Ad Companies Face a Widening Talent Gap – http://nyti.ms/soZ4XS

A couple of key passages:
– “The digital talent gap is driven in part by the enormous amount of user data that ad tech companies are collecting for agencies and marketers — data that is instrumental in directing ads to consumers and analyzing trends”

– “Agencies have not traditionally hired for skills like “number crunching, data visualization, quantitative analysis,” Mr. Neumann said. “They’ve never needed those in the past.” Instead, media buyers and even those on the creative side of agencies need to prepare for a new digital reality”

We here at Invizua are excited to help the industry prepare for the continued onslaught of data. Great tools and awesome partners are part of the solution. That’s Invizua.

Enjoy!

#DataViz of comScore US Search Engine Rankings (Aug ’11)

Filed under: dataviz,search — James Sandoval @ 3:54 pm

comScore, the digital business analytics organisation, released its numbers for US Search Engine Rankings in August. Here’s the press release: http://bit.ly/pExpSu

We threw the tables of data in comScore’s press release into Omniscope to see what we could present visually.

Here’s what we did in about 15 minutes: http://bit.ly/qaXdfu

There are two tabs in the file – the second unveils some of the DataManager (the visual ETL workspace) work we did to prep the data for visualisation in Omniscope’s DataExplorer (the data visualisation component).

Below are a couple of visuals in the event you’re in a hurry and don’t have time to download the Omniscope .iok file.
