Video is taking over the internet.

There’s no other way to put it, really. Every day, over 4 billion videos are watched on Facebook. Every month, over 6 billion hours of video are watched on YouTube. And by 2018, Cisco predicts that video will account for 80% of all web traffic.

Wait, you already knew that, didn’t you? As a marketer, I’d bet that you’re already using video. After all, 90% of marketers are using video content as part of their tool kit.

But even though video has climbed to the top of the podium in the race of marketing mediums, there’s still a large shortage of data on best practices or benchmarks that marketers using video can compare themselves to. At Vidyard, we realized that. That’s why we spent hundreds of hours analyzing nearly 250,000 videos and more than 600 million video streams from 500 businesses.

Check out the top 16 findings from that report to find out how marketers are really using video (and if you want to see the full report, you can dive in here).
