Video Marketing Statistics

Nowadays, the play button is becoming “the most compelling call-to-action on the Web,” according to Andrew Angus, Founder and CEO of Switch Video.

From a marketing perspective, online video packs a potent one-two punch: it is consumed voraciously by mobile users while shining through as one of the best media platforms to track the success (i.e., your ROI) of your marketing campaigns. Andrew Follett, Founder and CEO of Video Brewery, says that “detailed video analytics will tell you who’s watching your video, how long they stay engaged and exactly where they click away. Armed with that information, you can sharpen your message and target it more precisely.”

Online video—and online video analytics—are valuable tools to help you inform consumers, strengthen your connections with them, and learn what parts of your marketing plan is working and what sections need a little shoring up. With this in mind, here is a list of good-to-know statistics reflecting the popularity of online video.
