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
