Data Storytelling: Utilizing Consumer
Insights to Shape Stories That Matter
Data storytelling connects two worlds, the formulaicand the creative, by communication
and a business intelligence dashboard. A business intelligence dashboard is a graphical
user interface that provides at-a-glance views of key performance indicators relevant to
a particular business process and data visualization tools, and it's slowly becoming an
integral part of all businesses.
Due to advancements in technology, there has been significant growth in business data.
As a result, storytelling is fast becoming the most effective way to reach people.
Storytelling is the new way to get consumers and the answers they need about you and
your business. It's also becoming a vital element of a strong campaign, and stories are
a proven medium for teaching, explaining, and influencing. That's why data storytelling
is necessary as the storytellers convert complex datasets into full and meaningful
information, rich with visualizations that guide business moves.
What Is Data Storytelling?
Data storytelling is a communication technique that uses data as the guiding source. It
involves creating stories or narratives around data, allowing brands to capture attention
and ensure that their insights are well received, retained, and acted upon, focusing
squarely on their target audience. Data storytelling depends mostly on how well you use
the stories, visuals, subjects, and creativity to make it compelling and relevant to the
audience. It involves the following three components:
● Data: Data storytelling requires you to have up-to-date information and accurate
data. Data being the raw material of any narrative, once collected, it's processed
and analyzed to derive statistics and actionable insights, creating a meaningful,
compelling story for decision-makers.
● Visuals: Visualization is a way to share data accurately, uncover trends and
convey them. Visualizations help discover underlying trends and patterns in
complex datasets. The insights extracted are graphically represented using
charts, graphs, and other visual elements to convey the information. The trends
and insights are then communicated to help businesses make decisions quickly.
● Narrative: Narrativeis the final and most significantpart of storytelling. It helps the
audience to understand the business. It also helps boost decision-making,
changes, influential trends, key performance indicators, and metrics.
Effectiveness of data storytelling
Storytelling cuts through the noise. Media platforms and SEO are overwhelmed by the
large volume of content published every day in the current markets. In addition to this,
consumers are using more platforms and devices than before. This indicates that they
are constantlybeing facedwith many contents to consume, and users want more original
content grounded in insights that make it relevant to them.
Stories also resonate on a human level. Telling meaningful stories is the modern way of
marketing. That's why over the last 30 years, there has been a shift away from
explanatory marketing, feature-led messaging, and advertising.
Why Do You Need Data Storytelling
Data storytelling is one of the most exciting ways to share your data, analytics, and
complex information and has many benefits for your business. The process consists of
the following layers: data collection, preparation, analysis, presentation, and analytics.
The first process involves collecting data and preparing it for analysis. The data is then
used to interpret deep insights from business intelligence dashboards using data
analysis. After the research is done, data is translated into a format that is consumable
by the decision-makers in the data presentation or data modeling stage. The final part
of deployment involves collaboration and data consumption. Business users share and
consume the insights generated from data to understand and act on the data. Data
storytelling also plays an invaluable role in communicating the insights and helping
business users to understand and serve on their data better.
Adopting Data Storytelling Technique in Business
Businesses across all industries collect and gather data and information from social
media platforms, photography, and their processes in analytics reports. The collected
data can be used to analyze existing and new trends to make informed decisions.
Adopting data storytelling techniques enables businesses to understand where their
organization has been, its current position, and its future. Through storytelling,
companies can quickly grasp the most remarkable highlights from their data and clarify
future steps to be taken. It transforms the way an organization functions and leads to
improved business outcomes adding purpose and meaning to insights that make it easy
for businesses to process complex business information.
Benefits of data storytelling:
1. Boosts communication: With data storytelling, companies and businesses can
collect and analyze data and then present insights to comprehend narratives and
visuals. Visuals demonstrate better the value of their services and build a lasting
connection with their clients and stakeholders.
2. Createsvisual appeal: Data-driven storytelling uses charts, graphs, and narratives
to communicate the insights to the end-user.
3. Improves processes with plotting: Businesses can outline the plot from data-
driven stories and create a framework by taking into account reports and aligning
them with their overall organizational strategy and goals to improve the
productivity and efficiency of their processes.
What Is Data-Driven Storytelling?
Data storytelling is the ability to blend complex data into easy-to-read and understand
stories that help us turn insights into action and craft an engaging narrative anchored by
facts.
Data-driven storytelling offers a valuable tool that presents the data and adds context,
meaning, relevance, and clarity to help the audience interpret it and extract value. Here
are some benefits of using data storytelling as a communication tool:
● Data-driven storytelling is versatile and can be incorporated in external and
internal communication channels, such as annual reports, brochures, website
content, case studies, presentations, videos, and social media posts.
● By using numbers and facts, you can anchor your claims and increase the
credibility of your content, building trust with your audience and encouraging
them to take action.
● Data stories crafted with internal and proprietary data help you stand out and
capture attention. The original insights, valuable perspectives, and unexpected
angles allow you to cut through the clutter in a world full of regurgitated content.
● Data stories add value by assigning data meaning and context so the audience
can connect the dots and turn numbers into insights that they can use to facilitate
decision-making and spur actions.
● Graphical data elements increase the chances of high-profile publications or
influencers picking up your content, helping you generate awareness and reach
new audiences.
● Various techniques, such as interactive data visualization, can further foster
engagement with the audience, for example, by guiding them to conclude or
explore the part of the data story that's most relevant to them.
Data Is Everywhere
Data visualization and data storytelling with data is an indispensable tool for internal and
external communications. It supports your ideas with facts adding credibility to your
audience to increase information and inspire action.
You were wondering where to get data? Thanks to various technologies, it can be found
everywhere you look as we can collect information from multiple sources. Data can also
be collected from internal sources such as website analytics, research, insights, or
external sources such as industry forums, brand videos, Google Trends, social media
videos, and reports from researchorganizations. By combining trusted data sources with
a compelling narrative, unique insights, understanding your audience's needs, and
effective data visualization techniques, you can craft engaging data stories to support
your idea, reach your business goals and enhance your content.
