NEW YORK, Oct.1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --With the concept of content marketing skyrocketing over the past several years, small businesses now have a greater opportunity to create informative content that helps to solidify their brand and spread their message. If done well, one such form of content - infographics - takes the best of text, multimedia and design to create a visual shorthand that tells a story that begs to be shared. However, even the best infographic won't get off the ground if it's pitched to the wrong publication or website.
