Digital marketing on social media

Abstract

Graphic design in digital marketing is presented as a strategic factor for strengthening visual communication and brand positioning on social media. This study conducted a systematic literature review with the aim of analyzing the influence of graphic resources on the effectiveness of digital campaigns. To this end, the following keywords were established: “Graphic design,” “Digital marketing,” “Advertising campaigns,” “Visual identity,” “Engagement,” and “Social media,” and a search was conducted on Google Scholar. Initially, 30 documents were identified, of which, after applying inclusion (I) and exclusion (E) criteria, only 15 met the established parameters. Subsequently, the studies were organized into three categories according to their focus: visual identity, communication strategies, and user participation. The results show that graphic design helps capture attention, generate credibility, and consolidate the digital identity of brands, enhancing their reach and engagement on social platforms. In conclusion, graphic design should not be understood as a purely aesthetic element, but as an essential tool in strategic digital marketing planning, with a significant impact on building trust and competitive differentiation in virtual environments.
