Description

Essentially, with a large enough data set, it becomes someone's full time job to understand the data set, and extract stories from it. I think this a fascinating step, and one I hope other companies will recognise the value of, and employ people to do, not least because it increases my chances of getting a job in this sort of field one day. I already do some of this sort of thing for our clients, but it's not taken entirely seriously, particularly when the things I find out don't match marketing goals, which I find frustrating.
