How to use this block

Treat the component as one production section inside a larger message system. Keep the shared classes and wrapper rules intact, then adapt the copy, imagery, and links to the send.

Use this block when...

  • Use when the image should lead the section but the copy still needs equal weight.
  • Review the mobile stack order if the image carries essential context.

Keep in mind

  • Use meaningful alt text for the lead image because it appears first in the reading order.
  • Keep the headline and CTA understandable even if the image fails to load.
