DataComms unwound Boldspace and Post Office – Save Our Cash This session will bring the campaign to life from start-to-finish, demonstrating how data was core to everything we did and how we demonstrated impact in the most tangible way possible across every channel.
Up to eight million people rely on cash daily, but access to cash is rapidly declining with bank branches and free to use ATMs are fast disappearing every day. This campaign tackled this issue head-on with a data-driven approach from start-to-finish – in the planning to address issues with the argument (we needed to talk about something that many didn’t relate to or understand) through to tracking and optimising delivery at every stage of the campaign.

Whose data is it anyway? Much like digital communications, data collection, management and analysis can sit across any number of internal stakeholders or teams. Who plays the important roles in data strategy? This session will feature PR, digital and technology communications professionals as they discuss the challenges of pigeonholing data and the opportunities posed by collaboration.

Simplifying and visualising complex data to different audiences Different audiences absorb information in different ways. Visualising data to an investor audience may need a different approach than to say, an internal audience. This panel session will look at ways organisations have used data in innovative and creative ways to communicate and engage a variety of corporate audiences. It will include case studies and a general discussion on visual tone of voice. The case studies will include Living Group’s data visualisation for State Street Global Advisors’ retirement saving strategies. By simplifying the narrative, Living Group helped SSGA succeed in using engaging and interactive graphics to tell a complex story while educating its users. Commetric will be discussing how they designed an integrated evaluation framework for a health awareness campaign ran by a pharma company and how we helped the PR team identify the most impactful and convincing data points to use in communicating their success to internal corporate stakeholders.

Quality in, quality out If you want to tell more powerful and persuasive stories rooted in data, you have to interrogate your data sources better. Drawing inspiration from a wide variety of professionals for whom success depends on the ability to ask great questions - from scientists to the police, from doctors to hostage negotiators, from journalists to Zen Buddhists - data storyteller Sam Knowles sets out the six universal principles for asking smarter questions. The ability to surface great output by focusing on the quality of your input is a central theme from Sam’s new book, 'Asking Smarter Questions'.

Reputation management: new tools for an old journey
Understanding stakeholder perceptions is getting increasingly important in today’s world – yet many companies still use wrong insights that lead to poor decisions. In this talk, Shahar will present a new and more actionable approach for monitoring corporate brand and reputation, and demonstrate how listening to people in real time helps companies overcome the inaccuracies associated with social listening, and the slowness associated with annual surveys.
