314 Polling, Politics, and Developing Empathy w/ John Dick of CivicScience

When you think of a polling company, you probably think of Nielsen or Gallup. John Dick is going to change that.   As the Founder and CEO of CivicScience, John is building a modern consumer and media analytics company based in Pittsburgh. He and his team are reinventing consumer polling for a digital and mobile-first environment.   We discuss how polling has gotten more difficult as media and telecommunications have become more fragmented, the challenges of hiring technical and marketing talent, and how looking at the data has made John more empathetic.   Never miss one of our best episodes by subscribing to the newsletter.   John’s Challenge; Get out of your tribe.
