Visual storytelling in social media communication campaigns

Abstract: The rapid development of digital technology has fundamentally transformed the modern communication environment, particularly on social media platforms. In this context, visual storytelling has emerged as a prominent communication trend, combining creative content with visual technologies to enhance the effectiveness of information delivery. More than simply using illustrative images, visual storytelling constructs a logical and emotional narrative flow that is easy to engage with through forms such as short videos, infographics, GIFs, motion graphics, and interactive image formats. This article analyzes the role and characteristics of visual storytelling in social media communication campaigns and identifies several emerging trends. On this basis, it proposes solutions for applying this storytelling approach in a creative, effective, and contextually relevant manner within modern communication practices.

Abstract: This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical foundations and ideological structure shaping the foreign policy of the Cuban Revolution, emphasizing its continuity with the nation’s long struggle for independence and sovereignty. From the legacy of the Mambí Army, the republican resistance, and José Martí’s ideal of national unity, Cuban diplomacy first emerged as a tool to seek recognition from the Latin American community. After the January 1959 Revolution, this policy was systematically consolidated, oriented toward building an independent, sovereign diplomacy grounded in the core principles of international law, such as non-interference, sovereign equality, peace promotion, and solidarity for development. Influenced by Marxist thought and Cuba’s unique geostrategic position, the country became an active player in international affairs, including the Missile Crisis, the Non-Aligned Movement, and solidarity campaigns in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. The study particularly underscores the central role of Cuba’s struggle against the U.S. economic and financial blockade—a policy that has caused severe harm to the Cuban people’s livelihood. The article also highlights Cuba’s consistent foreign policy positions on the global stage: rejecting all forms of hegemony and intervention, demanding the return of Guantánamo, safeguarding sovereignty, and advocating for a multipolar, fair, and democratic world order.
