Data storytelling involves data analysis, statistics, visualization, and presentation to create a compelling, easy-to-understand, and persuasive storyline. So, how can this narrative also influence business decisions and actions?
As a leading research and analytics veteran, Christine Lawrence understands how data storytelling clarifies complex issues, making them more accessible to decision-makers. Analytics departments cover all content-consuming media such as TV, streaming channels, and social media platforms. These teams must understand what drives viewership, as this information helps them determine how specific information is distributed. Data storytelling can also identify trends and patterns that affect commercial placements and company sponsorships. While data storytelling is not a panacea, it is imperative to critically evaluate data stories and consider the potential for bias before making data-based decisions.
In this episode of WRK & WIN, Corinne Milien speaks with Christine Lawrence, former Senior Director of Insights and Analytics at World Wrestling Entertainment, about data storytelling. Christine shares what attracted her to data-driven storytelling, why analytics is essential for content consumption and distribution, and how her leadership style inspires team productivity.
