Emerald Thinking
Data Planning and ANALYTICS AGENCY
Meet our founding team
Founder, Head of Data Planning and Analytics
With over 20 years’ experience in data strategy, analytics, CRM, digital transformation and Customer Experience, Claire has a passion for all … things data and all it can tell you about human behaviour. After working client side and running big network agency data teams at Proximity and Oliver, Claire wanted to challenge the status quo on the human insights that data can uncover – finding new ways to identify consumer’s needs, passions, motivations, barriers and what they really talk about. And so, she created Emerald Thinking.

Clare has over 10 years’ experience with data strategy, CRM, analytics, social listening and behavioural science. Her insights have played a key part in driving growth by launching successful brand … strategies across automotive, beauty, telecoms and financial services brands. There has been, and continues to be, seismic shifts in how consumers communicate with each other and businesses and Clare is dedicated to ensuring brands are contextually relevant to individuals at every stage in their journey.

partnerships
Partnering Agencies
We’ve always thought Big Data can play a valuable role in Research. So, we set out to develop partnerships with Agencies that do not traditionally use Big Data, such as Research Agencies and Planning Agencies. Enabling us to extend the reach and appreciation of Big Data and the human insights it delivers. And more importantly enabling us to Innovate with our Partners to develop new products and new ways of using data for their clients! What a dream.
Partnering Our Clients
We not only work in partnership with Agencies but with our Clients. Rather than us telling you the answer, we’ve found the most effective way of working with our Clients is to co-create the challenge and the solution. A bit like the Doctors if we only fix the symptoms, we will never fully solve the problem. So, we work closely with our clients to identify the cause of a business problem, co-create what this means and workshop the human insights we uncover from their data to ensure we solve the root cause of the business problem.
