But what will be the most challenging obstacles to video marketing success in the year ahead and how will B2B marketers overcome them?

Have not used video but we are planning to 69% B2B Video Marketing Benchmark Survey, Demand Metric and Ascend2, June 2014, n=118 4 Organizations that have not used video for marketing and are not planning to were disqualified from participating in the remainder of the survey. VIDEO MARKETING OBJECTIVES Figure 2: Most Important Video Marketing Objectives for the Upcoming Year The most important objectives for B2B video marketing strategies range from the easily measureable (lead generation) to the less discernible (brand awareness). Most Important Video Marketing Objectives 52% Increase brand awareness 42% Increase online engagement 37% Improve customer education 26% Increase website traffic Increase direct sales 0% Although brand awareness is not easily measured, more than half of respondents (52%) found this objective to be the most important for the upcoming year. Not surprisingly, increasing lead generation and online engagement followed closely behind the leading response. 35% Improve lead nurturing Increase conversion rate 19% 15% 20% 40% B2B Video Marketing Benchmark Survey, Demand Metric and Ascend2, June 2014, n=118 5 Survey participants were asked to choose all of the objectives that applied to their organization. The data from these responses is displayed in Figure 2. 45% Increase lead generation 60% Interestingly, the objectives for increasing conversion rates and direct sales were chosen the least for this survey question. However, one can infer that, by way of the other objectives on this list, video marketing initiatives will eventually produce more conversions and generate more revenue for the organization. CURRENT VIDEO MARKETING SUCCESS Figure 3: Self-Assessment Ratings of Current Video Marketing Success Current Video Marketing Success Ratings Very successful 15% 18% Participants were asked to rate their current video marketing success. Figure 3 highlights the results of this survey question. Presently, 15% of survey participants consider video marketing “Very successful” at achieving important objectives. Another 67% rated video marketing a less enthusiastic, but supportive “somewhat successful”. Somewhat successful Not successful 67% B2B Video Marketing Benchmark Survey, Demand Metric and Ascend2, June 2014, n=118 6 Overall, 82% of participants are experiencing some sort of success with current video marketing initiatives. This is an extremely high majority, proving that video marketing has the capacity to improve marketing strategy and campaigns. OBSTACLES TO VIDEO MARKETING SUCCESS Figure 4: Most Challenging Obstacles to Video Marketing Success As video marketing becomes more imperative to implement, organizations must consider the risks associated with program planning, strategy and system implementation. Obstacles to Video Marketing Success 47% Lack of budget for video Lack of in-house resources 45% Creating compelling content 45% 33% Lack of effective strategy 27% Attributing a ROI to video Distributing video content 0% Nearly half of study participants replied that three obstacles – the lack of budget, resources and compelling content – are almost equally challenging to achieving video marketing success. 26% Producing studio-quality video Lack of management buy-in 12% 11% 10% 20% 30% 40% B2B Video Marketing Benchmark Survey, Demand Metric and Ascend2, June 2014, n=118 7 Participants were asked to rank the most challenging obstacles they may face in their journey to video marketing success. The data from these responses is presented in Figure 4. 50% Again, as the need for video content increases, these barriers are becoming less and less challenging. Products/services for video marketing are becoming more affordable. Likewise, organizations are finding that there is a necessity for dedicated video marketing professionals on their payroll. VIDEO MARKETING BUDGET Figure 5: Video Marketing Budget Changes in the Upcoming Year Changes in Video Marketing Budget 5% Significant increase Insignificant increase Responses were collected and are displayed in Figure 5. 31% 32% Remain the same Decrease spending Since lack of budget was ranked as one of the biggest obstacles to video marketing success, participants were asked how their video marketing budgets will be changing over the next 12-18 months. 32% For 63% of participating B2B organizations, video marketing spending is on the rise, either slightly or significantly. Another third (32%) responded that their budget for video marketing will remain the same for the upcoming year. Only 5% of organizations are planning to decrease spending in the year ahead. From this data, we can conclude that a lack of budget will become less of an obstacle for the large portion of the organizations that participated in this study. B2B Video Marketing Benchmark Survey, Demand Metric and Ascend2, June 2014, n=118 8 USAGE OF CHANNELS FOR VIDEO DISTRIBUTION Figure 6: Online Channels Used for Video Distribution Participants were asked to choose all channels from the given options that they utilize to distribute video content. The results are presented in Figure 6. Online Channels Used for Video Distribution 81% Company or brand website 66% Email or enewsletters 49% Social networks e.g. Facebook Campaign landing pages 43% Professional networks e.g. LinkedIn 42% Company or brand blogs Microblogs e.g. Twitter 0% Following close behind company websites, video sharing websites, such as YouTube and Vimeo, were chosen as the second most used channel for distribution. Unfortunately, only the most compelling and universally understood videos become viral. 34% 29% 50% B2B Video Marketing Benchmark Survey, Demand Metric and Ascend2, June 2014, n=118 9 Expectedly, a great deal of respondents (81%) ranked their own company/brand website as the most used channel for distribution. 73% Video sharing sites e.g. Youtube 100% Since the vast majority of videos produced for B2B marketing purposes are more informative than compelling, B2B organization should consider relying more heavily on outbound channels, such as email marketing campaigns and e-newsletters to reach prospects and customers. CHANNEL EFFECTIVENESS FOR VIDEOS Figure 7: Most Effective Channels for Video Distribution Study participants were asked to rank video distribution channels on their perceived levels of effectiveness. Most Effective Channels for Video Distribution 26% Video sharing sites e.g. Youtube 22% Company or brand website 9% Campaign landing pages Microblogs e.g. Twitter 0% Company/brand websites and email/e-newsletters were also considered to be fairly effective distribution channels. 8% Social networks e.g. Facebook Professional networks e.g. LinkedIn 7% All other response options were rated relatively low in terms of effectiveness. 5% 2% 10% 20% B2B Video Marketing Benchmark Survey, Demand Metric and Ascend2, June 2014, n=118 10 Video sharing sites like Youtube and Vimeo are considered the most effective channel for the distribution of B2B videos. 21% Email or enewsletters Company or brand blogs Figure 7 illustrates the responses given. 30% As mentioned, B2B marketing videos rarely go viral, as such such, marketers should be encouraged to consider other alternatives for distributing video content.
