Why?
By
2017,
video
will
account
for
69%
of
all
consumer
internet
traffic,
according
to
Cisco.
Video-‐on-‐demand
traffic
alone
will
have
almost
trebled.
Nielsen
claims
64%
of
marketers
expect
video
to
dominate
their
strategies
in
the
near
future.
It's
not
difficult
to
see
why.
YouTube
receives
more
than
one
billion
unique
visitors
every
month
–
that's
more
than
any
other
channel,
apart
from
Facebook.
If
a
picture
paints
1,000
words
then
one
minute
of
video
is
worth
1.8
million.

a
beast,
be

feed
it
• Measure

results
• People
should
be
at
the
center
of
everything
we
do
