People become more and more demanding every day to what they see and read on the Internet. It’s not even connected with the fact that users are becoming smarter. The amount of information is growing and its quality frequently leaves something to be desired.
Therefore, if you want to stand out among your competitors, promote your website or social media, you must create high-quality content. In big corporations like EssayShark, devoted experts or even teams work on the creation of visual and textual content, and the marketer only has to analyze, compile plans and strategies, set tasks to these experts and enjoy the results. Often, marketers in small companies and agencies combine several positions: a marketer, copywriter, graphic designer, and content manager. Usually, you don’t have enough budget to outsource or hire a freelance designer while users’ requirements for visual content are getting higher.
Marketing managers have nothing left but to create all the content they need themselves. Fortunately, there is a wide range of services and tools nowadays which allow even an amateur to create unique, catchy and branded illustrations. So, today, we are going to explore the applications that can become real life-savers for marketers in despair.
How to Choose the Right Tool for Content Creation?
There’s hardly a person who can imagine social networks without images, ads, and posts. If you want to save time on the creation of visual content and devote more time to analyzing marketing campaigns and building your social media strategy, use various applications and online services for your needs. It’s an excellent solution if you don’t have a designer or prefer the DIY approach to content creation.

Its functionality allows users to create presentations, infographics, logos, social media posts, etc. There are paid and free versions.
