Online video has grown into an easily shareable way for organisations to spread key messages to their target audience. It is also increasingly being used as a marketing channel in lead generation.

The use of video enables business-to-business marketers to reach wider audiences to encourage community integration, interaction and to start dialogue between them and their target audience. Marketers can use video as a platform to connect with their audience and to start gathering ideas.

It's important that marketers prepare a programme of activity - carefully considering video strategy; constructing useful content and use of budget. Deciding where to place video on the company website is very important, as is targeting time-poor business buyers and creating a campaign with reach.

Comparing video against industry benchmarks also plays a significant role in measuring its success.
