Global Strategy Group has formed an analytics practice with the addition of Emily Norman, an analytics consultant for President Obama's campaign and McKinsey & Company.
GSG said Norman leads an existing team of data scientists and digital pros that complement its respected Democratic polling unit under Nick Gourevitch and Jefrey Pollock.
