Data and evidence are the bedrock for confident management action. As a marketing strategy, advisory and analytics consultancy, the Forethought Marketing Science team uses best-in-class advanced analytics techniques to provide our clients with the evidence and clarity for action.
Partnering with our Industry Consulting teams, and with specialisations ranging across psychometrics and consumer behaviour to applied statistics and data science, the Marketing Science team approaches diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive analytical challenges sharply focused on supporting you achieve positive outcomes.
