Dx Analytics (formerly Mavens of London) is a digital research and strategy consulting team, born out of a unique combination of digital expertise gained at the forefront of online research, strategy, and activation for some of the world’s largest brands. Dx Analytics was formed from Mavens of London, a boutique digital consultancy acquired by Kantar in early 2020 to expand Kantar’s digital analytics & research expertise.
Dx Analytics’ work is truly global, across industries and continents. We distinguish ourselves by using search engine and social media data to provide insights into people and their behavior, translating this into online strategies that drive genuine business benefits.
Our role is to help brands understand how the digital landscape works, and what they can learn about their customers there, from trends in Google searches and Twitter conversations to the sales uplifts from new forms of digital media. Mining consumer data trails from social listening, eCommerce sites, reviews sites, forums, and blogs, Dx Analytics leverages the large-scale raw data of the internet, and uses it to map and understand the paths that brands should tread, feeding into marketing strategy, product innovation, and more.
