Key Steps
- Define a simulated digital marketing campaign by outlining its objectives, target audience, duration, and key performance areas.
- Identify the primary performance metrics (e.g., engagement rates, conversion ratios, ROI) and elaborate on how these metrics can be visualized using Power BI.
- Create detailed outlines and workflow diagrams that illustrate the interactive visualization process.
- Discuss how various elements like filters, slicers, and drill-down capabilities will enhance data interactivity.
- Synthesize the complete process and analysis into a DOC file with clear, segmented sections and illustrative diagrams or sketches.
Evaluation Criteria
- Clarity and rationale behind the defined campaign objectives and chosen metrics.
- Creativity and practical value of the proposed interactive visualizations.
- Quality and detail in the interactive design workflow.
- Ability to translate data insights into actionable recommendations.
- Presentation of the final DOC file with logical structuring and detailed content.
This realistic task should take you approximately 30-35 hours, allowing for independent research and innovative thinking in your execution plan.
Objective
This task is intended to push you towards integrating multiple data sources and depicting them via interactive storytelling on a Power BI dashboard. The aim is to seamlessly merge quantitative data with narrative elements to provide a comprehensive display of digital marketing success and user behavior analytics.
Expected Deliverables
- A DOC file containing a comprehensive plan for data integration and narrative visualization.
- A detailed explanation of methods to merge various types of digital marketing data into a coherent dashboard model.
- Proposed visual storytelling techniques that translate data insights into user-friendly narratives.
- Mockups or schematics showing the integration points and narrative flows.
Key Steps
- Identify at least two distinct data sources relevant to digital marketing analytics (all publicly available) and discuss how they relate.
- Devise a structured plan for integrating these sources on a single platform.
- Discuss various interactive storytelling techniques that could be applied in Power BI (e.g., narrative sequences, guided navigation).
- Create comprehensive mockups or schematic diagrams that illustrate how data will be displayed along with narrative texts.
- Compile your discussion, integration plan, and mockups into a well-organized DOC file with sections clearly outlining every step and rationale.
Evaluation Criteria
- Depth and feasibility of the data integration strategy.
- Clarity in the explanation of narrative techniques and interactive storytelling.
- Quality and detail in the visual mockups/schematics.
- Overall organization, clarity, and professional presentation of the DOC file.
- Innovativeness and user-centric approach demonstrated in your planning.
This task is expected to consume about 30-35 hours of focused work and research independently, while no proprietary datasets are required since publicly available data can be used to formulate your strategy.
Objective
