Quick Wins for Better Data Storytelling

Pressed for time but need your graphs to make an impact?

Here are two simple changes that can transform your data visuals:

💬 Words matter – Your slide title is prime real estate. Use it to highlight the key takeaway so your audience instantly knows what’s important. It’s the first thing your audience will read so give it impact.

🎨 Colour guides focus – A contrasting colour can direct attention to the most critical insights. Don’t make your audience hunt for the key message—show them exactly where to look.

When used together, words + colour create a powerful storytelling combo that makes your data clearer, more engaging, and more persuasive.
