Episode notes
Data storytelling is having a moment. Lucas and Luna dissect how The Pudding - a tiny digital publication - used data-driven visual essays to grow from 10,000 to 100,000 newsletter subscribers in 18 months without paid ads. They break down the specific narrative techniques The Pudding uses: the 'data sandwich' (topline insight, visual proof, human takeaway), the one-variable-per-viz rule, and how they position data as the hero, not the tool. Plus, the hosts debate whether this approach works for B2B product marketing or if it's strictly a DTC/content play. If you've ever stared at a spreadsheet and wondered 'how do I make this interesting?', this episode hands you a blueprint. #DataStorytelling #ThePudding #ContentMarketing #NewsletterGrowth #VisualCommunication #MarketingStrategy #DigitalMedia #Storytelling #B2BMarketing #DTCMarketing #DataVisualization #ProductMarketing #GrowthHacking #SubscriberGrowth #Marketing #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
