- Offer expert consultancy on CRO to our clients through our CRO and Marketing Audits, and our own marketing efforts.
- Collect, report, and analyse data across all our projects to ensure we deliver the best service to clients. You’ll support the business by improving our methods for monitoring client data, then providing actionable insights to the rest of the team and clients.
