Visuals catch the eye. Videos hold attention. But creating high-quality images and clips can feel like a chore. The good news? AI image generation and video tools make it fast and fun. Even better: you can plug them straight into your CMO.SO workflow. Want to know how? Read on.
Why Visual Content Accelerates Engagement
Ever scrolled past a wall of text? We all have. Visuals break the monotony. They:
- Boost click-through rates by up to 90%.
- Increase time on page.
- Help convey complex ideas in seconds.
Combine that with AI image generation, and you get custom visuals in minutes. No design studio. No long briefs. Just a prompt and voilà—stunning images and videos that align with your message.
The Rise of AI Image and Video Generators
AI content creation tools have exploded in popularity. Among them, platforms like RunwayML offer:
- Dozens of creative tools: From mood boards and storyboarding to virtual staging and VFX.
- Video editing on autopilot: Change lighting, remove backgrounds, add dialogue—just by typing your request.
- Custom workflows: Chain multiple AI models for total control over your output.
But there’s a catch. Most SMEs juggle separate tools for visuals and text. That means:
- Multiple logins.
- Disjointed workflows.
- Extra costs.
This gap is where CMO.SO shines. It unites AI image generation, automated SEO blogs, and a community-driven learning hub—all in one place.
