The company caters to a broad range of clients but focuses on one need: building one’s business with infographics. This unique focus allows them to capitalize on this growing trend while keeping costs low and profits high.

The reputation of company has allowed them to create infographics for white pages, Microsoft, Fabric World Wide, NBC, Visa and more.
In 2009, the company focused on building websites for online lead generation. By June 2010, the partners quit their day jobs, to work full time to improve its SEO presence and the team started creating infographics. After seeing their immense success and acknowledging that there was not a proper online gallery for infographics, the team focused on creating infographics for others.
The company began as a user generated infographic gallery, in which the owners evangelized infographics and built a reputation as experts in the industry. By the end of September, 2010 orders began to come in requesting that the team design infographics, not just critique them. The company hired 2 freelance designers and the team began designing infographics on a small scale. The two partners split duties. One landed clients and one managed the projects and designers. By January 2011, the company had honed their process and decided to focus infographics. They hired on a few more designers and revved up from 15 infographics per month to 30 to 40. A few months later, after hiring an in-house editor and further honing their process, they revved up more by taking on 50 to 60 infographics per month.
To further grow profits, the team brought infographic research in-house, where they could produce it for half the cost of paying a designer to do it. They also added an infographic promotion package and content generation to their suite of services. This boosted their margins from 50% to 65% plus. In June 2011, the team hired more designers and began taking on more clients. By August 2011, they grew to 80 infographics per month, a few steady content focused clients and a handful of promotions per month. The team now has 8 in-house contractors and 6 freelance designers, bringing in over $52,000. for November 2011. Currently testing video
infographics for two clients.
