With their popularity came several changes in the way they were presented. Only the best of the best were shared on social media, resulting in higher brand awareness and consumer engagement.
As the traditional infographic evolved to keep up with consumers’ changing tastes, it brought the world the interactive infographic, which is becoming the most sought after form of data representation to date, even rendering some static infographics as outdated and irrelevant.
To help you stay ahead of the game with your graphic design and create an infographic with the potential to go viral, take a look at this list of awesome interactive infographics....

Poorly equipped schools, counterfit medicine and elections decided by bribes are just some of the consequences of public sector corruption. According to Transparency International, nowhere on earth is deemed totally free of corruption. Somalia and North Korea in particular stand out on this map - both scored only 8 out of a potential perfect score of 100. Denmark, New Zealand, Finland and Sweden were rated the least corrupt nations worldwide, according to Transparency International....

How much more memorable are visuals compared to text?
One oft-referenced answer is that people remember visuals 6 times better than text—an answer referenced in Buffer’s article on the anatomy of a perfect blog post and an answer that led to a lot of great discussion. After reviewing the original research, it’s clear that pictures are more memorable than words. So the next question became:
People remember visuals better than text. But which visuals exactly?
I’ve spent some time collecting the best research and science on pictures, images, infographics, and more, and I’m excited to share with you what I’ve found—along with some specific ways to use these insights in your marketing!

Google has many different sources of revenue, but one of their most noticeable is the ads that appear next to search results for specific keywords. How much that keyword costs depends, in part, on how often people search for it -- the more people search for a certain keyword, the more expensive it is.

Your infographics are effective marketing tools to build brand awareness. This is due to the fact that visuals used in the illustration of content can convey your business message to the audience easily and so your brand stays in the memory of the audience for a longer time.

The main reason why infographics are so successful is that they transpose written data into a visual representation of the ideas that information contains. Visual data is absorbed much more quickly and easily, which leads to faster understanding. The majority of the population learns best through visual stimuli as shown in research undertaken into Individual learning styles, which is why for advertising companies, such as those involved in ecig marketing, relevant information is delivered in a visually interesting, coherent and direct way.

Infographics are a fun way to present information on the internet. The random visitor might just click the x sign at the right corner of the page and contribute to your bounce rate if he encounters a business blog that has annals of text. But give him an infographic and he stays. Simple, he thinks (and he’s right there) that it’s easier to lift information off an infographic than from a text post. Information, numbers, ideas, statistics and conclusions pop out in an infographic. It is tough to miss important information in an infographic presentation. But write a well researched article on a Word document and publish that on your blog- well, the results might not quite match up to an infographic built from the same data. Less is more. Indeed!...

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.

When it comes to digital marketing, there are few techniques more widely used than the infographic. And when used effectively, they can provide a serious boost to any content marketing campaign. As noted by Forbes, “When your content is compelling, design can and should be used to communicate this information.” Many companies have found infographics to be an effective manner to communicate content in a clear and concise manner.
The problem is, many infographics produced today are pretty horrendous. Many are confusing or simply fail to provide relevant facts. And while some infographics are able to stand on their own, others become completely useless when removed from the context of the article with which they were originally published. Perhaps that’s part of the reason why infographic production has fallen in decline in recent years.
But effective infographics can supercharge a content marketing campaign, and indeed, continue to be more effective than other types of online content. Research by BuzzSumo found that on average, infographics vastly outperformed all other types of content in terms of online shares—especially on social media....
