January 2008 : Professional Fundraising - Geo-demographic profiling enabled Sense Scotland to increase income generated by 50%
"We decided to analyse our donors on the three indicators that we feel are most significant. They are MOSAIC Scotland demographic groupings, council tax bands and household income. From this, we created indices for each of the activities we wanted to measure. We then sent the list of people who had been asked to convert to CCR Data Ltd, the independent data bureaux, who tagged each of the donors with the above indicators. This allowed us to assess our previous activity and the performance of each group in several different ways. It was just as important to know who didn’t respond as those who did; which groups of people responded to what type of appeal and which didn’t; who responded best to a paper based solicitation and who preferred the telephone. The purpose of the exercise was to discover what people actually expected from charities so that we could target our messages according to the most positive response."

March 2007 CCR Data Director makes polar trek history
A UK team who have made history by reaching the centre of Antarctica without mechanical assistance have spoken of their epic journey.
Rory Sweet, a Non-Executive Director of CCR Data used only skis and kites to travel 1,093 miles (1,750km) to the Pole of Inaccessibility. Scientists and etymologists are now discussing its new title.
The Pole of Inaccessibility is marked by a life-size bust of Lenin, left by a Russian team who reached the pole using vehicles in 1958.
"We saw this black dot on the horizon. It got larger, and then we saw this silhouette of the statue. It was so surreal after traveling across 1,750km of flat Antarctic plateau."

'Mind-numbing'
The team experienced "serious lows and highs" throughout their journey.
"We had three or four days without a breath of wind. Our bodies seemed to relax. When we started again, the pain was mind-numbing."
