Portfolio
Some of my work:
Data Science & Advanced Analytics
Business case for an Editorial Publisher: the Factors and Clusters Analysis helped segment subscribers with similar editorial content preferences, gaining deeper intelligence about the customer base.
Business Questions: Can we use data to identify product preferences segments? What is their profile? How do they link to value and overall performance KPIs?
The model allowed to group subscribers with similar characteristics and to gain deeper insights about their size, profile and KPIs performance.
Distinct Cohorts & Profiles

Outcome: A detailed information about customer’s product preferences and a dedicated reporting tool, to help monitor profiles, monitor performance and inform strategic decisions. The model allowed to create targeting lists and recommendations for personalisation to use for Marketing strategies, resulting in an uplift in communication response and overall performance over time compared to traditional targeting.
A look-alike model was also implemented to automate the groups, to monitor the profiles generated and insights on a monthly basis, and to project the work on new acquired customers.
