2018 State of Social Video: Consumer Trends [Infographic]

Video has become a must-have for marketers. According to our 2018 State of Social Video Marketer Trends report, which was also released today, 93% of businesses say they’ve gotten a new customer thanks to a video on social media. But we also wanted to know how consumers are interacting with video and brands on social media. We surveyed 1,017 to find out.

• 73% of consumers have been impacted by a brand’s social media presence when making a purchase decision.
