Here’s an infographic chock full of video marketing statistics you can use to argue your need for a bigger video marketing budget. Candidly, I’m not a big fan of infographics. Too many cite numbers that are unverifiable (like the 7-second attention span of a goldfish), or questionable sources (like other infographics).
But this one, from digital healthcare agency Omnicore appears to be responsibly sourced for the most part. (Though I don’t recommend telling your boss that “a website with a video is 53 times more likely to end up on Google’s front page. If only! While it’s true that Forrester reported this — in 2008. They’ve long-since disclaimed it.)
