Boost Your Brand: Why Your Social Media Images Need To Tell a Story!

How much time do you spend on commenting, being in awe of, and praising, other businesses' social media posts and content? But…

1. How often do you wish that your own brand's content was more exciting?

2. Are your posts telling a story about you and your business?

3. Are you starting positive conversations around your brand, with your posts? 

If the answers you give to these questions are mostly negative, and leave you feeling deflated and discouraged, I would love to help you to change that! 

So let's consider this: We are visual creatures, aren't we? 

We see images and react, immediately - and our first reaction is often an emotional one, be it positive or negative. 

And, crucially, the very same reactions apply to what you share for your business! 

So how can you ensure that your brand is viewed in an exciting way, a positive way? 

More to the point, an engaging way? 

The answer can be a simple one: “Use Story-Telling, High Quality, Images to Connect With Your Audience!” 

Your images need to tell a story in order to elicit a positive reaction and start a conversation, because…

People LOVE brand stories, and the old adage is still very much true:

“A picture is worth a thousand words!”

Here are suggestions of the best types of Branding Photos to help you tell the story of your brand, and to engage your audience:

1. Behind-the-Scenes Shots: I love these, and use them myself to show how I work and what happens during a shoot! People love this style of images, so give your audience a peek into your brand’s operations. Showcasing the people, processes, and passion behind your brand can foster trust, and authenticity.

2. Product in Action: Demonstrate how your product or service solves a problem or enhances a lifestyle. Visualise your offerings in real-world scenarios to make them more relatable to potential clients.

3. Team Photos: Bring your team to the fore and the faces behind your brand. Candid shots of your team working together or celebrating achievements can create a sense of community and a fresh feel of camaraderie.

4. Lifestyle Imagery: One of my favourites to photograph, and to see! Connect your brand with a desired lifestyle and capture moments that evoke emotions and aspirations, aligning your brand with your target audience's values.

5. Event Photography: Document your brand's involvement in industry events, conferences, or community gatherings. These photos showcase your brand's activity and engagement.

6. Customer Testimonials: Feature satisfied customers using your product or service. Their positive experiences can serve as powerful endorsements, and equally powerful storytelling tools.

7. Brand Story Visuals: Create images that directly illustrate key elements of your brand's story. This could include historical photos, symbolic imagery, or illustrations.
