Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of working with Environics Analytics as opposed to performing the work internally? keyboard_arrow_down

We pride ourselves on our ability to collaborative with your internal teams and external partners. At Environics Analytics, you'll get access to a broad range of data scientists, mathematicians, statisticians, geographers, developers and business and marketing strategists. With hundreds of years of cumulative experience, we're skilled in uncovering insights using analytics tools such as custom segmentation, predictive modeling and location intelligence. We also offer more than 30 databases containing over 20,000 variables enabling you to augment your data with market data for enhanced analysis.

If your organization is in the early stages of your analytics journey, we can provide training and support for your team and help you build a business case for bringing the tools and expertise needed for continuous analysis in-house. For many of our clients, our team does the work their internal teams don’t have the capacity or experience to complete. You'll find our approach extremely collaborative and flexible so we can provide you with solutions that scale easily to your needs and budget.

We recently invested in research-based segments. How can I leverage this investment with the work Environics Analytics does? keyboard_arrow_down

It is not uncommon for banks to conduct research on their customers or develop segments internally or through a third party. We have worked with many banks to help them take their strategic research segments and make them actionable at small area level. This helps link your strategy to your branches, marketing initiatives and regional tactics. For example, we can help you target millennials or the mass affluent population.

Given we own a significant amount of first-party customer data, what is the value of market data from Environics Analytics? keyboard_arrow_down

Many financial institutions have clean and accessible datasets on their current customers. However, this data is often limited to their current financial relationship with your organization and some pertinent demographic data collected as part of a product application. Augmenting your data with market data can help create a more robust picture of who your customers are and their needs. We offer a wealth of market data on financial preferences with your bank and your competitors including: digital behavior, psychographics, ethnicity and other demographic data not typically collected. Since this data is available at the zip code level, it can also help inform acquisition strategies with people who are not yet your customers and provide insight on how to better attract them to your brand. See databases

If my data is siloed across my organization, can I still work with Environics Analytics? keyboard_arrow_down

Absolutely. We are highly skilled at building analytical files that combine data from disparate sources. If you can provide us with a way to link customer data across different tables, we can do the rest.

How can I get executive level buy-in to become a data driven organization? keyboard_arrow_down

Congratulations on wanting to foster a data-driven culture. The analytics journey starts with finding the right executive sponsor to support the cultural shift, understanding the data needs across all departments and levels of the organization and then building an analytics roadmap. Our team is highly skilled at helping you connect key stakeholders and develop a strong business plan, including aligning your data and analytics strategy to your business goals, creating an implementation plan and developing success metrics. Get in touch to discuss how we can help you kick-start your analytics journey. Contact us
