It’s this time of the year when businesses, both small and large, evaluate the video marketing strategies and practices that they have implemented in the first half of the year.

These companies need to determine what worked and what didn’t to identify which practices they would continue in the coming year. Considering the fact that establishing production timelines and budgets (especially for video marketing!) is time-consuming, you should start the planning process as early as now.

But if you and the key players in your company are not yet sold on the power of video marketing and how it can benefit you this yet or you are wondering about the best type of video production to implement for 2023, you may want to take a look at some of the most compelling video production statistics that are currently out there.
