Why Data Visualization + Storytelling Is Marketing Gold

Data is everywhere, but it’s what we do with that data, what insights we tap into that make it so valuable”. This article explains in depth the benefits of data storytelling, tips and tricks on how to successfully tell stories using data, where to get data, etc. Companies often collect data and simply sit on it, in the sense that they do not put it to use.
