INTRODUCTION As Bob Dylan famously said, “the times they are a changin’.” And social media

seems to be doing it more frequently than other marketing channels.

The most recent trend is the dominance of visual content. Facebook has turned

its walls into timelines. Instagram became so popular that Facebook bought it

for one billion buckaroos. And Pinterest--the online photo scrapbooking site--is

now the number three most visited social network in the country.

If you aren’t prepared for the visual content revolution, you may be left in the

dust. That’s why the HubSpot marketing team compiled this list of 55 brands

killing it with visual content on these top 4 visually-driven social networks. Use

this for inspiration to launch your visual content strategy.

Good luck!

CHOBANI

38

Create multiple boards with images that relate to your brand.

Page 39: 55 brands rocking_social_media_with_visual_content

CHOBANI

39

Each board should contain relevant visual content. Chobani does so by showcasing all the delicious treats their fans have made with their product. Remember: On social networks, it’s not all about you.

Page 40: 55 brands rocking_social_media_with_visual_content

ORECK

40

Describe your brand in a few words. Users are on Pinterest to pin, not to read. Put simply, Oreck is “clean made easy.”

Page 41: 55 brands rocking_social_media_with_visual_content

ORECK

41

Use content related to your product to help promote your own. Cleaning supplies aren’t the most exciting products to look at. Oreck showcases various floor designs, tying it to their product by saying, “the prettiest floors need the best of care.”

MASHABLE

42

Categorize your boards as you would your website. Mashable pins to boards that fall into the same categories as the articles they publish on mashable.com

Page 43: 55 brands rocking_social_media_with_visual_content

MASHABLE

43

Send users back to your website. Mashable hosts a weekly photo contest. In order for users to participate, they must be directed to a link on the Mashable site.

ETSY

44

Pin. A lot. According to RJ metrics, over 80% of pins are re-pins. This emphasizes the importance of pinning new content. Etsy has 30 boards with 1592 pins (as of May 28, 2012).

Page 45: 55 brands rocking_social_media_with_visual_content

ETSY

45

Tap into the platform’s audience. Pinterest first became popular with women planning weddings--and that group is still the largest Pinterest demographic. Although wedding accessories are only one part of the business, Etsy dedicates an entire board to weddings. A smart choice for this platform.

DRAKE UNIVERSITY

46

Take advantage of all things cute. By pinning photos of adorbs bulldogs (the school mascot) Drake University is sharing images that capture the attention of users beyond those in Drake community.

AARP

49

Show versatility. What’s a company for people 50+ doing on Pinterest? AARP is pinning interesting images that could attract people outside of their target audience. This could bring in customers through the children and grandchildren of their target customer.

WHOLE FOODS

51

Take a colorful spin on basic life teachings. We’ve all been told to eat our vegetables--and when they’re yummy, we do! Whole Foods isn’t pinning pictures of your everyday broccoli and spinach. They’re presenting images of unique veggies that look like nothing but a delight to indulge in.
