Data storytelling builds compelling narratives that have a basis in complex data and analytics: these will help tell the story, which in turn will influence and inform a particular audience.

Data storytelling provides deeper insights and supporting evidence for given hypotheses through visualisations like graphs and charts. It can simplify complicated information so your audience can engage with your content and make critical decisions quicker and more confidently.
