What is Micro-Content?
Micro-Content is short form content that delivers stand-alone information, for many functional use cases. In todays social media filled climate, Micro-Content has become a major key in brands and businesses of all sizes.
Think of an image on Instagram of a full rack of ribs cooking on a smoker at a local BBQ joint. Let’s say the restaurant is Troy’s BBQ for instance. That single image of ribs is considered Micro-Content. A Digital asset who’s purpose is to draw the attention of customers.
In todays fast paced world, not everyone has the patience to sit through a 5 minute long video introducing a company. Sometimes all it takes is a single image to get your mouth watering.
Types of Micro-Content
Photos
Photography alone can be enough to show viewers what your business is all about. You can never have enough imagery whether it be on your website or social media platforms.
Infographics
Infographics are a great way to represent information or date in the form of a chart or diagram. You can stylize them to match your branding and keep things consistent.
Video
Sometimes a quick snippet of video is all you need to sell your product and services. With Instagram pushing video content, it’s a no brainer to mix in some video clips to your social media timelines.
Memes
With the humor of the internet today, more and more companies are turning to Memes to get information across in a funny way that can tie into pop culture.
