Video continues to be one of the most effective forms of content for
enhancing brand awareness and engaging audiences. Not only are
successful companies more likely to incorporate video into their content
mix but companies using video are more effective in content marketing
and report better performance (Aberdeen Group). According to eMarketer,
76% of businesses plan to add video to their web sites, making it a
higher priority than social media integration and 51.9% of marketing
professionals worldwide agree video provides the highest ROI of any
content. Additionally, Adobe Digital found that 61% of businesses
say online video is the top converter for sales.
“We take great pride in developing strategic relationships with partners
who are best in class,” stated Mark Dobson, CEO of WSI. “For the past 20
years, we have been a trusted source of marketing intelligence, trends
and market strategy for companies that recognize how critical it is to
stay ahead of your competition in a very crowded online marketplace.
We’re excited to have SoMedia Networks join our eMarketplace and provide
our consultants with leading edge video production and marketing
solutions that will help them to continue to build long-term
relationships with their clients."
