9Rooftops Launches Trajectory, New Data Driven Marketing Division

Aims to uncover valuable insights, fuel smarter marketing strategies and spark growth

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, 9Rooftops, a leading integrated marketing agency, announced the launch of their new data-driven marketing division, Trajectory, which uses data science and machine learning to bring the most advanced analytical methods to common marketing issues. As marketers continue to shift strategies in response to privacy protections, business intelligence is transforming, and they need to understand why and what levers can be pulled in response to these changes. Trajectory helps clients unlock the true potential of their data, delivering unexpected insights that connect brands to their consumers.

Co-led by young industry titans Amy Nixon, SVP, Director of Strategy, and Josh MacCarty, Vice President, Director of Data Science and Analytics, the new division is excited to help brands get the most from their data, using a flexible, scalable model. Nixon and MacCarty will continue to provide data marketing services to existing 9Rooftops clients, who are already leveraging Trajectory’s marketing strategies.

“There’s an art and science to what we do – by harnessing the power of data and adding context and strategy, we deliver a data-backed strategic roadmap,” said Amy Nixon, SVP, Director of Strategy. “Trajectory was born from the idea that marketers have fundamental questions they ought to be able to answer but increasingly, can’t. ‘What was the effect of this program on sales?’ ‘How can I generate more traffic?’ Whether it’s identifying marketing attribution or forecasting with confidence, Trajectory provides answers to make marketers’ jobs easier.”

“Brands with access to transactional data are sitting on a literal treasure trove of strategic assets and have only partially transformed this information – sometimes, not at all,” said Kevin Meany, CEO at 9Rooftops. “We’ll help companies gain a significant advantage by leveraging data in highly competitive categories – this is where Trajectory will play an instrumental role in refining strategic analysis.”

Nixon hails from 9Rooftops and prior, FCB Chicago – she has more than 15 years of experience partnering with marketers to best reach consumers and has worked across CPG, retail, healthcare, wine/spirits and more, on brands including SC Johnson, Kraft, Bayer and International Truck. MacCarty is an economist and data science leader and has been bridging the art and science of data analysis for more than 12 years. Uniquely balanced between business acumen and economics, Josh has been recognized as DMN’s “National 40 Under 40 Marketers” for his use of data science to solve business problems and is a three times best-seller on learning platform Udemy for his course, “Foundations of Machine Learning.”

MacCarty stated, “Whether you know exactly what you need, or just know you want to get more from your data, we work with clients of all sizes and levels of data sophistication – the breadth of our capabilities is sweeping. We have a top-tier data science team of machine learning experts, econometricians, statisticians, analysts and more who help clients navigate strategic data opportunities to elevate marketing and improve ROI, far surpassing data alone.”

9Rooftops, best known for their work with established brands like Qdoba Mexican Eats, New Amsterdam Vodka, Jelmar/CLR, Belle Tire, The Coca-Cola Company and Barilla, is headquartered in Chicago.
