However, instead of promoting their actual energy drinks, the focus of these posts is more on promoting their brand name. According to their main Facebook page, Monster Energy does appear to be using the 50/50 rule because some of the content discusses their sponsorships and some are just clip previews of events to keep the viewers engaged. Monster Energy’s most successful recent post was their “#UnleashTheBeast!” post with 60K Likes, 209 Comments, and 1.2K Shares.
