our story
Our founder and CEO, Jeff D. Brazell is a Professor of Marketing at the University of Utah and Director of the Center for Strategic Analytics. He also has over 25 years’ experience in industry helping business leaders make better, data-supported marketing decisions.
In a hypercompetitive world that demands smarter, faster decisions, he has heard the same complaint from leaders in all sizes of companies: ”Why can’t I get the information I need when I need it without costing me so much?”
Current processes and methods are:

SILOED
DISCONNECTED
POORLY SOCIALIZED

Recently, under the direction of President Taylor Randall at the University of Utah, Dr. Brazell led a team to bring actionable insights to decision makers for business school Master’s degree programs at a small fraction of the price of doing custom research.
The team designed the research and data collection focused on aspiring business masters-level students to understand the market, typing current students to understand which market segments a university is currently capturing, then reviewing the website and other recruiting collateral to understand how a school is attracting or repelling aspiring-student segments and how it can do better.
This kind of research and consulting would normally cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but after leveraging it at the University of Utah, President Randall wanted to make it available to other schools at a small fraction that cost.
