We love statistics (literally). Our entire existence now seems to be centered on precise measurement and data-driven results. And why not? After all, we would be foolish not to look at what stats are telling us, how they are informing us, making better decisions based on them. So along those lines we thought we would start a blog post where we could research a specific (industry relevant of course) topic, and offer up a few power stats. Or something to simply chew on for a few moments in your day.
The topic this month, VIDEO (because we really love video). More specifically Social Media Video… and the tidal wave that is coming with it. Here are a few current stats that might interest you on this particular subject.
Enjoy!
