About Elevate Insights
Amanda Robertson spent more than twenty years turning data into decisions, much of it inside the Walmart ecosystem, rising from analyst to national account manager. Elevate brings that same research to the brands and local businesses that usually can't get near it.
The story
For two decades, Amanda watched capable operators make their biggest calls on research that was thin, out of date, or both. Not because they were careless. Because doing it right was priced for enterprise budgets, and most of them didn’t have one.
She knew the gap firsthand. Over those years she rose from analyst to national account manager, much of it inside the Walmart ecosystem, learning exactly how a buyer weighs a supplier against its category and its price. The research she delivered went to some of retail’s most recognizable names, work where the number has to be right and the deadline doesn’t move.
Elevate is built on that standard. Every brief answers one real decision and ships in days, at a published price. No locked retainers. No eighty-page report answering a question you never asked.
The method
It starts with a discovery call, where Amanda maps the decision you’re facing and the sources it will take to answer it. From there the work blends primary intercepts, when time allows, with secondary synthesis from government, trade, and market data. What comes back is written for a decision-maker, not a committee.
How she works
Every project is shaped around one specific decision before it starts. If data can't answer the question, you'll hear that first, not after the invoice.
Each claim traces to a named, dated source, and the source list ships with the brief. Not a footnote, not an afterthought.
Data without a point of view is just a spreadsheet. Every brief closes with a clear call tied to the decision behind it.
My job isn’t to hand you data. It’s to turn that data into a clear direction — and that only works when we start from the right question.
Work with Elevate
No junior analysts, no account managers, no handoffs. You talk to Amanda on the call, Amanda does the research, and Amanda delivers the brief.
