Marketing and comms
Datastory helps communications, marketing and reporting teams publish company data as interactive charts, maps and stories for your website, your social channels, your presentations and your annual report. No data team, no design agency.
The opportunity
Businesses publish more data than they get credit for. Annual and sustainability reports, market studies, customer insight, operational figures that say something about the wider economy. Nearly all of it arrives as a PDF, where it gets filed rather than read. Datastory turns those numbers into pages, posts and presentations that customers, investors and journalists take in.
Thought leadership needs something nobody else has, and your own data is exactly that. Original numbers get read, quoted and covered by reporters, and they keep earning attention long after a campaign stops running.
Business data usually carries several dimensions at once: size, spread, risk, change over time. A table asks the reader to hold all of them in their head. Animation and annotation let a single chart carry the lot and still be understood at a glance.
The same chart works embedded on a website, exported as an animating GIF for social, or as a static image in a report. Build it once and it travels wherever the story goes.
Your annual reporting has the potential to boost brand perception and highlight industry trends, but its potential usually stays untapped in a PDF. The same numbers, published as visual stories, reach the customers, investors and future employees.
Use cases
Four capabilities that take you from a dataset to published material your market reads, shares and refers back to.
Data visualization
Annotate the moment the trend turned. Animate a change over time. Apply your own fonts and colors so the chart stays recognizable to your brand wherever it gets shared.
Open Data Catalog
Your emissions curve or your market data lands harder beside national and global statistics. Eurostat, OECD and WHO datasets are already in the platform, ready to chart alongside your own.
AI & Insights
Get recommendations for the strongest stories in your dataset, with captions and annotations to match. Useful when the report contains hundreds of stats and you need to choose what to highlight.
Linked data
An annual report or a recurring study builds authority by coming back consistently. Define your metrics once and the next edition is an update rather than a rebuild.
