What’s an answer? Jennifer Griffin Smith the CMO at video communications platform Brightcove stated in her presentation at INBOUND 2022 that pondering as a media firm we will extra successfully join with clients.

We’ve all heard “content material is king”, however with 4.6 billion items of content material consumed every day (eMarketer), there’s merely an excessive amount of content material.
Conventional advertising measurement follows a mannequin of:

The brand new media firm centric advertising measurement mannequin focuses on:

Why? As a result of what labored prior to now, merely isn’t working at this time. The digital panorama & the way in which folks
eat content material has modified. We have to look to the long run, particularly future consumers. Individuals 18-25 years previous are spending a mean of 10.5 hours per week on TikTok and 6.9 hours per week on YouTube. (eMarketer) Manufacturers should be the place their clients are.

Clearly corporations are at numerous phases of their adoption of video and video platforms.
