3. Infographics – A versatile, flexible, hard working business tool
What’s important to remember with infographics is that they can work for you in
so many different ways.
As long as your content / data story is relevant AND strong enough, infographics
can be employed in multiple business comms situations – whether they be internal
or external.
5. In this document, by giving real
executed examples of infographics, I
will explain how valuable a modern
business tool infographics are.
Lets explore more ……..
7. Infographics have the power to
stimulate your audience. By presenting
ideas more efficiently, it gives your
business or organisation the power to
better communicate specific concepts,
complex processes and / or business
results.
Ultimately giving a greater
understanding of what you want to
communicate.

9. Infographics are not only about communicating your content story to others, but
can help you understand your own data.
Using visual cues, infographics can help you discover and understand inherent
relationships in your data activity.
You may have a business decision to make, a need to review recent results, or a
organisational structure to review – data visualisation can really help you
understand the situation.

13. "In an organisation with as many different divisions internally as we have, using
infographics to communicate our business activities is a great way to share with the
whole team internally what is happening in our industry and the results we are
seeing. Breaking away from the standard presentation tools we have used in the
past really helps everyone engage with, and be excited about, what we are doing.“

Client Insight, Christie’s

15. There are massive possibilities of bringing infographics into your external comms
strategy.
We have seen a huge growth in infographic use within PR, to either work alongside
a press release or replace the written word with a visual.
Infographics are also strong in giving your audience a soft introduction to what is
otherwise a heavy subject matter, such as a full report or industry white paper.
