We’re an editorial directory of infographic and data-visualization studios. We don’t sell placement — every studio in the directory got there by being good at the work, and the only way in is the same scorecard everyone else passed.
If you run a studio and you think you’d hold up to the brief — read what we look for, then send us your work. We respond to every application within five business days, even if the answer is no.
What we look for.
- Portfolio depth. A body of published infographic, dataviz, or explainer work — not pitch decks, not generic illustration. We need to see how you think about data, narrative, and density.
- Editorial fluency. Evidence you’ve handled the regulatory, sourcing, or accuracy demands of a real industry — public sector, healthcare, finance, energy, or similar. Decoration isn’t the bar; comprehension is.
- Three independent client references. People we can email. Not testimonials on your site — actual clients who’ll get on a call and tell us what working with you was like.
- Response time. If we send you a brief on Monday, we expect a real reply by Wednesday. Studios that ghost don’t stay listed.
- Pricing transparency. You don’t have to publish rates, but you do have to give clients a real number on the first call. No “it depends” theatre.
- Client retention. Repeat-client revenue is the single best signal that the work is good. We’ll ask.
What we don’t do.
- We don’t take payment for listings. There’s no “featured” tier, no sponsored slot, no top-of-page upgrade. Ranking is editorial.
- We don’t list every applicant. The scorecard is the scorecard. If you don’t clear it this year, you’re welcome to reapply next.
- We don’t broker contracts. When we match a client to a studio, the relationship is between you and them — we’re paid a referral fee by the studio only if a brief signs, never by the client.
How to apply.
Email hello@infographicsagency.com with the subject line “Listing application — [your studio name]” and include:
- Studio name, website, and the country/region you primarily work from.
- Three to five published examples — direct links, not a deck. Tell us briefly what the brief was and what changed because of the work.
- Industries you’ve shipped in (e.g. healthcare, energy, fintech) and any you’d like to be matched on.
- Three client references — name, role, company, and an email we can use. We’ll only contact them if the application clears the first read.
- Your typical project pricing range and how you handle out-of-scope changes.
We read every application. We respond to every application. If it’s a yes, we’ll confirm within ten business days and walk you through the listing brief. If it’s a no, we’ll tell you which part of the scorecard we couldn’t get past so you know what to work on.
