Associations
Advocate, educate, build community, and operate programs—the mandate of associations is as broad as their missions are diverse. We create data analysis and visualization tools to support associations with every facet of their organization, from amplifying advocacy campaigns to increasing operational efficiency.
Advocacy
Inspire action with powerful, data-driven storytelling that amplifies the issues your members care about.
Data is the foundation of every advocacy campaign, but unwieldy spreadsheets and complicated charts distract and complicate your message. Our interactive data stories and dashboards communicate clearly and inspire your membership to act.
Case Study
Storymap Advocates for Salmon Recovery in Washington State
In response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, the Association of Washington Cities needed to persuade the state legislature to advance a watershed-based strategic plan to address local fish-blocking culverts. Using our spatial analytics and interactive design expertise, we illuminated the issue with a stunning data story.
Analysis
Figure out what’s working and what isn’t with the help of our experienced analysts.
Sometimes you need to dig a little deeper to truly understand the issues. Our depth of experience in quantitative, qualitative, and spatial analysis means we help you identify the root cause of long-standing challenges and develop innovative and comprehensive solutions.

Case Study
Association Optimizes Event Marketing with Data Analytics and Dashboard
The Association of Washington Cities had been collecting event attendance data for years, but without an easy way to visualize the information AWC could not efficiently identify their less engaged members. We created a Tableau dashboard with a user-friendly interface to quickly reveal the segments of AWC’s membership that routinely participated in events and those that required additional outreach, helping the association optimize event marketing.
“The AWC Event Analytics Dashboard combined years of event attendance information we’ve always wanted to know in a user-friendly, dynamic and informative way. We were able to quickly and easily analyze the information in order to develop a targeted plan that resulted in increased attendance at our major events.” —Tonia Sugarman, Association of Washington Cities Director of Member Services
Engagement
Move members and stakeholders to take action on the issues that matter most.
Your members inboxes are filling up with endless messages: calls to action, funding requests, and more. Spread your message with an interactive dashboard or data story and make your organization—and your mission-—stand out from the crowd.
Case Study
Social Media-Integrated Dashboard Advocates for City Funding
The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities wanted to keep their members informed about COVID-19 and inspire them to advocate for increased municipal funding. We created a COVID-19 dashboard that lets users easily tweet a message of support for local government funding at their congressional representatives.
