Here's how you can convey intricate data analysis findings to non-technical stakeholders.

The marketing team usually does not need to know what #data/statistical modeling techniques we use to get the results or answer their questions. Using #marketing terms would make perfect sense when delivering messages. For example, instead of saying, "The gender coefficient has a negative impact on dependent variables. And the p-value for age' and 'gender' is > 0.05, we can't reject the null hypothesis. Therefore,..." Unless the marketing team insists :) You can start directly with the main message, "Consumers' age and gender do not significantly impact coupon distributions to our major accounts." Simplifying terms for the marketing team gets easier with experience. #analytics

One effective strategy for communicating complex data insights to non-technical audiences is to frame your explanations in relatable narratives. Rather than focusing on the intricacies of the data, tell a story that highlights the key points.

Most marketing people I know hate putting too much technology into their work. They probably hear and listen to success story applying analytics and technology into marketing, but it's still a huge learning curve, and most of them don't want to go through that. If you really want to help, do the data & analytics work for them, listen to them, speak their language, work together with them to create a mutual understanding of what matters and what not. Don't try to educate, try to be educated. Cheers!

Marketing analytics is a passion of mine, and it's constantly pushed me to learn and grow. But not everyone shares that enthusiasm. The key to successful communication is tailoring your message. Ditch technical jargon and explain what you're measuring your findings, and recommendations in clear, concise language. Think of it as translating complex data into actionable insights everyone can understand. This ensures your message resonates and gets implemented.

We can say "simplify" things, but that is in and of itself too simplistic. People need to understand the impact of your data, not how you got it. Focus on helping people understand the business case, not the nuances to the tech you used to get there. Put your business hat on and take off your analytics hat.

Yes, marketer love visual. The better visual the more attention you can drag from them, why?, because you're talking their language. Applying best practices in visualisation (data storytelling, simplicity, white space, color coding, etc.), communicating what matters, and speaking your business and marketer language are my best bet to gain their buy-in

Visual aids are game-changers in marketing analytics! ?? They transform complex data into digestible insights, making it easier for non-technical stakeholders to grasp key trends and patterns. Remember, clarity is crucial—use color coding and labels to spotlight the most critical information. A well-designed visual can turn confusion into clarity, driving informed decision-making and strategic action. ??

Early in my career, I had to present a complex quarterly performance review to non-technical executives. Realizing that simply discussing the data wouldn't be effective, I created clear, simple charts and graphs using Tableau and Excel. These visuals, including line graphs for social media growth and bar charts for campaign performance, helped highlight key trends with color coding and labels.

Marketing professionals thrive on deep customer insights, understanding their behaviors and preferred communication styles. In marketing analytics, your customers are stakeholders eagerly awaiting specific information and its value proposition. By presenting your findings in a clear, engaging manner, along with predictions on how they will impact the business, you can achieve crucial alignment with stakeholders. This transparency fosters trust and empowers them to make data-driven decisions that drive marketing success.

When presenting detailed data analysis to non-technical stakeholders, it is essential to construct a coherent narrative. For instance, when examining customer satisfaction trends, the initial focus should be outlining the decline and the necessity for comprehension. Detailed elaboration of the challenges encountered during the analysis, such as sorting through diverse feedback data, is crucial. Explaining pivotal discoveries, such as the correlation between customer support interactions and satisfaction levels, and suggesting actionable recommendations, such as enhancing call handling times, etc. This approach ensures transparency, engagement, and alignment on subsequent steps for well-informed decision-making.

This is also easily said than done. Everybody keeps repeating that your insights needs to be actionable, your insights needs to be business focused...But isn't it too much to ask for a technical marketing analyst who his main every job is implementing Google Tag, tracking data quality, response to adhoc question from marketing department. If I have ever found myself in the situation that I found too difficult to find something actionable, it's probably I don't have enough time, or don't have enough understanding of what matter the most. Seeking out for help from other marketer, your manager. They would definitely be able to help. Asking WHO instead of HOW can solve a lot of problem here.
