Advertisers thrive on access to clear, actionable data. For example, Google provides advertisers with a treasure trove of metrics and analytics that allow them to determine who’s seeing their ads and why; this information, in turn, can lead to more informed budgeting, targeting, messaging, and beyond.

Video marketing has become so ubiquitous, few advertisers or business owners would question its merits. Instead, a new question has emerged: Where’s the best place to put all this video content? With so many channels available, business owners naturally want to identify the best avenue for investment.
