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 story and the copy closes the section.
  • Works well for case studies, updates, or feature spotlights.
  • Swap imagery carefully so the left-first reading order still makes sense once stacked on mobile.

Keep in mind

  • Use meaningful alt text for the leading image because it arrives first in the reading order.
  • Avoid embedding important copy inside the image itself, especially for mobile clients.
