Why we like it:
This sponsored piece by Pitney Bowes in The Atlantic is a good example of how to capture your audience’s attention before finishing up with an accurate call-to-action. The piece consists of a series of scroll-down slides with short paragraphs and fun visuals, which creates content that is easy to consume and engage with.
