WHY VIDEO IS THE FUTURE OF CONTENT Great Guest Post By Els Van De Veire Big research simply shows us that video is at the core of all future content marketing. A recent study estimates that video will eventually account for as much as 80% of all consumer internet traffic. Amazing, but why is video so popular? (1) Video Reaches Lots Of People Online video has become the prime format for users, to get informed. So if you think about your marketing, it’s key to fully embrace video, to engage with your audience.

Why would that be surprising? Look at how long it took TV to take over households back in the 1950’s when radio was the major medium for most households. I believe TV gained 50% adoption five years less time than radio did. Video today is getting a massive lift due in part that Social Media is allowing video to be part of postings. Many who are in the video business have been watching this bubble grow larger each and every year and some people say that video will take over the internet in the next five years or less. It helps that bandwidth speeds have gone up and providers are allowing the bandwidth to go through cable but also through the air using many mobile devices that are in the market today. Virtual Reality (VR) The future is here - users can now be in a room at their home or office and be able to place an object lets say a motorcycle and be able to rotate and actually manipulate the object in anyway the user decides.
