- These include solutions for discovering unknown unknowns, and for modelling and predicting media and advertising effectiveness

- Achieve this by productionising and scaling your products and services, and by focusing effort across short- and medium-term outcomes, as well as the longer-term big bets
- Develop and apply the resources of the Croudie Network wherever it makes sense to do so
- In collaboration with our Head of Data Engineering, leverage the resources of our data engineering team
- Achieve your profitability target also through good relationships with clients, and with great commercial and pricing decisions
- Growth through new business. Deliver on a growth plan for Global Analytics through the development and scaling of propositions and services that win new business; and also through your partnership with the Client Leadership and Sales teams
- In that partnership, be systematic in developing and pursuing cross- and up-sell opportunities
- Ensure your Data Science capability and approach is represented in one-pagers, sales decks, and client value proposition frameworks
- Leadership and delivery. Lead your team of Data Scientists in their contribution to profitable projects
- Maintain a clear roadmap for projects and ongoing services, and commitments for both clients and your team. Ensure they are delivered and met
- The expansion of our capabilities. Data Science at Croud includes clustering and predictive modelling, modelling in studies of advertising effectiveness, the application of generative AI for natural language, and more
- You’ll be an experienced, credible, trusted expert in these fields and more, and so you’ll be equipped to extend the boundaries of the agency’s capabilities

Our take
Marketing teams are often under-resourced and over-stretched, and the 24/7 nature of the field only amplifies these difficulties. Yet, digital marketing continues to be a vital part of businesses marketing strategy as the opportunities for business success online continue to grow.

Croud's capability to deliver this at scale is supported by its "Croud Control" platform, a digital platform that links over 2,300 on-demand digital experts known as "Croudies" to clients.
Croud continues to expand its network of "Croudies" and the digital products available to clients. For example, its in-house "Croud Creative" team provides instant creative resources to media teams, allowing them to create world-class campaigns. It also continues to make acquisitions to strengthen its position and remains well-regarded in the space.
