The Video Trend
People are watching more and more videos and that’s not a trend that’s going to change soon. Video is forecast to make up a staggering 80% of all internet traffic expected to be video by 2020 (according to a study by Cisco). Moreover, some 73% of B2B marketers say video positively impacts marketing return on investment (MarketingProfs).
