Project Brief

Drift is a company that provides website bot and sales tools to businesses to help them communicate with website visitors in real-time. It features advanced chat and conversational technology to help businesses give quick and personalized support to potential customers, resulting in increased conversions.

As part of Drift's internal marketing team, you have been assigned to create social media graphics for a LinkedIn post celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. The creative director has requested designs that focus on abstract representations of King's life's work or mission, rather than his portrait, which is often overused on the holiday. The graphics should reflect Drift's brand and graphic identity.

These graphics will accompany a series of three posts on LinkedIn and will be used to help the copywriting team craft their posts. The objective is to create a selection of graphics for the copywriting team to choose from, allowing them to effectively convey their message in the posts' body.

Working with Social Media Platforms

Whether it's a post's graphic or on-platform ads, there are several factors to consider in order to make a big impact:

  • Consider the platform's UI: Every social media platform has its own unique design, so it's important to consider how this might impact your graphic design.
  • Confirm the platform's image specs: Always confirm the platforms you'll be using and verify their preferred image specifications. This will ensure that your graphics are optimized for each platform and will look their best.
  • Consider the caption: Think about what will be said in the caption to avoid repeating the same words in your graphic. The graphic and caption should work together to deliver a cohesive and impactful message.
  • Include brand information: Always include brand information, such as your logo or company name, in your graphics in case they end up leaving the platform. This will help ensure that your brand is still recognizable even if the graphic is shared elsewhere.
  • Be exploratory: Social media is an ever-changing and unpredictable landscape, so don't be afraid to try new or bold ideas for your graphics. This can help your company stand out and make a lasting impression on your audience.
