Video Marketing

Though only one of the many content types marketing departments might invest in, video is a pretty major one. By 2021, it’s expected that 82 percent of all internet traffic will run through the medium, according to Cisco Systems, with volume expected to rise even more after that. And regardless of the type of video being consumed, there’s no denying that it remains the preferred way for audiences to consume content.

If that’s the case, it’s incumbent upon marketers to understand how to create and distribute compelling video. Marketing Nice Guys will walk you through the core aspects of video marketing from strategy and development to distribution and optimization, including:

• Video marketing examples from top companies
• Website and YouTube distribution strategies, including how-tos on creating, managing, and maintaining a presence
