Without a doubt, all indicators are pointing to 2011 as being the year that online video reaches a full tipping point.
Web video marketing content is being viewed via mobile appliances, tablets and through social networking sites.
It is becoming clear that organizations without video content are missing opportunities to connect with audiences.
Marketers are incorporating online video into their direct communications efforts because it is an effective way to engage an audience.
A study recently published by Ad-ology Research found that 45.5% of small businesses plan to increase their use of online video in 2011 - a 28% increase over 2010.
According to MarketingSherpa, 62% of B2B marketers incorporate online video content into their social media campaigns
The reason for web video marketer's dominance on 2011 marketing forecasts can be best summarized by Ragan.com:'
Companies and consumers increasingly will rely on video to provide information and behavioral cues that are not otherwise present in texts, tweets and statusupdates, making video a critical component of the public perception of brands.
