Visual Storytelling: The Big Trend for SXSW 2016 | Cool Infographics

Visual Storytelling: The Big Trend for SXSW 2016 | Cool Infographics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From www.coolinfographics.com - August 22, 2015 11:05 PM

It’s only August, but voting is already underway for the March 2016 South By Southwest (SxSW) Interactive conference. Long thought of as the breeding ground for new ideas and creative technologies, we can gleam industry insights from the SXSW Interactive Festival. This year, I decided not to wait until the conference to delve into the veritable buffet of groundbreaking panels vying for festival space. This year’s PanelPicker interface received more than 4,000 proposals, which is an all-time record!

While a quick search of infographics yields only 11 results, a mere TWO actually have the word “Infographics” in the title. The industry discourse has shifted away from “how-to” models to “how to do it right.” Infographics have become a key format of the larger conversation: Visual Storytelling.

A quick search for “Visual Storytelling” yields over 200 talks in PanelPicker, along with hundreds more for “data visualization” and “visual content”.  Infographics are now used as one of many effective tools in the Marketer’s toolbox, and an accepted part of the larger conversation happening in the content marketing industry.

Visual storytelling is vital to content marketing success. The following types of visual content are at the forefront of the proposals for next year’s SXSW Interactive Festival.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Visual storytelling in every form is more than a trend. It's a reality for content marketing.

Great to see Gifographics in the content mix. Do these add anything beyond the static infographic itself? Be interested to get others thoughts?

10 Times Animated GIFs Make Perfect Sense on Social Media

10 Times Animated GIFs Make Perfect Sense on Social Media | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
From blog.bufferapp.com - September 13, 2015 3:21 AM

Just what do we see in GIFs? Like emojis and emoticons, they’re a way to quickly transmit information or emotion to a population that’s inundated with content and favors image-based communication.


Part of the fun is that there seems to be a GIF for any social situation you might find yourself in.


But GIFs increasingly have a more serious side, too—they can be a way to tell a story, explain a piece of information with more depth, or (yes, really!) conduct a conversation. For example, NASA uses GIFs of satellite imagery to transit important information, and Buzzfeed recently used GIFs to explain Greece’s debt crisis.


If you’re ready to add some GIFs to your online personality (or just up your GIF game) here are 10 social media moments to give GIFs a try....
