Graphic Recording in Action: Use Cases That Drive Impact
Internal Meetings
Some meetings need more than a spiral notebook. Whether it’s a strategy session, corporate restructure, annual board retreat, or new product concepting, graphic recording keeps the team on track. Ideas and discussions are memorialized, and attendees leave aligned and inspired, with clear action steps and owners.
Pitch Sessions
Stand out in pitch sessions with ImageThink’s in-person and remote graphic recording services. By combining sketchnoting with your messaging, our graphic recorders ensure your pitch resonates and remains memorable.
Experiential Activations
Drive attention and engagement with live graphic recordings at your events. Whether it’s a tradeshow booth, conference sponsorship activation, or company retreat, these visual experiences serve as brand amplifiers, sparking interaction through sketchnoting and visual storytelling that capture the energy of your activation.
Global Meetings and Conferences
Ideas move fast—and the most important insights can get lost in the noise. ImageThink captures key themes in real time through graphic recording—recognized at SXSW and Cannes Lions (including Best PR Activation and Best Tradeshow Booth)—turning complex conversations into a clear visual story everyone can follow. Our digital imageboards socialize these ideas beyond the event, so that ideas travel farther than the room.

TRUSTED BY
The final deliverables from ImageThink are not only beautiful, they will be highly useful visual artifacts to help the workshop participants continue to develop new projects and areas of research.
It was an absolute pleasure working with the ImageThink team from start to finish! The live graphic recording of our breakout discussions added an extremely engaging (and fun!) element to our virtual workshop.
Nora’s visualization at the end was amazing – keep doing that for future customer interactions, because I’ve never seen that before and was a cool way to end the session.
The image assets were outstanding and will be great artifact for our Product Managers moving forward.
Our campus constituents are very excited about the work that has taken place between JSU and ImageThink. So much so that departments are still asking about the services and how they can use the services. I make a referral at least once a week and sometimes more.
Graphic Recording FAQs: How Visual Storytelling Works
Graphic recording is the real-time translation of conversations or presentations into text
and pictures. Graphic recorders, or visual strategists, use sketchnoting and visual note taking to create illustrations that help people absorb, connect with, and build off of information.
Graphic recording increases engagement and memory-retention for the participants. Many people are visual learners, and studies indicate that people remember more information when combined with visuals, especially using mnemonic devices, than via spoken word alone.
A skilled graphic recorder will synthesize all of the group’s contributions into a coherent visual while revealing connections between ideas that might otherwise have gone unnoticed. This practice promotes creative thinking, collaboration and deeper engagement by creating a collective vision (literally).
Graphic facilitation leverages visuals to design effective meeting agendas, engage attendees, synthesize ideas, and guide participants toward their goal. ImageThink graphic recorders are skilled meeting facilitators that help organizations of all sizes optimize the time, creativity, and energy of their team to make an impact.
At ImageThink, we price our graphic recording services according to the nature of your engagement – whether it’s an internal meeting or public conference, for example – and how much support you need. Staffing, time, and materials are all factors in our rate card. Get in touch to discuss how we can help bring your biggest ideas to the surface and we’ll provide you with a custom quote.
