Who we are

A little better than the median isn't good enough.

Incite Studio is a boutique data science and research consultancy.

We're a team of strategists, data scientists, researchers, and engineers. We help our clients with practical solutions, platform strategy, and research to protect and strengthen brand reputation, get ahead of the news cycle, and shift public opinion. We believe effective persuasion is equal parts creativity and analysis — a unique approach that's helped our partners, from Fortune 100 tech to civic organizations, foundations, investors, and others with a story to tell, create, test, and better understand the effectiveness of digital media.
