• To ensure your campaign displays as expected, use small images with a width of 100-300px.
• In drag-and-drop templates, you can only wrap text around an image in Text, Boxed Text, or Footer content blocks. In custom HTML templates, an image can wrapped in any content block that includes an image and text.
