Although personalization across all forms of content is important, the type of content you’re generating remains an important aspect of your digital marketing strategy.

Another popular form of emerging content is Video. With live video, stories, and Instagram TV, more and more businesses are using video as a digital marketing tool. Some marketers are going above and beyond and creating personalized video messaging as opposed to email or phone calls, which may prove to be a promising new way to engage customers.
