Video content is critical to B2B success in 2017

Almost every marketing prognosticator believes- including our own (Inbound2016) — that video will be a key driver of lead generation and conversion success in 2017.

There's a reason Twitter, Facebook, SnapChat, Instagram and others have joined video content behemoth YouTube as distributers of video content: It's where consumers live and engage, every day. 

Just a short time ago, small to mid-size businesses that had strong video marketing strategies were seen as leading edge. In 2017, however, the game has changed: video is no longer a "nice to have" but a "must have." 

Here's why, thanks to some statistics provided by HubSpot via HighQ:

• In 2017 it's expected that online video will represent 74% of all web traffic
• 75% of business executives watch work-related video every day
• 59% of executives say they prefer video content over text only content
• 54% of executives share video content with colleagues every week
• 96% of B2B businesses plan to implement video content strategies in 2017
