In the US over the last year, time spent viewing online video increased a whopping 47 percent, from 9.8 hours/month to 14.4 hours/month according to comScore data. The audience for online video continues to grow as more content becomes available and viewers make a habit of consuming more across all their devices.

So how can your company or organization take advantage of that increasing audience attention? At Brightcove we believe that video can work for any business with any message, no matter where you fall on the spectrum. Here's how:

  • Every Industry. There are so many use cases for video for every industry and company, whether you are a media company with libraries full of video content, or your company aims to market with product demonstrations, instructional videos, or customer testimonials. Web video is not just for playback of traditional broadcast content—it is becoming a natural part of any marketing or commerce experience on the web.
