We all know that online video is huge. In fact, it will soon account for 90 percent of all Internet traffic, according to industry projections.

Smallman: “It’s a matter of simply applying existing tools to understand your Web properties as a digital hub for all of this content — a center of the conversation you’re having with your customer.”

So when you invest into this form of content marketing, how do you know whether on not you’re getting results — results that benefit your bottom line? Yes, video boosts the “wow” factor of a marketing strategy. But does it deliver ROI? If so, how do you measure it?
