- Tweets with video generate 9X more engagement than basic text updates
- Video content on Instagram generates the most engagement, in terms of both comments and Likes.
- Pinterest says that users are 2.6x more likely to make a purchase after viewing brand video content on the site
- LinkedIn users 20x more likely to share a video on the platform than any other type of post
