VISUAL CONTENT AND ITS IMPACT ON BRANDS
Of course we all know by now that Content Marketing works to attract traffic, and recently a study published by Oracle, this is the most effective strategy compared to SEM or SEARCH on search engines in terms of leads or potential customers.

This means that people get to know more about your brand or company through the content you publish. And this is true for any type of business or project, whatever the product or services you market.
And yes, visual content is just as important as text content. Text is a type of content that has to be attractive, that has to capture the attention of the audience.
