    • Social Media: Craft short, punchy social media posts featuring the quote and a link to the full article. Use eye-catching visuals and relevant hashtags to grab attention. These are great creatives for Meta ads, too!
    • Website Banners: Consider featuring a powerful quote and a link to the article on your company website's homepage or relevant landing pages, such as a press room page.
