Interestingly, video may lead the way in terms of content as time goes on, according to the report. When asked what type of content they will likely use more over the next 12 months, 69.3% of marketers cited short-form videos. This was followed by editorial-style content (57.9%) and social media posts (55.7%).

Video Marketing Budgets May Increase in 2020

This is not the first research to suggest that video may become more mainstream among content marketers.

About 20% of organizations state that they might increase this budget by more than 10% in the New Year.

Facebook leads the way in terms of platforms that marketers use to post video content, with 90% saying they run video campaigns via this channel.
