Michael Stelzner, Founder of Social Media Examiner, joins Social Pros to talk about the 2020 Social Media Marketing Industry Report and why video may be the only viable place to innovate in social media.
Are you innovative on social media? 
Video is one of the most effective ways to pull people into your content. If you’re not already incorporating video in your social media marketing, you risk missing out on opportunities for real growth, engagement, and innovation.
Michael Stelzner, the Founder of Social Media Examiner, started with a blog, which quickly became one of the most popular blogs about social media in the world. Since then, Mike and his team have pivoted toward video and for good reason. Video is where innovations are happening on social and Mike went as far as claiming that video is the only area where we’re seeing a lot of innovation on social media.
We dive into all of this further on this episode of Social pros, where we take a look at some key findings from Social Media Examiner’s 2020 Social Media Marketing Industry Report, which surveyed more than 5,200 marketers about how they use social media.
