Reports & Analytics template

Year-in-Review Data Story

Transform annual data into a compelling year-in-review narrative. This is the exact template that ships in Nimply’s AI Content Studio — the full prompt is below, with every fill-in variable highlighted.

The full prompt

Write a year-in-review data story for [platform] from [brand_name] for [year]. Transform annual metrics into a compelling narrative. Data to include: [data_points]. Structure: a "by the numbers" opening with the most impressive stat, a month-by-month or quarter-by-quarter journey (highlight peaks and valleys), the community's contribution (user/customer data that shows collective impact), a comparison to the previous year (growth story), the most unexpected data point, and a data-driven prediction for next year. Include visual suggestions for each data section (charts, infographics, animations). Keep under [word_count] words. Tone: [tone]. Make numbers feel like a story of collective achievement.

Copy it anywhere, or open it in Nimply where each highlighted variable becomes a form field and the output lands as a draft in your planner.

Craft notes

Getting the most from reports & analytics templates

  • Lead with the "so what": the one change, its likely cause, and the recommended action — details follow.
  • Compare like periods (month vs month, launch vs launch); raw week-to-week noise creates fake stories.
  • Flag what you don’t know honestly — attribution on social is fuzzy, and pretending otherwise erodes report trust.
  • The best client reports end with next month’s plan; reporting backward earns renewal when it points forward.
