Tableau's 'If Data Could Talk'

Tableau’s ‘If Data Could Talk’

If Data Could Talk (IDCT), hosted by author and Tableau evangelist Andy Cotgreave, is a video series that brings thought leaders together to discuss the intersections of data with our daily lives. From how to design board games to the challenges of communicating science during the the Covid-19 crisis - IDCT explores the power and value of data storytelling, data literacy, and data culture.

The challenge for the launch of Season 2 was how to re-brand and re-launch after a short hiatus; we needed to create something familiar yet fresh for our loyal audience. Through strong collaborations with design and production partners, Season 2’s launch was a resounding success.

Below you’ll find a few of my favorite episodes along with some of our rebranded design materials.

You can watch all episodes on Tableau’s YouTube playlist or website.
