Social Media Image Sizes Deciphered
When it comes to social media land, the sizes for each image platform vary per site. Your brand marketing should be incorporating different types of media into your strategies. The more unique and varied your content is, the stronger the brand recognition you will gain. These types of varied content include: images, videos, audio posts, lists, podcasts, infographics, memes, jokes and so on.
When creating a social media strategy, your brand should be using the highest quality images that best fit the various social platforms. In fact, one of the biggest trends of the past year has been visual content. The year 2014 was full of visuals and platforms like Instagram; while Pinterest user engagement and number of signups have also increased dramatically.
