If you want examples of innovative info graphics then you co= uld check out Edward Tufte's print work.  He's kind of a big deal. &nb= sp;I've enjoyed looking through his books but I don't find them quite relev= ant enough to the corporate motion graphics I do to justify their hefty pri= ce.  He's very clever but I'm not sure he's a practical influence on m= otion graphics - I guess that's a personal thing though.  His website = is here, YMMV:

http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/in= dex

In terms of corporate motion graphics, most of= what I have seen in the last few years can be traced back to one of three = sources:

Stranger than fiction (3D camera tracking, compositing into the scene)
http://www.arto= fthetitle.com/title/stranger-than-fiction/
http://www.youtube.com= /watch?v=3DS5wUNKiu8j4

The Crisis of Credit Visual= ised (clients seem to love this one)
http://www.youtube.com/watch= ?v=3Dbx_LWm6_6tA

Social Media Revolution (there a = many versions of this, I don't know which one is the original)
ht= tp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D3SuNx0UrnEo

And in = addition, the opening titles to "The Kingdom" are great, it feels like a co= mplex motion graphics piece but if you analyse it carefully much of the imp= act comes from excellent audio and video editing, the graphics are relative= ly minimal:
http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-kingdom/
=

I'm not suggesting you adopt the style of one of those = videos, only that they're popular and easy to sell to clients.

There was an Australian TV show called "= Hungry Beast" that featured extensive motion graphics, and I can't think of= another TV show where motion graphics were so strongly linked to the show'= s identity and style.  They have a YouTube page, but you have to sift = through the videos to find the motion graphics clips.  The "Google" on= e they did went viral but there are many others worth watching too:
