Video is the #1 form of media in content strategy, overtaking blogs and infographics.

Just like you’re watching this one right now, videos are vital to staying modern in the digital age and keeping customers engaged, because it makes it easier for them to digest and understand, and allows customers to get to know you on a personal level.
