Frieren, Data & RevOps: Why Great Storytelling Wins.

Frieren Revops

Frieren is an anime about an elf who has lived for centuries.

She’s seen everything.

Nothing feels new.

Emotions barely move her.

And yet… Frieren won Anime of the Year at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival 2025.


Why?

👉 Storytelling.

Now let’s jump from anime to data.


Nancy Duarte, in DataStory, explains that stories activate our senses. And when you’re not the final decision-maker,

the way you tell a story with data directly changes outcomes.

This hits especially hard for RevOps and GTM Engineers.


Early in our careers, we’re very operational:

  • Building flows

  • Fixing pipelines

  • Cleaning data

  • Shipping dashboards


But as we move up, the focus shifts:

📈 Data alone isn’t enough

🧭 Understanding the revenue journey becomes critical

🎯 Translating complexity into clarity becomes the real job


That’s where Frieren connects with RevOps.

Just like Frieren’s story isn’t about flashy battles, great RevOps isn’t about flashy charts. It’s about:

  • Knowing the journey

  • Knowing your stakeholders

  • Knowing how to tell the story so everyone understands why it matters


Want to win RevOps of the Year (or at least not put your execs to sleep)?


  • You don’t just need clean data. Read my text about clean data.

  • You need a story that makes people feel the impact.


Frieren, but for RevOps:

You’ve seen all the metrics before.

To make them matter, you need storytelling.

Clean data keeps things from getting strange.


Great storytelling makes them unforgettable. 🚀📊✨
