About

An editorial directory of infographic and data visualization studios.

Infographics Agency was founded in 2012 as a London-based design studio, producing infographic and data visualization work for CNN, the World Economic Forum, Kantar Media, EMC, eBay, Lundbeck, and others. In 2026 we relaunched as an independent directory — vetting the world’s best infographic studios, and matching marketing teams to the right one for their brief.

Why this exists.

Hiring an infographic studio is hard. The good ones don’t market themselves loudly. The loud ones often aren’t the good ones. Marketing teams end up either picking from a Google ad result, or relying on whoever a colleague used three years ago.

We’ve spent a decade in this category — first making the work, now reviewing it. The studios we recommend are studios we’d hire ourselves.

What we vet for.

Every studio in the directory is scored on a public methodology. A studio is not added until they pass on every dimension:

• Portfolio strength. At least three pieces of recent, published work that hold up under design scrutiny — not just brief case-study summaries.
• Independent client references. Three references we contact directly, on questions about responsiveness, scope discipline, and final-output quality.
• Pricing transparency. Studios willing to commit to a budget band before scoping. No “depends on the project” pricing pages.
• Response time. First response within one business day to a real brief. Studios who take a week to reply don’t make it.
• Industry depth. At least one piece of published work in each industry they claim to serve.

How we make money.

The directory is free to use. There is no paywall, no email-gated content, no sponsored placement. Studios pay us a referral fee only when a brief we sent results in a signed contract — never charged to the client, never affecting the client’s pricing.

If a studio’s referral fee influenced our editorial verdict, we’d be a worse directory and a worse business. So it doesn’t. The shortlists, scoring, and pros/cons reflect our judgment alone. We’ve turned away studios willing to pay above the standard rate when their work didn’t meet the bar.

Who runs this.

Infographics Agency is run by a small editorial team with a combined 15+ years in infographic and data visualization production. The original studio worked with publishers and brands across the UK and EU between 2012 and 2024 — including CNN, the World Economic Forum, Kantar Media, EMC, and Lundbeck. The directory continues that editorial perspective, now applied to vetting the studios doing this work today rather than producing it ourselves.
