An infographic can be a great way for small to midsize ad agencies to communicate their unique position in the marketplace.
Infographics is derived from two words: ‘information’ and ‘graphics’, and stands for the graphical representation of data and information.

I love that the 7 steps to creating an infographic are done in an infographic format. I think that an advertising agency that can add this as part of their repertoire is going to be effective. It’s more visually appealing to see words with graphics, and I assume most of the world is that way. I am more apt to read things that look nice, which is why they can be so effective in online advertising.
Excellent content. If an ad agency is using it, then I need to implement it.
The concept of an infographic is fine, but too often the execution is amateurish and little more than a compilation of “chart junk.” That term is from Edward Tufte, the godfather of serious information design. Anyone doing infographics should get familiar with his work and follow his guidance.
Really, a graph with percentages on the production process? I agree with David, the concept is fine, but it should help make a complex idea simpler, not the other way around. The more you add, the more likely it is that you’re going to lose your audience.
David, Randy, thanks for the additional insights. I do like the concept of using infographics that will build awareness for an agency. Of course it needs to create a positive awareness!
