The visual web is many things to many people—and marketers. According to September 2015 polling, most US brand marketers can’t put just one definition to the term: It includes design, advertising and even anthropological phenomena. What is clear is that it’s important.
Custom video and photography were the top types of visual content that respondents planned to integrate into marketing programs over the next six months to one year.
