The Company:

BlueLabs is a leading provider of analytics services and technology for government, business, and campaigns.

Along the way, we’ve developed some of the most innovative tools available in analytics, media optimization, reporting, and influencer outreach.

The Team:

The BlueLabs Government Analytics practice revolutionizes the way government agencies use data to streamline operations, interact with citizens, and react to their biggest challenges. Our team develops deep expertise within the areas our clients care about most, then builds data analytics systems that create impact at scale. We work closely with internal government innovation groups, and build on the analytics methodology pioneered in e-commerce, advocacy, politics, and consumer finance.

Our work builds the frameworks and infrastructure that allows agencies to deal with big public health challenges.
