Their infographic on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/the_slatest\/2015\/10\/06\/syrian_conflict_relationships_explained.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">complex web of relationships<\/a> in the Syrian conflict was a great way of simplifying an eye-watering complicated affair.\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16750 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image10.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"707\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image10.png 707w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image10-150x88.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/a> [<a href=\"https:\/\/www.slate.com\/blogs\/the_slatest\/2015\/10\/06\/syrian_conflict_relationships_explained.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a>]\r\n\r\nThe visualization used a grid of emoticons to break the various political relationships down into categories of friends, enemies, and \u201cit\u2019s complicated.\u201d Therefore, readers could use the handy grid system to cross-reference how different players in the civil war-related to each other. Also, a pop-up would offer a text summary of each group\u2019s role in the conflict by clicking on each emoticon.\r\n\r\nThe Slate data visualization was an ingenious way to show the contradictions of the situation. For example, the US and allies are friends with Iraq, even though Iraq is friendly with the Syrian government, which the US opposes. We told you it was complicated! But, Slate\u2019s Syria infographic made such complexities accessible to the average reader.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image5.png\">\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16745 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"713\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image5.png 713w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image5-150x108.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><\/a>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Podio_Great_Minds_Dont_Think_Alike\"><\/span>Podio: Great Minds Don&#8217;t Think Alike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nThis infographic from Podio nailed it. We are all fascinated by how famous creative artists from history produced such fantastic work. They color-coded the daily routines of great artists into a handy reference grid. By doing so, it is easy to compare the routines of figures as diverse as Mozart, Dickens, and Benjamin Franklin.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image1.png\">\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16741 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1157\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image1.png 1157w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image1-150x70.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1157px) 100vw, 1157px\" \/><\/a>\r\n[<a href=\"https:\/\/podio.com\/site\/creative-routines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a>]\r\n\r\nThe above chart is an excellent example of using data visualizations to tell a compelling visual story.

Or, more specifically, the sun&#8217;s the limit. Energy research organization Austria Solar drew on their own USP to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/gallery\/2986075\/The-Solar-Annual-Report-powered-by-the-sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">data visualization video<\/a> that would be viewed over 100,000 views on Vimeo.\r\n\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Austria Solar Annual Report, powered by the sun\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/35691920?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\"><\/iframe>\r\n\r\nThe innovative tech company produced an annual report on special solar paper. But, the best thing is that this paper only displayed its content when exposed to direct sunlight.\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16743 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fusioncharts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image3.jpg 600w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/image3-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\r\n[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.behance.net\/gallery\/2986075\/The-Solar-Annual-Report-powered-by-the-sun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a>]\r\n\r\nThis combination of data visualization, cutting-edge solar tech, and savvy press stunt is out of the budgetary reach of many marketers. However, it stands as an awe-inspiring example of data visualization possibilities to craft compelling stories that resonate with our curiosity.\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\nWhat do these examples tell us about how to boost our storytelling prowess through data visualizations?\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_All_About_the_Execution\"><\/span>It&#8217;s All About the Execution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n<p>If we look at the Ryan Robinson example, it&#8217;s the level of thought and detail that went into his freelancer rate calculation infographic that knocked it out of the park. After carefully breaking down the steps involved in calculating earnings, he set about presenting them in a visually engaging way. Furthermore, his use of beautiful artwork helped turn his points into something tangible (and shareable). Also, you should consider using a free infographic creation tool like Venngage, Visme or Canva to transform your content into a compelling visual story.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With the rise of automation, marketers now have access to advanced tools that simplify design even further. An <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/ai-tools\/infographic-generator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI infographic Generator<\/a> can help you quickly turn complex data into polished, shareable graphics with no design skills required. This makes it easier to focus on storytelling while the technology handles the visuals.<\/p>\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contextualize_the_Data\"><\/span>Contextualize the Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nDatapine creates engaging stories by diving deep into the fascinating world of data presentation and drawing out the stories that help us make sense of our information-drenched age. They show that you don&#8217;t have to create visuals yourself to use them in your storytelling. However, by contextualizing existing data visualizations, you can create greater engagement with your audience.\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clarify_Any_Complexity\"><\/span>Clarify Any Complexity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\nSlate took a famously complex subject (the Syrian civil war) with a high level of media interest and found an innovative way to offer insights for readers. The grid system they used to show political relations worked similarly to Podio&#8217;s creative routines graphics. Also, they used visual referencing to expose the relationships that exist in complex data.\r\n\r\nIf you want to illuminate complex data in such a way, consider hiring a designer to do the heavy lifting for you. Then, publish it on your blog with accompanying copy. Sites like <em>Fiverr<\/em> and <em>People Per Hour<\/em> offer you affordable creatives who can get the job done creatively and efficiently.\r\n\r\nWe hope these tips and examples have demonstrated how data visualizations can craft compelling stories that take your marketing to the next level. The point is not to copy these examples but to use them as a jumping-off point for your content.\r\n\r\nUltimately, success in marketing is about the unique stories you tell. Data visualization is a powerful way to make those stories come alive.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Guest Author<\/span> &#8211; <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Nabeena Mali<\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Head of Marketing at AppInstitute, a DIY\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/appinstitute.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/appinstitute.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1516104486724000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG6b33dGcibt6sHJCC9XXMf1XyzLw\">app builder<\/a>\u00a0for small businesses.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nowadays, marketing is more than just providing audiences with useful information.
