The Value Visuals Bring to Your Brand

From the point of view of a Designer, Photographer, and Visual Learner.

Over two-thirds of people are visual learners who engage more with social media posts, emails, ads, and content containing images rather than just text. Not only is content with images easier to digest and more likely to catch your attention, but they makes the content that follows more compelling. According to a recent study, approximately 80% of marketers utilize visual assets in their social media marketing campaigns, as visual content is 40% more likely to be shared on social media platforms.

What are digital visual assets?

A digital visual asset is any material, such as photography, videos, design elements (including infographics, illustrations, posters, signage, and motion graphics), and content (including GIFs, CGI photography, and memes). Other visuals can include presentations, documents, and more. While the format type is crucial, the value it brings is equally essential. Digital assets must be owned by either a company or an individual, provide value to said company, and be searchable via Google and metadata.

Digital assets are a fantastic way to attract, inspire, and engage people! Creating a great brand experience and utilizing different and unique visual aspects can go a long way. According to Gepard, "visual assets drive sales by creating better customer experiences. In return, this builds brand loyalty. It is essential to recognize that visual content significantly drives engagement and conversion. Today's market demands that retailers have a robust plan that meets both the creative and administrative sides, which is often a time-consuming part of the business." 

Why visuals are important and why you should use them 

Visuals and digital assets are essential in today's digital landscape. Businesses depend on them more than ever to create ads, meet customer demands, and inspire certain consumer behaviors and connections. Visuals represent who and what your company stands for and showcase your products, culture, brand, and services. In addition, digital visual assets on your social media can help you better interact with your viewers and prospects.

Did you know that content with images receives an average of 94% more views than content without? That is because humans are more likely to remember information when paired with an image—adding an image helps people process visual data over 60,000 times faster than words! In addition, videos are the second most visited search results on Google, whereas videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels have a whooping 33.3-37.3 million monthly viewers per platform. It's no wonder, then, that over 51% of B2B marketers prioritize visual assets when creating their content marketing strategies, as stated by HubSpot.

Not everyone learns or digests information in the same way. With so many people preferring to learn via visuals, developing content that visually engages others makes sense. Additionally, being more inclusive and following the latest data will help your brand meet customer needs and demands on every level.
