Community Analytics is a research organization that is based on the principles of social networking. As a Social Network Research Associate (RA), you are the heart of Community Analytics, connecting us to community members. Through one-on-one interviews, you will personally engage members to understand their opinions and the relationships that are important to them.
We reach out to both professional and alumni communities to discover relationships and understand the community pain points, which are relayed to our research sponsor. Our Analytics Team maps these relationships through social network algorithms and identifies the group that needs to have a voice.
For example, our RAs interviewed alumni from a private University and uncovered a startling trend. Many alumni really want to be involved with the University but they were disconnected because they moved away and events were only held on campus. Alumni suggested that the University hold regional events and other functions so that they could be more involved. So, our consultants worked with the University to plan regional events where a few Key Network Members were invited to speak. This greatly improved alumni involvement, because not only did the University listen to their alumni by holding regional events, but they invited people to speak that are important to them, the Key Network Members. In the end the community was happier and the University recruited 4 new Trustees.
Creating more of these positive experiences starts with our Social Network Research Associates! We strive to create an environment that allows for good conversation and reflection between you and the community. We don’t conduct surveys; we have genuine conversations where Members feel good about talking to us and sharing their thoughts.
