What are the characteristics of great content marketing design?

The design of your content marketing refers to its layout and the imagery used. Uniformity and consistency in designs helps to unify your content. If all your blog posts look similar, or if your videos have certain visual elements in common, it helps to create a visual look for your brand. In order to help guide your audience through your content, designers work to place certain elements such as a CTA (Call to action) on a design in order to provide customers a clear path users are more likely to follow and notice. While maintaining a clear path, content design must look good on all screen sizes. In order to achieve a high-performance design, the content must be flexible and responsive to the vast amount of screen varieties we see today.

Plus, clutter free minimal blog posts, and image-based content are a lot easier to look at and engage with than content that’s full to bursting with text, pictures, and video clips.

Why does content marketing design matter?

Visual design elements are more than tools for luring people into clicking on your content. They’re also essential for generating audience engagement and effectively communicating your marketing messages. Google’s search algorithm deliberately favors content that includes plenty of charts, images and data visualizations. So, content with strong visual elements naturally tend to rank much more highly than less visual content anyway. With increased audience engagement, the higher the search rankings will be.

What are the best content designs to use and engage with my audience?

Visual elements like infographics and data visualizations are some of the best ways to engage your audience and boost your search rankings. A striking visual identity will help differentiate your brand from others. Developing bold brand guidelines that can be applied consistently across everything you do is a great way of maintain interest amongst your customers. Steps in establishing a collaborative creative process will also provide a healthy design culture when people are sharing feedback and developing their ideas accordingly for future content to come.
