Leverage the Power of Zero Cost Top-Tier Data with the Acuity Business Pass

You’ve probably heard the adage “Content is King.” The phrase originated in 1996 when Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote an essay with the same name. In the essay, Gates predicted that content would become the key determinant of success for websites and businesses. That statement couldn’t be truer in our ever-evolving digital world. In the interest of this article, let’s change that phrase to “Data is King.”
