TRIPLE REVENUE WITH INSIGHTS

As the head of customer insights of this Mobile Carrier, David had everything sorted. UNTIL this rainy April morning in 2013…

John, the CEO, asked this billion-dollar question, but frustratingly David could not provide a proper answer – simply because all his vendors just offered similar out-of-the-box methodologies. Nobody seemed to be able to customize the cutting methods to solve HIS very problems.

David turned to its internal Data Science team, then to the local University, but they were not that specialized and did not accept the project until next year anyway.

Suddenly this email from David’s German peer Andreas landed in his inbox. “Speak with Frank from Success Drivers. They are an AI Insights Lab and helped me revolutionize Loyalty drivers as well as MMM”

The rest is history. David’s work shaped a marketing strategy, that multiplied the revenue of the company in the coming years and made his CEO the rockstar and legend of the industry.

Success Drivers MISSION is to create novel insights solutions that enable unimaginable insights possibilities for enterprises

THE REBIRTH OF CAUSALITY

It was a wonderful spring in 1999 when Professor Klaus-Peter Wiedmann met his Ph.D. candidate Frank Buckler.

Klaus-Peter jotted down something that looked like spaghetti and explained to Frank, “Neural Nets represent network like the cause and effects systems in marketing. There must be a way to use AI to help to find success drivers”.

After dozens of sleepless nights, Frank got the Eureka moment under the shower. His NEUSREL software went beta two years later, and his doctoral thesis earned “summa cum laude”.

Since then, Frank is advancing the approach, the software, and fire-testing it with the world’s most reputed brands.

TRUTH HIDES BEHIND FACTS
Our CORE BELIEFS Are

Causality

is the single most crucial assumption underlying ANY business decision. That’s why appropriate insights methods use causal analysis or frameworks.

Artificial Intelligence

is the core tech enabling the link between data and hidden truth

Collaboration

with other tech vendors enables us to offer the world best solutions

Context

gives data a meaning – the same way does data science need marketing science to drive impact.
