Data, data, data » We now face a huge tidal wave of information as the amount of available data has grown rapidly. This increased access to data, combined with new technology, does not always make our lives easier and more informed. While we all struggle not to drown in data, we all recognise there is a new level of business complexity we need to navigate. Not all information is useful. A strategy for deciding which is important and valuable is increasingly vital. We need new ways to cut through, edit and curate. We need new tools to help us find clear, simple stories. While also providing all the factual support and feedback that different stakeholders require to manage business performance, media investment and brands. The challenge is how to extract the insight and edit it in ‘useful ways’ so that data informs our decisions.
Turning volume into actionable insight.

The Hub that gathers » We believe every company should have a unique data gathering strategy. It is not always important to look at everything. It depends on your goals and ambitions, what you are trying to achieve and how you intend your business, marketing, brand and communication strategies to work. We help you determine the right information to pull together against these strategies, making it available and integrated in one place. We can include data on:
YourSales » sales data YourSpend » marketing spend YourSegments » segmentation YourChannels » channel media activity YourBrand » brand and comms tracking YourChatter » social media/online buzz YourMood » consumer confidence and social trends YourWeb » web behaviour YourFuture » predictive analytics 5
The Hub that distils Âť Not everyone needs to see everything and not everyone wants the same information or interactivity. The challenge is to decide what is useful and to whom and who should be able to do what. With The Hub, you can determine the content, comparisons and filters that are important and relevant to you and your area of the business. Do you want top-level, snapshot KPI reporting? Or in-depth exploration and analysis? Perhaps both? The Hub lets you decide, allowing each individual to explore data to their preferred level of depth and complexity, and configure reporting to meet their own unique and evolving needs.
Tailoring the content and functionality to suit you.

The Hub that inspires » The Hub is a storytelling tool for your business. It has been pioneered with the help of experts in the specialised field of visualisation and user-experience design. The Hub is designed to help you cut through the wealth of data available, inspire meaningful and valuable analysis and make business decisions easily, quickly, and effectively. Interacting with data is simple and user-friendly – there is no need for a huge manual or intensive training – although we do produce a support program to help you and your stakeholders get started and provide ‘editing’ support and analysis as needed. Data is presented to help uncover ‘hidden’ relationships and insights, maximise understanding and bring your different data sources to life. You can find these stories yourself or ask us to mine the data to find new insights for the integrated data.
Visual inspiration for better storytelling.
