In 2016, using #twitter (now known as #X) data and advanced #socialscience methods, we defied conventional polling predictions to forecast two major victories: Sadiq Khan as Mayor of London and Donald Trump as the US President. I still remember sharing these predictions during a keynote in London—only to be met with disbelief and ridicule. #TraditionalPolling is outdated and belongs in the past.

📊 Traditional polling is broken. In today’s fast-paced political landscape, relying on outdated methods is a recipe for inaccurate insights. 🔍 In my latest article, I explore why social science-based research methods provide a deeper, more accurate understanding of voter behavior, helping political campaigns create strategies that truly resonate. It’s time to move beyond the numbers and tap into the real drivers behind political decisions. 👉 Read this article to learn how we can revolutionize political research and move into the future first. https://lnkd.in/gSPMb7Jr #PoliticalResearch #SocialScience #Polling #VoterInsights #DataDriven #CampaignStrategies #Leadership #Innovation #Growth #FutureForward

Outside of work, Cara enjoys swimming, visiting beaches, attending concerts, and capturing unique moments during her travels around the world. Reflecting on her journey, Cara shares, “I’ve always loved traveling, and through my experiences, I’ve developed a deep interest in cross-cultural differences, human behavior, and understanding why people do what they do. This curiosity led me to the world of market research. I’m excited to continue growing as a researcher with the S+R family.” We love how Cara brings her rich, international travel experiences into her work in market research.
