Senior Analyst - Best Practice

Best Practice Client Insights Senior Analyst

The Best Practice team falls under the umbrella of our professional services organization, CGS. Their insights work touches every category, from pet food to vitamins to coffee. There comes a time for every brand when they must buy data. Many companies do not have in-house expertise or the capacity to analyze their own data. Our brand clients then have a choice to make: to buy data…or buy data AND advice! Brands can think of the Best Practice team as a therapist for their business!

We are a collaborative team. You own your own clients, but if you ever have an issue, there's always someone to help. If you want to be the only superstar and shine in the spotlight all the time, this is not the right role for you. We aren't competitive with each other at all; we help each other. Collectively is how we succeed.
