The often rough terrain of real estate can be the foundation for innovation, particularly within the new world of digital marketing. 

 

So, let’s celebrate excellence and nominate those of us who are forward-thinking and demonstrate inventiveness and influence through their digital and social media efforts.

Social Media Update

Gallery Image

 

In the past week, Instagram has changed the way images are viewed on its platform, opting to switch from the traditional square 1:1 format, to a taller 4:5 format.

 

While this change requires an adjustment for future content, it also affects all current, premade content. 

 

Instead of deleting square posts, a simple resize is needed to ensure usability. 

 

You don't need to go back and change your past content. Just remember to produce your future content in portrait.
