Virtually every company is expert in something. Nearly all have databases that can provide special insight on trends in their respective industries, “broad view” data that can be shared and distributed without violating the confidentiality of their customers and partners.

Offering information that sheds new light on industry or market trends seems to be one of the best ways to build substantive interest among media, bloggers, investors, customers and almost everyone else. This is great news for companies and organizations with access to rich data — as well as those that quickly manufacture it through surveys and other techniques.

There is an insatiable appetite for this information. And rightly so.

It’s often simple, direct and illuminating – even if it’s sometimes slanted, spun and packaged to advantage. And sometimes, it’s even news.

One of the goals of public relations is to create better understanding, insight and appreciation for what our clients do and the challenges they face. Data does this.

In the mobile industry growth seems to be a given – confirmed by data released daily – from companies, research firms and media and industry organizations. People may be inclined to say, “enough already.” Yet, with each new survey of subscriber texting interests, report on mobile internet page views and the month’s total of mobile applications downloaded, comes the information that is helping to continue to build an industry into something much more than it already is today.
