About the dataset

A UK-based clothing store launched a series of targeted marketing campaigns for the Spring, Fall, and Summer seasons. Each campaign included two distinct advertisements on Facebook, Pinterest, and Instagram: one highlighting discounts and the other showcasing the latest clothing collections.
The campaigns specifically targeted three major cities: London, Birmingham, and Manchester.
Daily performance metrics were meticulously captured across various dimensions, including cities, channels, devices, and individual ads. These metrics encompassed Impressions, Click-Through Rate (CTR), Clicks, Daily Average Cost-Per-Click (CPC), Spend, Conversions, Total Conversion Value, Likes, Shares, and Comments. 

What should your report include?

Create a comprehensive Power BI report to analyze these metrics, providing insights into the effectiveness of each campaign and identifying opportunities for optimization.

Technical requirements

  • Build your report using only Power BI
  • The number of pages in the report is not limited
  • At least one report page has to contain a minimum of 2 ZoomCharts Drill Down Visuals. See a practical guide on Drill Down Visuals here

Judging criteria

We empower participants to build PRO reports in order to create exceptional user experiences. Drill down and filter data with ease, giving your end-users the insights they need, quickly and intuitively.

  1. How easy is it to understand the data? (max 10 points)
    • Is too much text used for explanation?
    • Are the indicative colors in charts instinctually understandable?
    • Does it tell a story?
  2. How easy-to-use is the report? (max 14 points)
    • Cross-chart filtering implementation across the report. Can other visuals provide relevant data as the user explores the report?
    • Response time
    • Drill Down: multi-layer data exploration. Can the user drill down and gain additional insights within the report?
    • Use of tutorial overlays and other elements to assist new users. Can a new user start using this report straight away with just the guidance provided within the report itself?
  3. How good is the report design and is it suitable for its purpose? (max 10 points)
    • Visual design: is the overall look consistent, no empty spaces, no overcrowding?
    • Interface design: are there unnecessary visualizations/buttons/complexity in use?
    • UX design: is the produced report usable?
    • Report design: is the main challenge answered?
    • Technical: are all the fonts used the same, are the sizes readable?

You are encouraged to use various techniques at your disposal, such as tooltips, drill-throughs, drill-downs, cross-chart filtering and page navigation features, to enhance your analysis.
