Revolutionising data-led presentations

Merck’s sales and marketing teams relied on fast access to data and insights, but the data analytics team struggled to create the outputs quickly enough in a format that met stakeholder needs.

We conducted a thorough audit of all outputs used to understand how to improve deliverables and how to inject impact into the process. We identified over 31 frequently used chart types and created best-practice, easy-to-use, standardised versions and templates. We then coached each data analyst on design principles and the use of the new templates.

Transformative results
– A toolkit of designed charts; bar charts, pie charts, line charts, infographics and more.
– Style guide embedded in the PowerPoint template to direct users.
– One-on-one training with all team members to ensure action.

Result: A significant boost in speed and quality of delivery.

"Keen as Mustard not only refreshed our brand and site, they gave new vigour and relevance to both. When we launched the new look on LinkedIn, 10,000 people read the posts and hundreds commented. The sentiments expressed were all highly positive, with many commenting on how clean, modern and alive the site was. "

Simon Chadwick, Cambiar

"The biggest draw to Keen as Mustard was your expertise in the industry. Knowing we could start the project without explaining some of the basics about our customers, our services, etc meant we could hit the ground running."

"Bringing Aspen Finn to life with KAM was a delight. Their organised, creative and supportive approach was exactly what we needed at each stage of development. We were able to introduce Aspen Finn to the world on time and as planned which is both excellent and terrible as I will dearly miss regular contact with Lucy and Simon."

Julia Eisenberg, Aspen Finn
