These figures correlate closely with the experience of Wooshii.com, a network of thousands of the world&rsquo;s top video makers and animators.</p> <p>In the last six months, the average spend on video projects on Wooshii has risen by more than 60 percent.</p> <p>&ldquo;Budgets have been increasing quite dramatically this year and they are likely to continue growing in 2012,&rdquo; says Wooshii CEO, Fergus Dyer-Smith. &ldquo;Businesses are now looking to spend serious amounts of money on online video. Everyone is buying into the fact that online video advertising is a very cost-effective way of spreading a brand message.&rdquo;</p> <p>The survey found that brands are diverting funds away from print advertising and broadcast TV advertising in order to focus on online video.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18257" width="1" height="1">online videoadap.tvdigidayweb videowooshii
