DEPENDS ON
PLATFORMS
⢠Facebook â Facebook sends out a lot of
traffic. More than any other network.
Since itâs geared towards news and
entertainment you want to keep your
content light and entertaining. And video
content performs the best here.
⢠Twitter â Twitter is more a news
platform. Curation and retweeting is thus
encouraged here. You want to focus
trending hashtags and topics.
⢠LinkedIn â The professional network where
industry articles, interesting data and
short, to-the-point sentences go a long
way.
⢠Instagram â A platform well suited for
visual brands. Pictures, call-out quotes
and short videos are doing well here.
⢠Pinterest â Also great for visual brands
as itâs completely geared towards
imagery. Most users look for inspiration
here.
Sometimes it is easier to really master one platform and then your move on to another.

Branding not Marketing
Video, Full Logo for awareness
Cool Imagery, Doesnât have to be the same for each platform (LinkedIn is suuuuper wide)
Consider desktop and mobile scales

Twitter banner again the profile pos moves based on screen res. *Interesting, you actually see more height of the imageAlso look at the Nintendo Profile compared to the Playstation EA icons
Moral of the story â keep whats important toward the center
