Introduction to Value of Data

A campaign born in Scotland - led by DMA Scotland - we join forces with partners and advocates across the UK to reshape the understanding of the true worth of information.

Scotland is a hub of data expertise, FinTech and exciting, innovative start-ups - the beating heart of a data agenda across the UK's data and marketing industry.
