Why we care:
Customers are more responsive to video marketing than text, whichever channel it lives on. That poses a content creation challenge for marketers that has led to new tactics and technologies that make that easier and faster for creative teams. However, that has led to a quality chasm. On one end you have between premium video and at the other user-generated content. That makes the experiences generated on this channel incredibly diverse. Another challenge? The reliability of video metrics is still an ongoing debate.
