Function Data - Modern Data Consulting

85% of all data-initiatives fail, not because of the technology used, but because of the process. Strategies get made, campaigns get started and data tells you it didn’t work. So a new campaign is made. That’s too linear!

Stop thinking linear

We think of data as a product.

Innovate your in-house data culture by using our expertise

Our white paper

JADS is a unique cooperation between Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). They offer various data science programs. From bachelor and master programs to professional education. JADS’ amazing campus is located in an old monastery in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, which we think is super cool. It is good to know that for the year 2 and year 3 program we compose a learning agreement. Here we agree on some terms in case you decide to end the employment agreement in the year following the year that the program was followed.

We are quite proud to announce that we partnered up with JADS* to offer a 3-year professional education program that will help you to further develop to an all-round data science professional.

These brands are already adopting our approach to achieve better results.

The core of Function. 

The biggest challenge towards successful data initiatives is often that companies are simply not structured to perform successful data projects that drive value. 

We advise on how to embed the right approach and tech in your organisation, in order to enable everyone in your organisation to flourish in their data efforts. 

Data Culture Building

We advise on how modern business processes can be embedded in an organisation to innovate its marketing practices. 

Modern marketing can become quite complex: we want to leverage data because data analysts found insightful opportunities. That data is dependent on a team of back-end engineers, made available and transformed by analytics developers, and requested by a team of marketeers.
 
Together we work towards an agile marketing process that tests consumer behaviors and reacts quickly to changes. 

Data Marketing Innovation

Uncover the current status of your data organisation. 

Auditing and assessing data is the fundament for finding the insights that allow 
 for better business decisions to be made. We map and clarify the current architecture, and assess all data that moves through it. 

At Function, we refer to the end-to-end architecture and data flows as the Data Supply Chain. We set out a path for every organisation towards a clean, well structured supply chain that allows for smooth operations and little frustration. 

Data Quality and Architecture audits

Our data team focuses on a variety of analytics, technical marketing, data engineering and data quality topics.

Where it all begins. At Function, we have learned that collecting qualitative data is the missing link towards value in a lot of data initiatives. 

We build solid solutions that collect validated, qualitative data from your digital products such as websites and apps, and external marketing data sources. 

We incorporate various validation, monitoring and governing principles and use a no-nonsense approach to demystify principles like first-party and third-party data.

Qualitative Data Collection

The path from data to information. To us, analytics development is the  umbrella term for the technical web analytics and analytics engineering expertise. 

We build the data infrastructure and data pipelines into various analytics platforms, and configure each solution towards the custom needs of our clients. 

We adapt software best practices in all data initiatives that we build. This enables qualitative and maintainable analytics products. 

Analytics Development

Combining behavioural, product and marketing data using a down-to-earth, privacy-first approach to identity resolutions. 

We build and configure a wide variety of Customer Data Platforms (CDP's). Our CDP implementations can be enabled in collaboration with one of our tech partners, or be custom built on Google Cloud Platform. 

Either way, we leverage our unique approach to data projects, levering a short time-to-value. 

Customer Data Infrastructures

The backbone of modern marketing strategies. We demystify what can - and cannot - be accomplished in modern marketing and implement an agile marketing process to test consumer behaviors and react quickly to changes. 

We build attribution models, personalisation use cases and customer journey predictions. 

Get to know the ins and outs in working with big tech enterprises like Facebook, uncover the concrete possibilities and opportunities, and together we build a winning approach for your organisation. 

Technical Marketing

Unlocking the insights from gathered information, and enable data-driven decisions. 

We build a variety of data capabilities that help you make better decisions: from intuitive dashboards to complex models. The elaborate experience with a variety of analytics platforms and tools helps us in servicing every organisation. 

As always with the aim to help your organisation become truly data-driven.
