As you work hard to carve out a unique space within your industry, you likely spend a lot of time developing an effective digital marketing strategy. How are you standing out amongst a crowded playing field? Is your messaging resonating with your audience? Are you creating the right kind of traction for your brand?

A major component in ensuring that your digital marketing strategy is working as hard as possible for your business is ensuring that you have strong visual content across the board, from paid social to email marketing campaigns and everything in between. The right visual can catch someone’s attention in a crowded feed or help a person connect with a message by enabling them to see themselves in the content.

Articles and blog posts with image content garner over 90% more views than those without. Tweets with images and video receive a staggering 150% more retweets than tweets relying solely on text. This is just a snippet of documented proof that consumers want to see impactful images that will drive them to activate.

Relevance matters

But finding the perfect stock image or video isn’t always easy. You move at a fast pace, and budget is probably tight, so you can’t afford to spend time and money on imagery or video content that is inauthentic, out of date, or irrelevant to your audience. How can you find the right visual content at the right time to get the desired effect?

Without the resources to really zero in on that audience though, you often have to make do with anonymous content that will be relevant to the largest possible audience. If you had the time, budget, and access to data, you’d probably love to research your targeted segment and find out as much as you could about what they expect to see in imagery, based on region, industry, and timely trends.
