Data Driven Decision Making

You need more than just big data. You need more than just math. You need a team that understands how to drive results.

Whether you need to expand your data capabilities, develop custom ML models, or analyze big sets of data, we approach every question with a strong business background and focus on context and outcomes.

Data Science & Machine Learning

There isn't a single approach that works for every problem. We collaborate with you to deploy and run custom models for your specific business challenges.

Predictions

We can help you predict even the most complicated relationships in your data, including understanding what granularities can be predicted, how far into the future, with what level of accuracy, and based on which inputs.

Data Engineering

You don't just need ETL - you need to ensure your data is business ready and frustration free.

We are more than just data engineers. We know how to ensure the data you need is structured, prepped, and delivered just how you need it, when you need it, and where you need it.

Data Schema & Prep

Our business focus helps us ensure that data is cleansed, joined, and processed in ways that make an impact on the business. Make sure your company's internal knowledge and metadata is baked into your models.

No matter the data source, we can help you access data in a way that makes it immediately actionable, and available in all the places it is needed.

Recent Data Science Success

For any company who spends millions on paid media, we built a production model that quickly predicts how well a campaign will perform, reducing CPA and improving marketing efficacy.

17%

Average Reduction in CPA

The Problem:

With millions of dollars of marketing spend on the line, the faster you can figure out how well your dollars are working, or even more importantly NOT working, the faster you can optimize and tune your efforts.

Our Solution:

We created a model that benchmarks how marketing campaigns ramp up from the first initial hours through the first few days of every new campaign, and also measures how Channel, Network, Audience type, and budget allocation impact performance of the campaign. With minimal signals we use those benchmarks to predict and compare how well a new campaign performs, giving our customers the fastest way to determine how well every dollar is working towards their goals.

The Result:

We help you shorten the learning phase and launch successful campaigns quickly with the greatest impact.

And our models aren’t limited by the size of the marketing budget – it works on small budget campaigns as well as large!

The smartest companies trust Pickaxe.
