Data Addicts Anonymous Brings Levity to Boring Retail Data

data_addicts.jpg

Acknowledging that data can be pretty boring and suck the life out of anyone who has to live with it for their job, retail data company Trade Dimensions has launched Data Addicts Anonymous, a site the offers help for data dweebs who can’t get their heads out of a spreadsheet. With a video that has a Dad locking himself away from his family to poor over data, a six step program for “data healing,” motivational posters and treatment options, the site brings some levity to an extremely boring topic. We especially like the pixelated image on the site that speaks directly to a data hound’s inability to “see the forest through the trees.”

The site will be promoted within the retail industry with a print campaign and direct mail postcards. The work was created by Via Worldwide.
