Hello everyone! We've analyzed more than 9 million video posts from a total of 92k business pages and here's a sweet taste of what's inside of this study πŸ‘‡ πŸ“Œ Vertical videos outperform landscape videos in engagement for all page sizes. πŸ“Œ Facebook video hasn't reached its saturation point. Video marketing appears steadily on the rise, increasing by two percent from 2017 to 2018, and showing no signs of slowing down in 2019. πŸ“Œ The optimal video length for better engagement across all pages sizes is between 2 and 5 minutes for uploaded videos. πŸ“Œ Only 11% of brands go live. 😲 πŸ“Œ 300-word video description has the highest average number of interactions. You can find the full research here: https://www.socialinsider.io/blo... The Facebook data were analyzed based on two verticals - page size and page category. Mari Smith & @lilachbullock already endorsed us for this study, and @dennisyu was our mentor on insights. Hope you'll find these insights valuable for your business and love to hear your feedback πŸ™Œ

I see "FREE" - I feel spam. Why did you go with this title?
Adina Jipa
@aazar_ali_shad Good point! Updated the title. I intended to emphasize that you can access the data for free, no email required.

loved the insights on verticals videos, video length, and the Facebook live streaming usage which is super interesting. So many people watch, very few actually do live streaming
Adina Jipa
@anca_sandu1 Indeed. Even if ive-streaming sparks more audience engagement, only 11% of brands are going live 😯 Thanks for reading this study πŸ™Œ
