Coca Cola started sports sponsorships in by being the first ever sponsor of that year's Olympic Games in Amsterdam. Coca Cola's sponsorship in sports, as well as its unique advertising campaigns around the world in which the ad that is shown in America is shown ubiquitously, has made it a brand found virtually everywhere.
From what I've seen, the fact that they've stuck to a certain niche—extreme sports—has given the Red Bull brand a greater association with the interesting and exciting side of things. And this is something that young people tend to gravitate toward.
Those people, the extreme athletes, are not well known, and thus the average person can relate to them more so than a big sports star. Many will argue that they are the main sponsors of soccer and hockey teams in both the US and Austria, but these appear to be smaller and rather isolated.
Another aspect is the culture from which Red Bull originates. The energy drink only hit the shelves in Austrian supermarkets in , yet in barely two decades Red Bull has become a major player in the upper echelons of global sports beyond mere sponsorship.
They first hit on the idea of sports sponsorship as a marketing exercise during the s. Initially, much of their activities were focused on the extreme sports sector, from cliff diving to BMXing, skiing, flying and skateboarding. Notably, they were an early sponsor of Atlanta single scull gold medalist Xeno Muller, of Switzerland, but were a long way from impacting on mainstream sports.

Founder Dietrich Mateschitz has also indulged his love of aircraft, partnering with pilot Sigi Angerer to build a fleet of planes in the s before the network was officially incorporated as the Flying Bulls in who now perform acrobatic aeronautical displays across the world.
Many aircraft and vehicles are now housed at Hangar 7 in Salzburg. There has, naturally, been pushback from the sporting world about the speed at which Red Bull has become a serious operator. While this is still fundamentally a branding exercise for a caffeinated drink, the scale and ambition of their goals has never been seen before in sports.
The football teams they own and sponsor - specifically the major three of New York Red Bulls, RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg - have all been heavily criticised and targeted for protests over their commercialisation. They have, however, achieved success. Both Salzburg, in Austria, and Leipzig, who climbed from the fifth division to the Bundesliga in Germany, are now Champions League regulars and have produced a string of world-class footballers such as Sadio Mane and Naby Keita.
David Rettenbacher, co-founder of phoenix club SV Austria Salzburg felt the original ethos had been stripped away completely when the initial purchase was completed in Rettenbacher said: "At the beginning, we were pretty happy.
