Making data digestible with infographics

Yahoo7 had a huge amount of data about customer behaviour that they were
itching to share. They just couldn’t quite work out how to present it to
their audience within the organisation.

Infographics, Presentation

Yahoo7 is one of Australia’s largest digital content publishers, with a monthly unique audience of over 4 million. They have a massive digital footprint spanning across editorial, news, video and search, giving them access to a huge amount of data on customer behaviour. They were itching to share this, but couldn’t quite work out how to best present it to their audience.

THE PROBLEM

How we turn Yahoo7’s data into valuable content?

The data held valuable insights about the Yahoo7 Audience and their media consumption behaviours.

The challenge was working out the best way to showcase the data so that it would be easy for their readers to understand.

Unlocking the narrative behind the numbers

Yahoo7 came to us wanting to share their findings and create a better understanding of particular habits in different industries. They knew their audience would not respond well to one large research piece or whitepaper including all the data.

THE SOLUTION

We translated over 500 raw data points into
- 5 infographics - 1 Presentation

The content was broken up into bite-sized pieces over a series of topics, which would be ‘drip fed’ to readers over a six month period.

Infographics

The infographics were simple one page overviews of each topic, and designed in a way that allowed the reader to take in a number of insights very quickly. They were more of a quick-look ‘on the go’ piece, rather than the type that takes time to download and read.

Presentation

We designed the presentations as more detailed versions of the infographics, spread across a number of pages.
They were created in Powerpoint so that the client could have access to the data if they needed to, distributed via SlideShare and produced in PDFs to enable downloading and sharing from the Yahoo7 website.

Design & branding

Blue Melon developed a specific identity, look and feel to be used across the series, including a logo lockup. This was done to create a familiarity with the insights, so that the reader would easily recognise pieces as they were published over time. The identity ensured items were clearly part of a ‘collection series’, making readers engaged over a series of releases.
THE RESULTS
THE RESULTS

Clear. Insightful. Concise. Maximum impact.

The campaign was so popular that Yahoo7 decided to release another series the following year with a fresh new look and feel.

“BlueMelon turned our data into powerful insights that are now helping our staff to do their jobs better. We are blown away by what they can do.”
