Our team is often called to answer questions like:

• What are the meaningful messaging takeaways from a poll of industry elites for a major corporation to consider in their paid communication?
• How should a movie studio structure their marketing based on who a likely movie goer is?
• What political trends should a campaign be aware of, and what are the different pathways to victory?
• How do we present our models, calculators, and reports, so our partners get the information they need?

Tools of the Trade

• We work closely with our data science team, so you'll need an understanding of statistical concepts, be able to interpret results and explain them to nonanalysts
• We use big data sets so you will need to be comfortable with tools to access information and analyze that information such as SQL and some statistical and/or spreadsheet software We use an array of business intelligence tools to visualize our findings. Members of our team have different strengths such as GIS or Tableau

- so we look for some experience using such tools

• We're only successful if we can communicate our findings; writing skills, PowerPoint, Keynote and other tools of the consultant toolbox will help you succeed in this job
