Being Digital:How to add object to #INFOGR.AM

Inserting objects

There are two places where you can find objects to add to a project:
both navigations
  1. The navigation bar on the right side. You can add the following items: charts, maps, text, photos, media and integrations from other data sources and Google Analytics.
  2. The inline navigation. To find it, hover over any free space on the project’s workspace. The same elements can be found there. Use the inline navigation if you want to add an element in a specific place of the workspace.

Charts

add chart
Start by clicking on the chart icon on either one of the navigation bars.
add chart
This will open a window where you’ll find a list of charts. The charts are grouped based on their chart type.
Click on any of the chart types to see all of the charts that belong to that group.
To add the one you want, just click on the image.

 Maps

add a map
The map selector works in a similar fashion – on the left you have a large list of available maps and on the right you can see an image of what the map actually looks like. Find the right one either by browsing through the list or searching by keyword, for instance USA (regions) or Canada.

Images

add video search
Click on the camera icon. The image selector will open on the left side of the page.
From there, you can :
  1. Add video and images from YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, SlideShare and more. Enter a keyword and the system will search for a relevant image.
  2. You can also paste a direct link to the media you want to add.
Switch the to the From file tab to upload your own images.
drag drop images
To add files from your computer or device, you can either browse your computer, or drag and drop a file into the upload dialogue.
If you’re going to work with a lot of files, it’s useful to upload them to the library. This way you won’t have to browse your computer every time you need an image. If you’re using a Basic account, you’ll be able to upload up to 10 images. To get more space, upgrade to any of our premium plans.
To add the selected image to your project:
  1. Double-click to add it to the bottom of the workspace.
  2. Drag and drop it where you want it.

Text

add text copy
To add a text object:
  1. Click on the text icon.
  2. Choose the type of text you want: title, header, quote, body text, timer or facts & figures.
  3. To insert the text object, click on the image or on the ”Insert” button.

Video

add media
To add video:
  1. Click on the video icon.
  2. Search for videos on YouTube or Vimeo, or paste a link.

WHAT THEY DON'T TEACH YOU AT IIM'S

I had the opportunity to visit one of the IIM campuses last month. I asked the first year pgp students how much of digital marketing was being taught in their Marketing program.  I noticed my question made them a tad uncomfortable. The same question when posed to a recent graduate from a top IIM revealed  a similar response.  To my surprise, the digital marketing coverage was either not present in sufficient depth or not treated well enough to leave an impact.   If I were to visit the the campus for recruitment, summer or final, I probably wouldn't be  interested in marketing folks if they didnt understand the basics of  paid search advertising, social media marketing, seo, analytics and the likes. In fact, unless the candidate is unable to engage in a reasonable conversation   about designing ad campaigns, analyzing advertising ROI, concept of quality scores, budgeting for CPC vs CPM or the advanced tactics of remarketing or dynamic adve...
