At Ekimetrics, we help companies seize their data opportunities by creating new data and analytics capabilities and deploying data science solutions that power-up their revenue strategy (MMM, customer analytics, brand tracking...) or business model (data lake implementation, data strategies, data transformation...).

Our difference lies in an integrated approach to performance, and in the desire to reaffirm the value of understanding the business model, which we believe is at the heart of transforming data into new business assets.

At Ekimetrics, we believe our best assets are our people. They are what set us apart and drive our success. We encourage entrepreneurial spirit and innovation. We share what we know with others and, above all, we love what we do. These sentiments are supported by our company values which serve as pillars in our work and attitude: curiosity, creativity, excellence, transmission, and pleasure.
