Over half (54%) said they often view videos sent to them by friends and family, while 47 percent said they like sharing online video with others.
"The online video viewing experience puts the viewer in the driver's seat, allowing the user to decide not only what they see and when, but also enabling them to easily share content with others with the click of a mouse," added Klein.
"For marketers, targeting and segmentation can play a critical role in ensuring video advertisements are equally engaging as the content consumers are viewing. This gives marketers the opportunity to build compelling and viral brand experiences."
When it comes to online video ads 78 percent of respondents said that online video ads provide as good of a chance to learn about an advertiser as TV. Sixty-four percent said they had taken some action after seeing an online video ad, including visiting a company's Web site (44%), searching for more information about a product or service (33%), going to a bricks & mortar store to look at a product (22%), or talking to friends/family about the product (21%).
"These statistics have a compelling message for marketers: just by leveraging the online video medium for communicating a message, your company's brand benefits," notes Klein from TNS.
