Overview

Our lives are increasingly defined by data. From the ads we see online, to the steps we count, to the time we set aside to drive to a client, data touches every aspect of our daily existence. But how often is data thought of as an expressive medium, capable of telling memorable stories that engage audiences on a meaningful level? John will present a broad overview of the ways creative studios, including his own, are harnessing data to drive innovative experiences that command attention.
