There is no doubt that visuals are driving social media communications.

According to a great new infographic created by M Booth and Simply Measured, visual marketing tactics are energizing company interactions and engagement with customers on social media:

Another infographic by Wishpond states that 36% of all shared links on Twitter are photos!

That is the basis of my presentation this morning on visual marketing, specifically how to use Pinterest and Instagram for your business.

My presentation from today’s Social Media Breakfast North Shore is here:

Pinterest, Instagram, and Creating a Visual Online Brand from Julia Campbell
Description: Social Media Breakfast North Shore is led by Ari Herzog and brings together entrepreneurs, marketers, and web geeks for a morning of professional development and sharing of social media ideas and insights.
Our 7th breakfast occurs at Cygnet Confections in Peabody and features a presentation by Julia Campbell, President of J Campbell Social Marketing.
SMBNS 7: Pinterest, Instagram, and Creating a Visual Online Brand, Tuesday, May 28, 2013 @ 8 a.m., Cygnet Confections, 139 Lynnfield Street, Suite 101, Newhall Crossing, Peabody
Online marketing is visual. If you are not telling your story to your customers in a visual way, you may be ignored or left behind. Julia will discuss the benefits of using Instagram and Pinterest for your business and the ways these two visual social media platforms can help you connect with existing customers and get in front of new ones.
