Visual Storytelling

Visual storytelling is super important, super useful, and often neglected in marketing strategies. Visual storytelling in other words is saying a lot through visuals, graphics, images, visual content and even animations infographics.

Marketers often use visual storytelling to keep engagement levels at premium levels and work on the optimization of marketing or sales funnels.

Photographs, visuals, maps, and data… These are tools used in effective visual storytelling. MIT researchers state that the human brain is capable of processing an image in 13 milliseconds.

Visuals (in videos too) grab the attention of the reader, increases readability, and creates a connection right away. So, users become more open to navigate to a different link/page or product detail. The application of visual storytelling can be found in the whole landscape of marketing activities.

Being clear, consistent, and aligned with your brand

As a business, you should first know the mediums that your audience is present at, the resources they use, understand their expectations and what is important for them.

Then carry out extensive market research and based on that data received you can then build on your marketing strategy and set of marketing activities.

You need to find which social media platform, content strategy, and marketing tools work best for your business. Because each brand/company/product is a niche on its own, and the executives should carefully curate the possible methods and solutions.
