“What we’ve seen specifically with brands is that they’ve done really well in being able to use the medium of video, and it’s one of the mediums that’s inherently social,” said Hamilton.

“I remember when I was at the F8 conference, Zuckerburg was talking about the different mediums that are very easily sharable. First, obviously, is photos, and that’s why they bought Instagram. But then you look at music, which is inherently something that’s social, and then video, where you sort of look to your friends to see what’s trending, what’s interesting, what’s out there, and what you’re going to share.”

Businesses stand to gain a lot through video, especially as a promotional tool:

“I think it’s a great way for corporations to be able to — at the top of the funnel — grab awareness,” said Hamilton.
