6 free visual marketing tools

6 free visual marketing tools | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

This lack of artistic ability poses a threat to my marketing career, especially now that visual content marketing is the ticket to success. Even though I have other creative traits, I'm worried I'll get left in the visual storytelling dust.


I know I'm not alone.


Luckily, we non-artists have a few tools to mask our lack of design talent.


These tools are free, but often have advanced paid features for when you're ready to step up your game. They don't replace a designer's expertise, but you can use them for smaller projects, like blogs, social media graphics, or Slideshare templates....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Looking for a way to make charts more appealing? Wish you knew what font was on your competitor's ad? Here's help.

My fave is Recite:  let's you make any quote look art directed. Given Twitter's predilection for quotes, it's a no-brainer.

Martin (Marty) Smith's curator insight, September 20, 2014 11:51 PM

Great share from Jeff and all new to me. Don't let Jeff fool you, if his artistic abilities are failing then I hope I can fail that good (he just past me the other day like a bullet on Scoop.it views). Great share here of new cool tools.
