| Summary: | This book shows the role data plays in communication and marketing and how it can be used as an important source for storytelling. Because data, as a raw material of the digital age, inspires corporate strategy. If it is collected, interpreted and processed properly, it provides new and sometimes surprising insights into contexts and offers the opportunity to develop exciting stories from it. Stories that also create relevance with regard to corporate goals, spark dialogues and make communication effective. The author explains in an easy-to-understand way how data-based communication strategies can be turned into gripping stories. He also provides useful tools and shows why data can lie, how important its visual processing is, where its use meets ethical limits and why data protection is also a business opportunity.
