Describe what you do at Kantar in one sentence.
I analyse digital data, including what people are talking about on social media or what they're searching for online, to provide consumer insights that help our clients make better marketing and business decisions.

What does your job involve, day-to-day?
I lead the delivery of digital research programs for our clients. This includes working with brands across many sectors and applying different data approaches to best answer their questions. I also manage client relationships, which means understanding their business challenges and helping them find the right solution. Alongside my day-to-day job, I'm a member of the Learning & Development committee, working to improve the onboarding process and training for our team members.
