Sayker Analytics: The Newest Addition to the ICS Family

We are proud to introduce Sayker Analytics, the newest member of the privately held ICS ecosystem. Sayker was born from a challenge we could no longer ignore. Across clients and industries, we kept seeing the same story: large, costly, rigid data platforms; campaigns with unclear ROI; high acquisition costs paired with inefficient targeting; and wasted effort caused by outdated or inaccurate data.

The name Sayker is inspired by the Saker falcon, known for its precision, speed, and vision. Like the falcon, our goal is to give clients a clearer perspective, faster insights, and more accurate targeting. Sayker Analytics was built to turn data into actionable intelligence, helping organizations make better decisions and drive measurable impact.

As a privately held company, Sayker can operate differently. We offer clients flexible, independent, execution-focused analytics that translate directly into measurable results.

Why We Built Sayker Analytics

Sayker Analytics was not born from a single moment of inspiration, but from a recurring pattern that became impossible to ignore. Across clients, industries, and use cases, rigid, legacy approaches were increasingly constraining data management and targeting. Platforms were large and established, but meaningful improvements were slow, costly, and difficult to implement.

What stood out most was not a lack of data. It was a lack of flexibility. Working in environments where analytics directly informs marketing execution sharpens priorities. When decisions impact production volumes, media spend, and real dollars, data quality and model performance are operational necessities—targeting needs to improve continuously. Models must evolve with changing conditions. Accountability matters.

Too often, existing systems made this harder rather than easier.

The Pattern We Kept Seeing

Many organizations rely on large, legacy data providers to power their analytics. These platforms offer scale and familiarity, but also come with tradeoffs. Even modest changes, such as new data inputs, revised targeting assumptions, or adjusted modeling approaches, can take months and significant budget.

This friction discouraged experimentation and innovation. Analytics lagged behind business needs instead of enabling them. Data management became increasingly complex, targeting changes were difficult to implement, and improving models often felt more like a procurement task than a problem-solving effort. The result was analytics that appeared sophisticated on paper but struggled to keep pace with how businesses actually operate.

What Clients Actually Needed

The answer was not more data or bigger platforms.

What clients needed was control. Flexibility. An independent perspective that could challenge assumptions instead of reinforcing them. They needed analytics that could keep pace with their business, not be months behind it.

They needed a partner that could manage data thoughtfully, refine targeting continuously, and evolve models without the overhead and rigidity of traditional approaches. Someone close enough to execution to understand the real constraints and consequences of decisions.

That gap is what led to Sayker Analytics.

What We Believe

Sayker was built around a simple belief. Independent, nimble data science, embedded close to execution, produces better outcomes.

When analytics is tightly integrated into how marketing is executed, targeting becomes more precise. Waste is reduced. Decisions improve because feedback loops are shorter and accountability is clearer.

Being independent matters. It allows us to focus on what is best for the client, not what fits within a predefined platform or product roadmap. It allows us to adapt quickly as data sources change, channels evolve, and business priorities shift.

At the same time, scale and efficiency still matter. That is why Sayker operates as part of the broader ICS family. This structure allows us to pair advanced data management, targeting, and modeling with tighter integration into production and execution. Insights do not stop at a dashboard. They translate directly into operational outcomes.

The goal is not analytics for analytics’ sake. The goal is measurable impact.

Who Sayker Is For

Sayker Analytics is built for B2B and B2C organizations that rely on data-driven targeting and decisioning and want better control over their data, models, and results.

We are particularly aligned with direct mail, where analytics must translate into physical production decisions and real costs. Precision matters. Waste is visible. Performance is measurable.

At the same time, our work is fully omnichannel. The analytics we develop are executable across mail, digital, and other marketing and sales channels. The channel is secondary to the outcome.

Why Now

The data landscape is changing quickly. Privacy constraints, signal loss, rising costs, and increasing pressure on marketing efficiency are forcing organizations to rethink how they use data.

Legacy approaches are struggling to adapt. Flexibility is no longer optional.

Sayker Analytics exists to help organizations navigate that shift with clarity, speed, and accountability, not by promising silver bullets, but by doing the hard, practical work of better data management, smarter targeting, and models that improve over time.

This is the work we have been doing for years. Sayker is simply the natural next step.
