# Types of Posts

### Overview

Enhance communication effectiveness and cater to diverse preferences within your organization by utilizing different post types. Various content types, such as text, images, audio, video, and interactive elements, allow for a more engaging and inclusive communication strategy. Different formats can be chosen based on the nature of the information being conveyed, ensuring clarity and understanding among employees. This approach recognizes that individuals have varying learning styles, accessibility needs, and preferences, promoting a more comprehensive and effective internal communication strategy. MangoApps offers four types of posts within the intranet: Company, Team, and Follower posts, as well as Alerts.

Uses and limitations for using Company posts include:

* Company Posts are visible to all network users of your domain.
* Company posts can be set as a **domain wide banner** via post promotio&#x6E;**.** Admins can customize the site-wide banner with a system/custom background and post title by default.&#x20;
* When a company post is promoted, it will be automatically converted into a site-wide banner that remains visible for up to 24 hours. This site-wide banner will be visible to all users in the network. After the 24-hour period, the banner will be automatically removed, but the post itself will remain unaffected. If a new story post is published during the 24 hours, it will replace the existing story as the site-wide banner.
