From my conversations with organizational leaders, I have found that there is too much focus on one video, rather than a video strategy. You can see how much video dominates YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. According to a 2013 ComScore study , 83% of 12-17 year olds and 91% of 18-24 year olds are watching online video on a regular basis.
