Our team of analysts, scientists, engineers, and strategists hail from diverse backgrounds yet share a passion for using data to solve the world’s greatest social and analytical challenges. Since our inception we’ve worked with more than 400 organizations ranging from government agencies, advocacy groups, unions, political campaigns, and international groups.

About the Team

The Strategic Analytics Team at BlueLabs drives high quality, innovative research and analysis across BlueLabs’ client sectors, including commercial, political, and non-profit clients, to inform data-driven decisions and strategy. Team members analyze and interpret data, provide strategic program insight, drive innovation across sectors, and collaborate closely with both our client and technical teams. 

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 non-analysts
• 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
