The Rise of Visual Content: 8 Thought Leaders Weigh In

Visual content is on the rise and taking content marketing to new heights.  In the incredibly fast paced “attention economy” that we live in, people have less time to read text heavy articles and prefer to digest information through eye-catching, visually appealing content. No longer can b2b marketing professionals rely solely on ebooks, whitepapers, and blog posts to spread their message to prospective buyers and customers. Instead they must now provide content in the form of infographics, memes, comics, photos, videos, and visual notetaking to drive engagement. At Marketo, visual content is a huge part of our content marketing strategy and has proven to be a successful medium in driving revenue.
