Adds Wisner, "As a strategic data scientist, being relentless in pursuit of the best solutions informed by data and analytical insights on behalf of our diverse array of clients is a must. We continually must ask ourselves 'Why,' until there are no more 'Whys' to be asked about the data. Our goal is not just to answer these questions, but to actually define them. As consumer engagement continues to constantly expand across multiple platforms, striving to find not just the right data, but the insights into the data backed up by the optimal analytical approach and tools to arrive at multi-dimensional insights, is what will surely differentiate Kre8 Media in the years ahead. This critical convergence of data, approach and intelligence, melded in with the agency's renowned heritage in data, will pave the path to the analytics of tomorrow."
