About us

We apply digital technologies to solve creative challenges

We offer an alternative to old habits. Sapera is the place where people from all over the world come together to work towards finding the solutions of tomorrow.

What we do

We take on communicative, creative, and business challenges using packaged services which we offer in a new manner – in modules and at fixed prices. With us, you can shop for a brand design system online almost as easily as you can buy clothes. And because we employ standardization and automation, our customers benefit from a new level of process quality: they can view and manage the progress of their projects at any time using tools to inform themselves. In doing so, our data-informed approach not only leads to meaningful efficiency and makes scalability a reality – we also learn important lessons from the data. Where others still make decisions based on gut feelings, we take an evidence-based approach. Sapera is also no agency in the classical sense, but rather a place where creative experts from around the world work seamlessly together. This connectivity results not only in new forms of community, but also in complex teams which solve complex problems. Simply.

Our history

First getting to the bottom of complex relationships, then graduating to larger formats, and now developing an entirely new approach – the Sapera way.

2007 - 2012

Setting benchmarks with infographics

The world was growing increasingly complex and Jan Schwochow recognized that one could explain it especially well through infographics. He founded Golden Section Graphics – and, together with his team, won his first prestigious awards (Malofiej, ADC, SND). A partnership for an infographics section in ZEIT magazine was launched, with the New York Times also buying our visualizations. And we animated Germany’s key economic indicators for a business summit with Angela Merkel.

2012 - 2017

Developing new formats

We not only contributed to numerous series such as Baedeker’s 100+1 Fakten and Reclam’s 100 Seiten – we also published our own book: The Global Economy as You’ve Never Seen It became a bestseller. We produced digital “scrollytellings” for clients including ARTE, and we turned the Berlin Wall back into new experience using augmented reality. In order to do justice to our own diversity, we renamed ourselves as the Infographics Group.

2017 – present

Making complexity work

We develop system solutions in order to better take on creative challenges. Using our illustration and data visualization systems, companies such as Lufthansa can now easily design their messages in-house – flexibly and in compliance with their brand. We supplement our offering with products from the fields of branding, data, and change, and grow our team with software developers, strategists, data scientists, and editors. In 2020, we are taking a decisive step through the more consistent use of new methods, technologies, and data. The Infographics Group has been renamed Sapera – the place where creative experts from all over the world work together to effectively solve the challenges of tomorrow.

Management team

Our many years of experience gained working in agencies and consulting firms have shown us one thing above all: it is high time we paved a new way. So we cut loose the old habits and developed Sapera. The place where customers and experts can work together without hurdles, because we offer the right infrastructure for it and we constantly develop it further. Always driven by technology and informed by data.
