Creating personalised visual content that’s engaging on social media involves more than selecting the right image, it’s about leveraging that image to reflect your brand’s unique message. This blog explores the creative processes of four entrepreneurs and how they transformed Eliza Stock images into a piece of content that showcases their brand’s identity.

Mastering the Art of Visual Storytelling

The first transformation illustrates how Erika selected an image of an outdoor business meeting and added it to her carousel post on Instagram. It involved integrating branding and interactive elements like colourful speech bubbles to debunk social media myths among women over 40. This approach engaged the audience and reinforced the brand’s identity with consistent typography and a cohesive colour scheme. It demonstrates that with thoughtful design elements, a stock photo can be turned into a powerful tool for communication and engagement on social media. This approach not only extends the utility of a single image but also enhances the brand’s ability to connect with its audience by addressing specific misconceptions or questions they may have. How could a similar approach help your brand?

Selecting Strategic Images

This example showcases how Emma has carefully chosen an image featuring a pink notebook and rose gold pen. The image, used in a LinkedIn post, resonated perfectly with themes of productivity and elegance, aligning impeccably with the brand’s aesthetics. The combination of the visual elements with a caption about prioritising tasks effectively communicated the brand’s focus on quality and professionalism. Using consistent branding and high-quality images helps in building and maintaining brand recognition across platforms. It ensures that the audience can instantly connect the visuals with the brand.

Engaging with Dynamic Formats

A minimalist image was transformed into an Instagram Reel, incorporating text overlays and calls to action like “Read the Caption.” This not only maintained the original image’s aesthetic but also adapted it to engage viewers more interactively. Such adaptations are vital as they leverage Instagram’s algorithmic preference for video content (especially Reels), enhancing both reach and audience engagement. By transforming a static image into this format, the brand is likely to see increased visibility and reach, helping to attract and engage a broader audience.

Strategic Visual impact

Jo selected this image of a silhouette of a woman with a camera against softly lit curtains and has turned it into a Instagram carousel titled “Behind The Content.” This use of visual storytelling, through branded typography and a strategic structure, invites viewers to dive deeper into the content creation process. The dark backdrop with vibrant yellow bold text maximises visual impact and ensures the text stands out, which is crucial for capturing the viewer’s attention in a fast-scrolling social media environment. How can these strategies enhance your own content creation?
