More than ever, videos account for 80% of all traffic by 2019 by 2020.Recorded videos, live broadcasts, and 360-degree videos. Whatever the format, the more interactive the better. Internet users get bored very easily, and businesses need to use videos to stay focused and engaging.

Audio Content

There are few companies that are in the podcasts, but the ones that are, are on the right track. Audio content tends to grow significantly in 2019 and 2020.And this will happen because people are busier, they have less and less time to read articles and books.
