“I could not have been happier with the service from weareCrank. They dug straight into the heart of our data and we were astonished with the number of insights they unearthed. It is especially refreshing to find someone who can provide true, actionable insight, not just a list of statistics. We have come away with a shopping list of actions to take, prioritised against our business objectives – a neat “to do” list with clear financial values against each one – the kind of analysis that is invaluable for a busy team. Plus, they’re a real pleasure to deal with at every step”
