Content Marketing with Infographics

There's no shortage of data and content in this age. Making sense of this information glut can be difficult. Infographics, through a mix of design, writing and analysis, offer a visually compelling way to convey complex data in a visual format.

“On their own, text and graphics are both useful yet imperfect methods for communication. Written language allows an almost infinite number of word combinations that allow deep analysis of concepts but relies heavily on the reader’s ability to process that information. Graphics may be easier for the reader to understand but are less effective in communication of abstract and complicated concepts. … combining text and graphics allows communicators to take advantage of each medium’s strengths and diminish each medium’s weaknesses.” - Barbara M. Miller and Brooke Barnett on infographics
