His career as Chairman of Mandalay Entertainment, Dick Clark Productions, Sony Entertainment as well as producing many award winning films such as Batman, Flashdance , and The Color Purple lend great credence to his expertise in the art of purposeful storytelling.

We recently came across the Harvard Business Review YouTube interview with Mr. Guber reiterating the Art of Storytelling as it relates to marketing and selling your product or service and how to develop a real connection with your audience.

Open i Networks was hired to help enhance GP’s newsletters and deepen the engagement of their clients by adding a complex set of data visualization components to their presentations.

In just four short months, working with the in-house Guggenheim marketing team, Open i Networks created a tool that allows the data to tell the fund’s story by having viewers engage with the numbers through a series of engaging interactive data visualization mechanisms.

Our project design team helped to vastly improve the capacity to develop a continuing series of charts and graphs to illustrate important concepts surrounding financial markets and their performance for a sophisticated and savvy audience.

Elements of this tool can be embedded in a digital newsletter for distribution and enables GP to completely maintain brand standards while presenting financial statistics in an in-depth and compelling manner.
