Visual Storytelling with Data
Our team digs deep into the data (whether that be climate trends or internal process data) and create a range of visual products that turn complexity into clarity.
Long-Term Value
Visual storytelling with data means unearthing a compelling story (or set of stories) in a mixed quantitative and qualitative data set. Philanthropies are sitting on treasure troves of unused data that are rich with stories.
When we work together to ask burning questions of the data we have and bring stories to life visually and in invigorating ways, our clients see persistent problems or opportunities more clearly which leads to seismic shifts in thinking and practice.
While many philanthropies hire external consultants to create visual storytelling products that get used once or twice despite heavy investment, we work with your team to co-(collectively) create processes and products that you will continue to use for many years after our engagement. Even more, we bring the latest innovations in visual storytelling with data to bear that tap into all of your senses and actually work for your team.
