Data with a pulse.
We're a team of engineers and strategists dedicated to fixing the broken state of digital analytics. We believe that trust and transparency are the most valuable currencies in the digital age.
Who We Work With
We build our best work with companies that want a true partner — not just a vendor.
Ideal Client Profile:
Growth Stage
Rapidly scaling companies or mature organizations undergoing digital transformation
Company Size
$100M - $1B annual revenue (upper mid-market preferred)
Industries
B2B ecommerce, B2B SaaS, automotive, D2C ecommerce
Data Maturity
Intermediate — tools in place but uncoordinated or not yielding insights
You're a Great Fit If:
- You're a CMO, CTO, or VP of Marketing who bridges business strategy with technical needs
- You need to optimize marketing spend, meet compliance requirements, or prepare for AI integration
- You value speed and efficiency without sacrificing strategic depth
- You want a partner who combines empathy with visionary data transformation
"The best relationships grow over time — each win earns us the right to take on more complex, valuable work together."
How We Work
We keep our process lean, strategic, and focused on outcomes — not overhead.
1. Start with a Conversation
Most of our clients find us through referrals — and they stay because we deliver. The first step is a simple conversation to understand what’s not working and where we can help.
2. Tailored Scoping
If we’re the right fit, we’ll map out a solution together — either over a follow-up call or via email. No guesswork. No boilerplate. Just 20+ years of experience applied to your specific challenge.
3. Custom Engagements
We offer both fixed-scope projects and ongoing retainers, depending on your needs. Whether it's a one-time overhaul or a long-term strategic partnership, we bring focus, speed, and results.
4. Deliver. Then Deliver Again.
Clients stay with us because the work works. We don’t do fluff — just consistent value, clearly delivered.
Our Values
At Stacked Analytics, we believe data should do more than look impressive — it should drive action.
1. Usefulness Over Complexity
We don’t build dashboards for dashboards’ sake. If it doesn’t help someone do their job better, it’s not finished. Simplicity is a feature, not a compromise.
2. Strategy First, Tools Second
Great tools are wasted without a plan. We start with your goals and design data systems that support actual business decisions — not just metrics.
3. Teach as We Go
We want you to be stronger when we leave than when we arrive. Our clients get smarter, more confident, and more capable with every engagement.
4. Earn Trust Through Craft
From clean GA4 setups to executive-ready dashboards, we sweat the details so you don’t have to. Reliable data is our baseline.
5. Be Approachable, Always
Data shouldn’t be intimidating. We communicate clearly, skip the jargon, and act like real humans — because that's what gets things done.
