Since 2014, we’ve helped political parties, brands, and nonprofits make decisions that hold up under pressure.
YEAR BY YEAR
Where it started
Data Sciences was founded in Montréal to bring messaging precision and data strategy to election campaigns, where the impact is public and deadlines don’t move.
Proven at national scale
Our team ran data, message testing, and digital strategy for a national election campaign and showed what evidence-led campaigning can do at scale.
Beyond campaigns
We took the same discipline to brands, nonprofits and institutions: research, analytics and marketing for decisions with real stakes.
Across borders
Teams in Europe, Australia, Asia, and clients across several continents and industries.
One group
Phil joins in April, giving the philanthropy sector a dedicated home. DS AI launches. Specialized companies, one standard of rigour and precision.
What guides our work
Follow the campsite rule
Leave every client, team and project better than we found it.
Evidence over opinion
We test what will work before anyone spends on it, and we change course when the data does.
Show our work
We explain how we reached an answer, including what the data can’t tell us.
Start with people
Our work is about understanding people, inside the team and out.
Rigour under pressure
Campaigns taught us to move fast without cutting corners. Deadlines don’t lower the standard.
