For marketing teams

Marketing infographics — the recap that gets forwarded, not filed

Campaign results, funnels and channel splits as sheets that move — ready before the meeting they were meant for, in your own colours, and sized for the feed they are going into.

What people make here

Three marketing infographics people make here

  • Campaign recaps

    What you did, what happened, and the week that actually did the work.

  • Funnels and targets

    Every stage to scale, so a drop-off is obvious instead of arguable.

  • Newsletters and posts

    A link that plays inside the email, the post or the page it lands in.

The format

What is a marketing infographic?

A marketing infographic is one sheet carrying a single marketing point — a campaign result, a funnel, a channel split, a set of survey findings — in a form somebody takes in before they have decided to read anything. It is where campaign recaps, launch results, research write-ups and repurposed blog posts end up, because all of those share a problem: the work is finished, the numbers exist, and nobody is opening the deck.

Three jobs account for almost all of them. Summarising figures you already have — campaign results, a survey, a benchmark. Breaking a process into steps — a funnel, a customer journey, an onboarding sequence. And repurposing something long that already exists, which is the one that pays best, because the thinking and the writing are already done. What the format will not do is rescue a weak point: a sheet is a compression, and compressing an argument that was not there in the first place only makes the gap easier to see.

The five types marketing work keeps coming back to

Marketing reaches for a wider range than most departments, because the work produces results, sequences and rankings all at once. Pick by what the data is doing, not by which layout looks best.

  • Statistical infographics

    Campaign results, survey findings, a benchmark. One headline figure with the supporting numbers ranked beneath it, and the sample size and period left visible — the two things marketing sheets drop most often.

  • Comparison infographics

    The A/B test, this quarter against last, plan against actual, one channel against another. Same rows in every column, including the row where the result went against you.

  • Process infographics

    The funnel, the customer journey, the launch sequence. Numbered stages with one action each, drawn to scale so a drop-off is obvious rather than arguable.

  • Timeline infographics

    A campaign week by week, a launch, a year of releases. Dated events on a spine, with the week that actually did the work marked rather than buried.

  • List infographics

    The ranked listicle — channels in order, tips, takeaways from a long post. The format that travels furthest on social, and the easiest one to pad, so rank the items rather than merely counting them.

Common questions

What is a marketing infographic?

One sheet that carries a single marketing point — a campaign result, a funnel, a channel split, a set of findings — in a form somebody can take from a feed or a slide without committing to reading. The three usual jobs are summarising figures you already have, breaking a process such as a funnel into steps, and repurposing a long piece of content into something that can be scanned.

How do you make a marketing infographic?

Start from the result rather than from a layout. Decide the one sentence the sheet has to land — “paid search cost us four times what the newsletter did” is a sheet, “Q3 marketing update” is not. Then paste the figures, or the post, or a link to it, and a first draft comes back with the numbers already placed and a chart chosen from the shape of the data. The part no tool does for you is the cut: one argument per sheet, the source and the period on the sheet rather than in the caption.

Can I turn a blog post into an infographic?

Yes, and it is the highest-return version of this — the research is already done and the piece is already published, so you are adding a distribution format rather than starting work. Paste the URL and the article is read, summarised and composed; there is a page here on exactly that. It works best on posts that were already list-shaped or data-shaped, and badly on nuanced argument, which loses the thing that made it worth reading.

Where can I find free marketing infographic templates?

There are eight editable templates here — statistics, timeline, process, comparison, report, list, breakdown and social — rather than a catalogue of thousands. If browsing a big library is how you like to start, Canva and Adobe Express are genuinely better at that and it is worth saying so. The catch with a marketing template specifically is that it was laid out around somebody else’s campaign: five channels when you ran three, a funnel with the wrong number of stages. Describing what you actually have is usually quicker than bending a layout back into shape.

Can I get a marketing infographic in PowerPoint?

Not as an editable .pptx — there is no PowerPoint export here. A sheet made on this site goes onto a slide as a PNG, which is usually what you want for a recap anyway, because it stays exactly as it was composed instead of being reflowed by the slide editor. Choose the wide shape before it composes and it lands at 16:9 with nothing cropped. If you need the deck itself to be editable, build it in a deck tool and drop the sheet in.

Do infographics actually work for marketing?

Treat the numbers you will see quoted with some suspicion. The familiar figures — the traffic uplifts, the share multiples, the percentage of B2B marketers using them — mostly trace back to vendor surveys, several are more than a decade old, and they are cited by the companies selling the format. We are one of those companies, so weigh this accordingly. The defensible version is narrower: a sheet outperforms a paragraph when the point is comparative or numerical, when the reader is scrolling rather than reading, and when the underlying finding is genuinely interesting. It does nothing for a point nobody wanted.

What is the 3-3-3 rule in marketing?

It is a focusing heuristic, usually given as three core messages, three audience segments and three channels — though the versions in circulation disagree, some substituting content types, buyer stages or metrics for one of the threes. It is not an infographic rule and it has no formal source. The part worth carrying across is the discipline: a sheet making three claims is read, and a sheet making nine is skimmed and forgotten.

Can I use our brand colours and logo?

Yes — save a brand kit with your colours, typeface and logo and everything made afterwards is drawn in it, so a quarter of campaign recaps and social posts reads as one account rather than fifteen unrelated images. Brand kits are a paid feature, and the upper plans hold several for agencies and teams working across brands.

What size should a marketing infographic be?

Work in proportions rather than pixels: 4:5 for Instagram and LinkedIn, 1:1 when one post goes several places, 16:9 for X and slides, 9:16 for stories, 3:4 for Pinterest and long scrolling pages. You pick the shape before the sheet composes, so it is built for that frame instead of cropped into it. The social media infographic page goes platform by platform.

Is it free to try?

Yes. The free plan needs no card and is exactly one infographic to try — enough to run last month’s campaign figures through it and judge the output. The download is standard quality and a small badge sits in the footer. Paid plans go from about 80 pieces a month upward and add brand kits, editing by asking, best-quality downloads and removal of the badge.
