YouTube revolutionised the video landscape from the very beginning back in 2005. Since then, the platform has become the second most popular website after Google, with an average of 400 hours’ worth of content uploaded every minute and over 1 billion hours of video watched per day (brandwatch).

Here at Ilex, we believe video should be an important part of any content strategy. It allows for Tech and Telecom companies to convey their complex message in a digestible way for the consumer. Therefore, make sure you catch this Keynote at ITW and find out how video will be transformed in the future.

 

Video is predicted to account for more than 84% of global web traffic by 2020 (Cisco).
