How do you possibly say “a picture is worth a thousand words” without repeating that trite saying?

The answer is you show, demonstrate, create emotion, and build a connection. A top notch photograph as the focal point of your advertising campaign typically does the trick. Don’t get me wrong – engaging copy can do a great job drawing your audience in or helping them to take action, but the value of an integrated photograph is too often underestimated.

Rather than telling everyone how much good the Children’s Miracle Network is doing, the organization ( www.carilionclinic.org/Carilion/cmn ) made the decision to connect with their audience through Libby. This photograph used in a local billboard campaign, captures the essence of Libby and builds an emotional tie to the Children’s Miracle Network and the Clinic.
