Influencer boosts are accelerating social video spend

Digiday

Brand spending on social video is growing, with a significant factor being the amplification of influencer video content on platforms. This practice contributes to accelerated social video spending.

Key Takeaways

  • Brand spending on social video is accelerating rapidly, according to the article.
  • Influencer video content is being amplified on platforms, adding to social video spending.
  • No companies, products, or individual executives are named in the report.
  • The piece presents the trend as an industry-level spending pattern, not a one-off campaign story.
