Data Storytelling: Turn Numbers into Decisions

Elliott Rayner is a Fractional Head of Storytelling, helping product & marketing teams turn complex products into clear, compelling product narratives. His work is grounded in the science of storytelling and a background in neuroscience, combined with 20+ years of experience across global brands and high-growth scale-ups. The frameworks Elliott developed along the way now power his course, book, and workshops — helping teams craft clear, compelling strategic narratives. He was recently recognised as one of the UK's top product marketers, ranking 7th on the list of most influential in the field.

Today, as a fractional head of storytelling, he helps teams transform complex ideas into clear, compelling strategic narratives.

Nolan Haims is one of only 15 Microsoft PowerPoint MVPs in the world, a status that has him regularly advising Microsoft's own presentation development team. Over 25 years he has built presentation and data storytelling training for Microsoft, NBC, Gartner, and dozens of Fortune 500 companies and foundations, ranging from two hour sessions to multi day immersions. He created Present Your Story, a training program built to help teams work faster, reduce text, and increase visual storytelling, and The Better Deck Deck, a bestselling set of 52 design alternatives to the bullet point. His approach comes down to one line he repeats often: the more content on your slide, the less of it your audience will actually absorb.
