About Citizen Codex

Our ethos
Citizen Codex was born out of a frustration felt by leaders at well-meaning institutions, who produce groundbreaking information that remains trapped and unseen.
Citizen Codex is a creative data agency that exists to liberate research and data through the power of data journalism. For too long, knowledge rich institutions have struggled to communicate their research, having to rely on the media to translate and distribute for them.

But as the tools and talent available to create beautiful and engaging stories have exploded, these institutions have the opportunity to easily and cost effectively broadcast their knowledge on their own.

We work directly with research centers, think tanks, advocacy organizations, and other similar institutions to help them share their insights and data more clearly with the world. Through innovative digital experiences, we bring complex data sets into the future, ensuring that every interaction becomes a profound information moment.

Our Services: How we work with partners.

Story Crafting
When you have a mountain of data, it’s easy to get bogged down with the volume and technical complexity. We help you process and extract information from any type of data. We provide data science and engineering support so that researchers can focus on what matters most: generating insights.

Story Telling
We work with researchers to create beautiful visual graphics and captivating stories to enable wide engagement and reach. Sometimes these stories are better communicated through interactivity. We build highly engaging interactive tools and visuals that bring complex data to life.

Story Sharing
Amazing insights are useless if they don’t get into the hands of the people who need it most. We create communication approaches that help maximize engagement across social media platforms and communities.
