The researchers asked executives, “In the past 12 months which of the following forms of content have you found most helpful for a business related matter? The top three choices of executives were articles (71%), research reports (51%) and briefing papers (27%).
Interestingly, although video was popular, executives still overwhelmingly (85%) preferred text as the medium for content to help them make informed business decisions. Use these data preferences when communicating at an executive level to generate the results you are seeking.
