SENIOR MEDIA & MARKETING PERFORMANCE ANALYST

Analytics Department Mission

The Connelly Partners Data & Analytics team partners with its clients and agency co-workers to help answer three fundamental questions: what happened? so what? and what’s next? Our answers to these questions are rooted in and driven by data. As such, we are experts in leveraging data to measure media and marketing results, analyze trends and relationships, and identify opportunities for improving campaign and business performance over time.
