In celebration of their 100-year anniversary, the American Film Institute selected the 100 most memorable quotes from American cinema, and a few years ago, for kicks and giggles, I put the first eight quotes into chart form. I planned to chartify all 100, but I got distracted. Lately though, finishing what I started became my distraction. So here it is: the 100 most memorable quotes in chart form and I can finally put it to rest. See the big version for more detaildetail...

Over the course of the year, we saw infographics on a wide range of subjects, including 20th-century camera and sneaker design, house alliances of The Game Of Thrones, a colorwheel of cheeses, undersea internet cabling, beard typography, Batman symbols, and much, much more. For years, marketers without a lick of design sense were slapping clip art on any data set that came their way and calling the finished poster an infographic. In 2013, there was a backlash against shoddy infographics. Perhaps that's why it feels like this year's data viz design is the most sophisticated, and the most accessible, yet: infographics don't have to be stupid anymore to be for everyone. For your end-of-year perusal, we've collected 21 of our favorite infographics of 2013 in the slide show above. On the data viz front, we can't wait to see what 2014 has in store. Enjoy!...

Infographics creation and sharing has exploded. Short attention spans require optimal visual communication. Here are the 7 keys to successful infographics... The change extends not just to the words and platforms but the visual communication. We are rapidly moving to a visual web that communicates with 6 second videos captured on mobiles using social visual platforms like “Vine”. We have fast growing social networks that destroy the communication (photos or videos with a text) after the receiver has read or viewed the message. That ephemeral and temporary service is provided by the exploding social network, SnapChat (which has just turned down a $3 billion cash buyout from Facebook). We all know the importance of images and photos to drive sharing on Facebook. Twitter has just added images to the stream and research show that it increases engagement. That is why infographics creation and sharing has exploded in the last couple of years. Short attention spans require optimizing communication that tells a story in a glance....

Our goal as savvy email marketers is to look beyond the lure of the one-time conversion and strive to build an ongoing relationship between consumers and our brands. Why is this goal so important? Because it’s been proven through many a marketing study that engaged customers become loyal customers and loyal customers are the most valuable segment in any list or database.
This type of highly engaged, loyal customer typically has higher overall lifetime value than the casual consumer. They’re also more likely to be an evangelist, introducing new customers to your brand in a very personal way and building the next layer of loyal customers.
But, how can you help to build a stronger bond with your customer base? In my last article, I outlined ways to stimulate an unengaged audience by increasing the relevancy of your email creative by including more dynamic content. Sharing relevant content demonstrates to customers that we know them as individuals and are dedicated to providing them with useful information, products or services. Using historical and behavior data is a great way to present content that’s tailored to their individual needs and preferences, but you also need to engage with your audience on an emotional level in order to achieve the goal of creating a true brand-loyal customer....

...One has to look no further than the pages of a USA Today to see just how the charticle has taken its rightful place as a journalistic vehicle for today’s time and attention-starved news consumers. A few minutes with quick visual coupled with scannable text and we know just about everything going on in the world.In fact, some writing sites even advise would-be writers to skip the feature article and submit a quick-impact charticle for consideration. What is a Charticle? Charticles – as defined by Omaha World-Herald Deputy Presentation Editor Josh Crutchmer – are combinations of text, images and graphics that take the place of a full article. They are often used by bloggers and journalists alike to express one big idea with a bit of narrative provided by the supporting text that follows or sets up the big visual or chart that’s usually the feature in the post. In many cases, the chart featured in the charticle could likely stand on its own, as in, the data is typically that compelling. Moreover, that’s also what makes it worth writing about. The charticle is singular in focus and offers a great opportunity for expressing a succinct thought leadership point of view on a relevant bit of data....

One way communication is not longer efficient and effective enough in promotion mix, especially the technology generation, internet, social media and smart phone has been used by majority of population. The interaction between marketer on social media and consumers become extremely important. This article suggested 26 marketing tips on social media that can help marketer to maintain brand equity on social platform. The first 6 tips are all concentrate on “call to action”. Marketers need to grab consumer attention and encourage consumer reaction on it post, such as share the page, click page and join us. The power of the social media is that once one consumer like or shares the page it will also appear on his/her friends and family page, the message will be spread significantly and increase message visibility. The second category is talking about content strategy, develop an interesting content on social platform target company’s customers and motivate consumer engagement is very important on social media marketing. “Content is King but engagement is Queen, and she rules the house.”—Mari Smith, 10 Ways to Improve Your Facebook Reach. It has stated how crucial content is, whereas without motivate consumer interaction content can be nothing. Strategically focus on content message don’t be boring and keep on followers interests. Understand where the target market area is so that it maximise effectiveness on the marketing activities. The last section is email and social integration, email is not any more a new technology, in order to increase brand awareness and reach potential consumers.

This post holds lots of valuable information based on social media marketing. Traditional media marketing focuses on one-way communication whereas social media marketing focuses on two-way communication, which is based on growing relationships between organization and business. As the article states organizations need to engage with customers rather than market to them – customers need to be incorporated within the marketing campaign, which will engage them, motivate them and more importantly build strong relationships. With social media becoming more and more dominant in everyday lifestyles it is important for marketers to take this on board and communicate messages through these social channels.
With social media consumers also have the opportunity to share information they believe to be important. This is very valuable as this opens up further communication between consumer to consumer by delivering messages they have taken away from an organization. If information is positive this will then begin to build another relationship for the organization.

There is a lot of talk these days about social signals affecting Google Search Results, and many SEOs are feeling the effects for their clients, who are disconnected from the social world. The complexity of marketing your business on Google is rising as search success becomes increasingly intertwined with your social media presence and how you interact with your customers.
Your website content and external links are no longer enough to gain Google’s trust. Publishing fresh content on your site means nothing if no one is reading it — and it means even less if no one is sharing it to their social networks. As a business, your primary marketing goal is always to generate leads. Leads are certainly generated from dominating search results — but what if I told you that a solid content marketing strategy could get you leads, even if it didn’t result in #1 rankings right away?...

This is an ode to a data visualization I found on my box of tea. It's a perfect reminder of how we sometimes get carried away as marketers, especially as our tools make visualization easier.
...I’m not attacking the company that made this, and I’m not going to “out” them here – their product is actually pretty great. I just want to use this visualization to illustrate some of the wrong ways to do things, in hopes that we can all raise our game a bit.
But It’s So Pretty! I admit – the earth tones are nice, and it’s not entirely unappealing. I guess, for a moment, it made me feel better about shelling out $11 for an ounce-and-a-half of leaves. Maybe that’s even good marketing, although I really doubt this 1” tall graphic on the back of the box has ever swayed anyone’s decision. I’m not trying to say that it’s an ugly picture. The problem is that it’s a pleasant distraction disguised as meaningful data.
The job of a data-visualization is to communicate an idea better than the raw data itself could. Of course, that also implies that there’s actual data behind the visualization. So, how do we get it wrong?...

...Today, your jaded, hard-drinking, courtroom-loitering newsman could just as well be represented on the silver-screen by an enthusiastic bookworm-like computer geek. This is thanks to a new form of reporting known as "data journalism." Data journalism crept into modern media through the back door. You may not even have noticed. ...Even if it's not neatly stored in databases, it's often regurgitated into paper-based or PDF reports that can be accessed, sometimes through Freedom of Information Act requests. The data can then be cleaned, scanned, and converted into organized databases. Then it can be sorted into usable intelligence about a particular subject, limited only by the analyst's -- or data journalist's -- creativity....

There are only so many words a human brain can process before the overload buzzer goes off (unless you’re Stephen Hawking). Which brings us to the infographic.
