Tell Stories With Data

Whether you’re looking for clicks and mentions or authority and leads, nothing succeeds like data-driven content. From shareable infographics to in-depth reports, my data journalism helps businesses, non-profits and publications tell the data-driven stories that stand out from the pack.

Your data or mine?

With a unique combination of quantitative research, marketing and social media skills, I can not only get you the original data you need to rise above the fray, but also turn it into an irresistibly compelling story. Or I can work with the data you already have–like transaction data, social media metrics, app usage or customer feedback–to find the story that will win you new audiences and attention.

Data drives conversations

My content marketing projects drive social conversations because I bake the social strategy into the content. Each piece features tweetable links, bloggable excerpts and shareable infographics created by me or an independent designer. And it comes with a social media promotion plan calibrated to build your network and your brand.

The right form for your data-driven content

You can use data to power content like:

  • White papers, reports and ebooks that generate media attention and leads
  • Shareable infographics that present new insight
  • Blog posts in an authoritative voice
  • Presentations that make audiences take note
  • Social media shareables like charts or data factoids

Freaky Facebook bug?

Freaky Facebook bug?

Anna Strom just invited me to join a group for people whose babies were delivered by Pacific Midwifery. After I joined the group, I went to the “invite people to join” page, and saw a list of all the pending invitations, with the message that “19 invitations have not been sent”, and a “send” button waiting for me. I hit send, and all the people on that list who happened to be in my friend list got the message, but the remaining 14 are waiting there for Anna. But….what up, Facebook? That is one weird bug.
Turn It Off! British Columbia – The Pledge | 30 Days of Sustainability

Turn It Off! British Columbia – The Pledge | 30 Days of Sustainability

On May 16th, I’m turning off…

1. My hair dryer (so no cracks about the ‘do, ok?)

2. All the #@*!!## beeping, noisy kids’ toys in our house. Let them play with carbon neutral, quiet blocks for the day.

3. My TV. I can read the American Idol results online. 😉

Why would I live without all that electrical goodness, even for one day?

Because May 16th is “Turn It Off! BC” — a day for people across the province to turn off their lights and other non-essential electronic and electrical devices. We’re going to show the world that BC-ers don’t just talk the talk on sustainability — we’re prepared to talk in the dark.

Please join me by:

1. Forwarding this message to three (or more) of your Facebook friends (instructions below)

2. Joining the Turn It Off! BC Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2263583834&ref=mf

3. Taking the Turn It Off! pledge at http://30daysofsustainability.com/pledge

To turn YOUR friends off….

1. Select this message (everything down to where it says THANKS!), copy it, and then hit the “share” link (above if you’re reading this in a profile, below if it’s a message in your inbox).

2. Choose the “send a message” tab, and paste this text into the body of your message.

3. Edit the list at the top of this message to replace one of my pledges with your own (or replace all 3 items).

4. Enter the names of 3 of your friends in the “To” field (Facebook will help fill it in), slap on a subject line (“Can you turn it off?”) and hit “send”.

And while you’re at it, why not post to your profile or your wall, too?
