How data is shaping our world (Data is cool! article #1)<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
By Lee Allen @ Data\u00b3<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Who said data was dull? Well me, in another life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At\n my career start, I was an out-and-out words man. Wrestling with\nlanguage on a day-to-day, I gave no thought to the world of data; it\nseemed cold and uninteresting to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\n was before I joined a company doing smart stuff with customer data. All\n of a sudden it was useful\u200a\u2014\u200aI could see which of my words worked best\nand which channels to use. I knew my audience far better, so everything I\n wrote resonated with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast\n forward to Data\u00b3 and I now eat, sleep and breathe data. I literally\nhave the t-shirt (it\u2019s a Data\u00b3 hoodie). We do smart stuff with customer\ndata, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I\u2019m a convert, I thought it be good to share some of the data stories I come across. Cue my Data is cool! series, where I\u2019ll share some of the ways data is shaping our lives in genuinely powerful and profound ways. Today we look at 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
