Data Science
For most companies, customer databases are a great potential asset.
Decision Analyst uses advanced statistical tools to help clients exploit the
strategic potential of customer databases.
ƒƒ Data Cleansing and Data Integrity
Bad data inflates marketing costs
and dilutes the power of analyticsbased decisions. Predictive Analytics
begins with making sure the database
is as good as possible. We assess
the viability of each variable in the
database, so modeling efforts can
concentrate on the variables with the
highest potential to predict. Cleanup
and restoration efforts focus on the
remaining records.
ƒƒ Cross-Validation
Every predictive model is validated using proven statistical techniques.
Model validation reduces the risk in deploying marketing campaigns.
ƒƒ Data Enrichment
Applying text analytics to big data delivers new predictor variables.
Convergence of big data with scientifically designed, forward-looking
survey choice experiments expands the domain of predictive models.
ƒƒ Web Analytics
Decision Analyst applies cross-validation techniques to improve
performance of:
ƒƒ Digital Media.
ƒƒ Websites.
ƒƒ Web Communications.
ƒƒ Geoanalytics Consulting
Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
or geomapping, is a powerful method
of analyzing customer and marketing
data. Demographic, psychographic, and
behavioral data can be overlaid on the
same spacial map.
ƒƒ Reporting
Information is of no value if it cannot be
organized and reported promptly and
accurately. Decision Analyst uses powerful
multilevel reporting software with drill-down
capabilities to quickly deliver important
information to decision-makers.

Marketing Research Services
Traditional Predictive Analytics often relies totally
on historical data; this is like driving a car by looking
only in the rearview mirror. This works okay until the
road turns. Markets are constantly changing, and
marketing research allows us to look out the front
windshield and anticipate the curves. Our Predictive
Analytics Team knows how to use qualitative
research and survey-based data to deliver forwardlooking market information and models.
ƒƒ Online Qualitative Research
We can analyze subgroups within customer
databases to determine motivations, perceptions,
and preferences. This can lead to new
positionings, new messages, and new methods of
attack.
ƒƒ Online Quantitative Research
Customer segments can be identified and
surveyed to develop projectable data for subsets
of customers (and all customers) to assist in
targeting, messaging, and segmentation analyses.
ƒƒ Text Mining of Customer Comments
Most text or open-ended comments in customer
databases are never fully analyzed. Decision
Analyst uses automated and traditional coding
systems to reveal the customers’ true messages
and report them in an understandable way.
ƒƒ Testing Marketing Materials
Using its worldwide online panels and research
systems, Decision Analyst can test marketing
materials for effectiveness (before deployment).
ƒƒ Brochures
ƒƒ Product Offers
ƒƒ Ads
ƒƒ Catalogs
ƒƒ Promotions
ƒƒ Web Design
ƒƒ Volumetric Forecasting
The sales and profit potential of new marketing
programs can be analyzed so that realistic
estimates of first-year sales volume related to new
programs and offers can be forecast accurately.
ƒƒ Innovation Services
Decision Analyst’s Innovation Team can generate
the ideas that will lead to:
ƒƒ New Products.
ƒƒ New Positionings.
ƒƒ New Advertising Messages.
ƒƒ New Promotional Offers.
