Abstract

Fuelled by digital technologies, marketers now have more access to data than they ever thought possible. At the same time, tools for analysing this data have become easier to use and more powerful. But more data and better tools have not always led to greater value. This paper discusses why better storytelling skills may help marketers ‘crack the code’ in delivering more value from data and analytical tools, argues that data storytelling is a teachable skill that all marketers need to learn and master and discusses what lessons were learned in training graduate marketing students in data storytelling skills.
