In the first of our weekly infographic series, we look at the value of video and YouTube for marketing
As marketers increasingly search for ways to cut through the content noise and offer consumers a rich digital experience, video becomes an ever-more appealing medium. According to an eMarketer report, US marketers alone are expected to spend US$4.14bn on video this year and more than $8bn by 2016.
A new infographic from advertising agency, MDG, takes a look at the power of online video goliath, YouTube, and some of the key indicators of its power and might for marketing.
For example the platform, which attracts 1 billion unique users each month, has delivered an average of 884,000 monthly views and 35,000 subscribers to the top 500 brands using the site.
In one example, the infographic looks at the success of the Old Spice ‘The man your man could small like’ video advertising campaign, which spawned an 800 per cent leap in Facebook interaction and a 107 per cent rise in sales.

The third and final episode CMO’s 3-part video series on how CMO50 luminaries are achieving greater marketing agility is now live!
I always enjoy those oft-forgotten, in-between moments in any experience. These moments are not necessarily part of any defined experience per se. They likely wouldn’t show up in an organisation’s plans or ideas to help make the customer journey or user flow as simple, easy and seamless as possible.
There’s been a lot of buzz in the advertising industry lately about what’s coined the ‘attention economy’. And it’s fast becoming the new battleground for media channels to prove their wares and to develop and espouse new attention metrics.
Exceptional CMOs do exceptional things for themselves and for those they inspire. At your best you are creative, innovative and inspirational. We have a problem though. We now live in a corporate world that demands sensibility where everything you do is measurable and stakeholders demand predictability – the antithesis of breakthrough and transformation.
