The Team

The Analytics & Insight team are responsible for leveraging the vast amounts of client data to discover insights, identify opportunities and build data products to drive the business forwards. They do this through the use of statistical, algorithmic and visualisation techniques.

As a Media Insight Analyst, you will work with members of the team to scope, plan, build and deliver a range of analytics projects. This could involve supporting the media planning teams with research, customised reports and implementation of bespoke data management processes, supporting senior analysts to build advanced forecasting models, managing a data pipeline to power a visualisation dashboard, or something else entirely different – no two days will be the same.

They collect data from dozens of data sources, ranging from industry research, macroeconomic data, web analytics info, transactional data, subscriptions and memberships, customer event-level data, media data, third party data and much, much more. Their data is extremely varied, some being very finely grained, event-level data, others being already aggregated to various degrees. It also arrives on different schedules!

The business logic they apply to the data is complex and the end uses for data are varied. All this requires well-designed, robust, future-proofed data visualisation and performance reporting skills that can keep up with the business and support our ambitious plans to unlock the value of data strategically.

About You
