using social and computer science to grow your impact

Making a difference is not new to our founders. Our founders worked with leaders at the American Automobile Association to discover how Pokemon GO players were driving dangerously. Leading to the restriction of some game features at driving speeds.

Our founders discovered how American Cancer Society’s Great American Smokeout’s message to encourage cessation first spread on news media, was then shared on social media, and how it motivated the public to seek out cessation resources online and by phone. Ultimately outlining how the Great American Smokeout could be made better.

Our founders first reported on how Charlie Sheen’s HIV status disclosure impacted public help seeking and testing regarding HIV and HIV risk behaviors. Reporting on this finding led to a second bump in HIV testing eclipsing the impact of traditional awareness days.

Discover your population

by mining social media with our one-of-a-kind tools

Social media provide a pathway to understand your population unlike ever before, both answering questions you have and discovering new insights you never anticipated. For instance, our investigators partnered with leading experts in driving safety, including the American Automobile Association, to discover how augmented reality game players were driving while playing from social media posts. Ultimately these findings led the Niantic, the maker of the popular Pokemon Go game, to make many feature of their game inaccessible at driving speeds.

Ask your population

Surveys have been made more accessible by online vendors like Google Surveys, but a significant barrier remains: Who designs the survey and are you asking the right questions? Good Analytics is changing how surveys are designed and analyzed by removing the guesswork from what questions should be asked…
