Why is visual
storytelling
important?
Why is visual
storytelling
important?
● Keeps people interested.
● Breaks down complicated
subjects.
● Reinforces what you just read.
● Puts a human face on nonprofit
and faith-related issues.
Meet your enemies.
So long as the Internet
is full of cats, babies
and gifs, a wall of text
will never keep your
audience’s attention.
Facebook knows that people value photos over
text, and downgrades text-only posts.
Facebook also downgrades posts with photos
completely unrelated to the text.
facebook.com
iMedia Connection: Compelling
visuals can help social posts
generate over 90 percent more
views than generic content.

Instagram puts imagery at the
forefront, and quality is key.

HighQ: Online video now
accounts for 50 percent of mobile
traffic.

Visual storytelling breaks
down complicated topics.
Would you rather read a report or
look at pretty pictures?
Visual storytelling
makes data fun!
www.foodopoly.org
Are you better at remembering
names or faces?
Online, we are all better at
remembering faces. Faces
compel us to read longer stories
and stay with us when we move
onto the next article, Facebook
post or cat video.
Most
importantly...
Visual storytelling illustrates
the community and values
of your synagogue.
shalomrav.files.wordpress.com
When it comes to social programs, visuals prove that your
community is a place where people are active (and serves
as an invitation to be engaged).
http://cdn.cutestpaw.com/
How can you
incorporate visual
storytelling into
your work?
When you’re talking
about people...show
the people
http://www.imgmob.net/
Use photos that can
thrive on their own
and don’t need to
be explained.

Remember Facebook’s 80/20 Rule
