Social media marketing ideas for business.

Let Adobe Express be your social media marketing expert.

A good marketing strategy engages your audience, provides meaningful interactions, and establishes strong connections and brand loyalty. The best way to catch your audience’s attention is by standing out. Use your creativity to craft stand-out content that is unique. Adobe Express can help you create beautiful designs.

Facebook: Optimize ad performance with creative strategy.

• Facebook cover photo: Create a positive and lasting first impression with a thoughtfully designed cover photo. Having a cover photo that effectively speaks for your brand or your messaging will give your audience a visual association to remember your page. Our Facebook cover photo maker is super fast and super easy, making it ideal for those with little design experience. In seconds you'll have a sleek, professional cover photo to boost your Facebook's image. Adobe Express provides pre-set sizes to get you started. As a reminder, a Facebook cover photo size should be 820px x 312px for desktop and 640px x 360px for mobile.

• Facebook ads: To make an instant impact with Facebook ads, your advertisement needs to be eye-catching and informative at the same time — not an easy feat. Adobe Express helps you make impactful Facebook ads without prior design experience.

• Facebook video ads: You can also use videos for Link Ads. Use Adobe Express to create a video for your next Facebook ad campaign. Be sure to create a video that is an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 9:16 and is less than 4 GB in size. Stick to shorter videos that have important, engaging content to catch the attention of the audience. Adobe Express makes it easy to create the perfect video.

Twitter: Branding your page and engaging your audience.

• Twitter header: Welcome your audience to your Twitter feed with an impressive header photo. Whether it’s a personal page or a branded/company one, Adobe Express has the tools to create a header image that complements any profile. Explore pre-made template designs, take advantage of a fantastic library of free stock photos, and upload your own images or logos to incorporate into your header. Your Twitter header size measures about 1500px x 500px, but remember that the top and bottom edges are cut off, so if you have any important details to include in your header, make sure you keep them toward the middle.

• Twitter video and posts: Stand out in your followers’ feed with multimedia tweets such as images, videos, or GIFs. Adobe Express is your go-to for creating eye-catching content to engage your audience. Available on both desktop or mobile, Adobe Express makes it easy to upload, edit, and share video content.

If video content doesn’t resonate with you or your brand, consider uploading a graphic or design relevant to your digital voice. For example, instead of simply tweeting a quote, phrase, or fact, turn it into a graphic using Adobe Express to make it stand out and shareable.

Tuning in to your creativity to create a compelling YouTube channel.

• YouTube logo: Before you start uploading videos, you’ll want to make sure your YouTube profile is well-rounded and presentable. Take our Logo Maker for a spin to help you create a logo that ties together your messaging along with your visual preferences to give you a beautifully designed, one-of-a-kind logo. Upload your logo to your profile and use it as a watermark on your videos and other shared content.

• YouTube thumbnail: Your logo creates a foundation for your personal brand and branded elements. Allow this design to grow and evolve into your YouTube video thumbnails, a graphic element that will help viewers know what to expect when they tune in to your videos. A video thumbnail has the same function as a movie poster or a book jacket, capturing attention and persuading people that clicking Play is worth their time. After you invest the time to create your YouTube video, spending a few more minutes adding a professional-quality thumbnail can have a huge impact on the growth of your audience.

• YouTube channel art: Your YouTube channel art is another way to customize your page and express your creativity. Inject personality into your YouTube profile page by creating a unique banner that assists with telling the story of you or your brand. Adobe Express offers 2560px x 1440px YouTube banner size canvases, and templates in case you need a little inspiration to get you started.

• YouTube intro: Intros can add an exciting and professional appeal to your YouTube video. While several advanced video production programs are available, many of them are highly complex and require a degree of technical know-how. Adobe Express features a user-friendly design interface you’ll be able to master in minutes. Use your logo design or other branded elements to create your intro to establish consistency with your channel. Then download your clip, add it to your full-length video, and publish the finished work to your channel.

• YouTube video: Adobe Express is your one-stop-shop for bringing your YouTube channel to life. Once you’ve got your logo, banner, thumbnail, and video intro in your wheelhouse, you’ll be ready to make the final and most important piece – the video. Upload your custom-made intro to your Adobe Express timeline, followed by the filmed content you wish to share. Trim and edit your clips to complete your cohesive narrative.

Think about your metadata as you upload your video. Your title, description, and keywords are all metadata that tell search engines how to index your content. Craft keyword-rich titles and descriptions and use YouTube’s keyword fields to improve search ranking. Add your bio, tagline, and website link to the description field of every video you publish so it’s easy for viewers to learn more about you and reconnect with your channel time and time again.

Instagram: Creating beautiful, share-worthy content for your audience.

• Instagram Story: Instagram Stories are an opportunity for frequent updates for your audience to follow along with in-between posts. Stories can be used to share real-time events or announce things like sales, product drops, or important announcements. You can tag others in your stories, link to a website, or re-share posts or stories you’ve been tagged in. Because stories are fleeting, it’s a great chance to explore a new voice or approach with your following. Use Adobe Express to make your next Instagram story. Start with the Instagram story size 1080px x 1920px, and then begin to customize a pre-made template or create your own from scratch. Add photos and logos, switch up the colors, and download and share your story.

• Instagram post: Let your creativity shine through your Instagram posts. With some much content for people to consume, it’s crucial that your Instagram posts stand out amongst the rest in the feed. And the best way to stand out? Be true to yourself. Share posts that embody your or your brand’s values and messages. Our Instagram post maker starts you off with a framework of template and design options to inspire your creativity. Then, customize your design according to the purpose of your post. Avoid having too much text on your post, and instead, move it to the caption so that way your post can serve as an eye-catching design to grab your audience’s attention. Adobe Express offers Instagram sizes, including square, landscape, and portrait, and allows you to save your designs so you can go back and revise and remix them as much as you’d like.

• Instagram video: Add an extra dimension to your follower’s experience by serving up some video content. Head to Adobe Express to edit videos. Choose from landscape or square formats, then upload your own footage. Add text or create polished graphic animations for a dynamic edit. Download and share your new video to your Instagram feed or IGTV.

LinkedIn: Branding your page and maximizing visibility with your posts.

• LinkedIn banner: When your LinkedIn profile is jam-packed with impressive career experiences and rich industry knowledge, it can be hard to choose a banner photo to match. There are several different approaches to picking the right banner, and Adobe Express is ready to help with all of them. Looking for something professional yet artistic? Explore our stock photo selection to find a landscape shot of an environment or abstract compositions. Going for something more personal? Build your own banner design from our selection of templates, and incorporate your own images, logos, or favorite colors and font styles. Start with a canvas to build a LinkedIn header banner that is 1584px x 396px and then let the creativity flow.

Twitch: Streamlining designs for your branded stream.

• Twitch logo: As a streamer, a logo can communicate information to your viewers about what they can expect from your digital persona, along with serving as your own personal mascot. Your logo should resonate with who you are, as well as what about yourself you want to share with your viewers. Take these ideas into consideration as you use our logo maker to craft your next Twitch logo. Our easy-to-use logo maker guides you through the process and even offers you designs to get your gears spinning. Instantly download and share your logo wherever you go.

• Twitch banner: Your Twitch banner offers additional real estate for you to share your personal style. Craft your next banner using Adobe Express. The Twitch banner size is 900px x 480px. Apply your Twitch logo to your banner, along with incorporating colors and imagery that echo the aesthetic of your logo. Aim for an eye-catching design.

Tumblr: Creating banners to brand your blog.

• Tumblr banner: Tumblr is a strong contender for impactful social media marketing, especially when sharing written or original content. Use Adobe Express to design a banner photo to impress your visitors the moment they arrive on your page. Adobe Express features a pre-set image size designed to fit the Tumblr template so you can focus on exploring your creativity as you build your banner. You can edit and tweak your banner from your mobile device and sync between desktop and mobile so you can keep your Tumblr banner up-to-date.

Memes: Laughter with memorable, creative marketing.

• Memes can be a powerful marketing tool. To create a meme that is marketable, take a piece of your brand content or product, caption it with something relatable, witty, and relevant, and share it with your platforms. If your joke lands, then the right audience will share it among their community, promoting viewership for your content.
• Using Adobe Express as a meme generator couldn’t be easier. Upload a photo or pick from the stock selection of photography as a foundation. Then, give it the winning caption as text overlay or a header. You can then use a simple yet powerful design interface to add backgrounds, change the appearance of text, and make countless cosmetic changes.

Campaign posters: Change the world with creative thinking.

Whether you’re creating a poster for a political campaign or product campaign, be sure to make a striking design to enhance and support your messaging.

Adobe Express helps you generate interest and attract support with professional-looking campaign posters. Get started with templates, then customize as much or as little as you like. Give your campaign image a hashtag, plaster it on all your social media profiles, print out yard signs, and organize a work party. Adobe Express is here to give you a visual platform to support your messaging.
