Internet users have only an eight-second attention span, shorter than that of a goldfish. The average user wants quick results and instant gratification, which is why videos might be the most snackable content type of this year.

According to 51.9% of marketers around the world, video is the content type that gives them the best ROI—making 73% of marketers claim that they plan to use more videos for their business. How so?
