Sleeping Giant Media are looking for a brand new Giant to join a developing team, helping analyse data for clients, and train others how to get the best results from what you develop.

What are we talking about?

If you don't measure it you can't manage it! That is what we are all about, measuring actions and the impacts of those actions with the ultimate aim of gaining Actionable insight to make better decisions.
