When you also consider the millions watching catch-up TV and the 2 billion videos watched daily on YouTube, it’s no secret that online video is hot.

Concerned about your social media marketing results in 2011?

B2B marketers are increasingly using social media to connect with their customers, but a lot of the time they are not using those tools effectively.

One report found that only 32% of B2B companies engage with their customers on a daily basis via social media. Another discovered that 46% of B2B marketers thought social media was irrelevant. And another found that 60% of B2B firms have no staff dedicated to social media and just 10% of B2B firms use outside agencies or consultants.
While the vast majority (86%) of B2B companies use social media for marketing, it’s clear there’s considerable room for improvement. http://on.mash.to/bEwUQx
While all these figures come from the US - they do provide important / vital pointers to future B2B business growth outside of America.
