, starting with a YouTube  launch in 2012. When it introduced its branded YouTube channel, Rolex was wise not to fill the page with product ads, which consumers generally dislike. Instead, Rolex used the platform to launch in-house documentaries about topics that matter to the brand and its devotees, like Himalayan expeditions and deep-sea missions to investigate the polar ice caps. "Our communication on social media enables a better understanding of the brand, its universe, and its values," Rolex tells Mashable.
