Content marketing is becoming more and more important to gain organic reach, credibility, and audience engagement. Whether it’s social media, video, graphic, or blog copywriting, content creation is valuable to any marketing strategy. Infographics visually captivate, entertain, and educate the audience. In fact, people retain visual content more often than written.  

While the list of content marketing tools is endless, these few graphic/infographic creation tools should help beginner or senior designers alike organize and execute content design for their marketing strategy.

Visual.ly

Visual.ly connects users with a team of talented designers to work on and alongside an infographic project until completion. Since audiences are more responsive to visual images and infographics could potentially go viral (which would immensely help with a brand’s exposure), Visual.ly understands the importance of connecting users with high quality, affordable designers who will meet timelines and expectations. In addition to designing infographics, Visual.ly can help with eBooks, videos, presentations, photography, social media content, writing, and content strategies and illustrations. The quote of the service depends on the specific need/ask.
