Joanne’s Column: Why data driven storytelling guarantees engagement

Data driven storytelling is based on creating content that is already being sought after by the public. You can uncover this data by looking at a number of data sources: 

1. Google search terms
2. Google search trends
3. Trending hashtags 
4. Social media trends
5. Topic-specific spikes
6. Website landing page traffic spikes 
7. In-bound calls/emails to your office 

So next time you are planning content for your digital channels, why not deep dive into the data available to you?
