In today’s fast-moving, mobile-centric world, visuals are easy to understand, eminently sharable, and can be used to tell stories and evoke emotions that are much harder to do with words.
This Look Book examines 25 remarkable examples of visual content marketing. From inspiring customers to use their products in creative ways (Sherwin-Williams and Kraft) and entertaining us (Kellogg’s Pop Tarts and Pringles) to showcasing product quality in unforgettable ways (Volvo) and helping the public understand key issues (GE), visual content marketing’s uses are limited only by marketers’ imaginations.
We hope this Look Book inspires you to consider creative ways in which your brand can incorporate visuals and video into your content marketing mix.

WATERWISE
Created for UK nonprofit Waterwise,
the website “Every Last Drop” is a great

OREO
Oreo does a great job of engaging fans
of its popular Oreo cookies in creative
ways. Perhaps the most famous was the
great Cookie vs. Creme debate, which
played out in TV commercials (and
later repurposed into videos for online
consumption), and a user-generated
content campaign on Instagram, where
fans could submit their cookie or creme
ideas. Oreo took the best ideas and
created them, and shared images on its
social channels.

designers and bloggers, like David Stark.
These boards tie in nicely with the
in-store Target experience.

for six-second Vine videos.

The Palms

of summarizing the services and benefits
of a high-end destination in a compelling
way. The beauty of this place makes
you want to share it with your friends —
which is exactly what The Palms wants
you to do!

Salesforce.com
Sometimes a presentation doesn’t need
to be about your products or services.
In this case, Salesforce.com manages
to create a “halo effect” for itself by
associating with some of the best
companies and customer service quotes
ever, presented in a very attractive and
simple design.

VANS
This is a 12-episode documentary series
of cultures (punk rock, US in Russia,
East LA). While the demographic in the
#livingoffthewall series matches that of
Vans’ demographic, there is no mention
of the brand. It’s first-rate content
marketing in so many respects: the
site, the photography, and the way the
program is executed.
