Oct 12th, 2022 by Kendal Rodgers

Have you ever spent hours creating the perfect piece of content only to realize you still need a solid strategy – and visual assets to go with it – for sharing and promoting your work on social media? It shouldn’t require a graphic design degree to create compelling social posts and stories. It shouldn’t take a ton of time, either. So, in the spirit of “create once, share everywhere” we’ve just launched our latest feature: Social Posts.

By enabling the effortless transformation, digital publishing, and sharing of content across channels in a single workflow, Issuu helps creators and users across industries to scale, simplify, and speed up their entire content marketing process from beginning to end. With Social Posts, you can now create stunning social media assets in minutes – all from scratch, or from your existing publications on Issuu.
