Digital storytelling is everywhere these days. And if there's any more widespread topic than digital storytelling, it's data. While both are important to your nonprofit, charity, cause, or library, both together just might be its secret weapon.
So how do you turn your data into a powerful communications tool to tell your story?
Join us on Tuesday, April 9, at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time for a special Digital Storytelling Challenge edition of the weekly CommBuild discussion on Twitter.
Matthew Scharpnick, co-founder and chief strategy officer of Elefint Designs will be on hand to answer questions and share data visualization tips.
Have questions about storytelling with data you'd like to make sure we cover during the discussion on Twitter? Tweet them to @TechSoup before April 9 using the hashtag #commbuild.
