For my Google Data Analysis Certificate Capstone project, I leveraged a publicly available Fitbit dataset on Kaggle to conduct a case study. This analysis explored potential marketing strategies for the company Bellabeat. The course provided both the data and a pre-defined scenario. Completing the capstone project was optional, but it allowed me to apply the six stages of data analysis: Ask, Prepare, Process, Analyze, Share, and Act. While I used Python for this project, the Google Data Analysis curriculum traditionally utilises R for the same analysis.

BellaBeat - Using Fitness Data to Inform Marketing Strategy

Scenario: As a junior data analyst in Bellabeat's marketing analytics team, I leveraged smart device data to contribute to the company's growth strategy. My goal was to uncover insights that would shape future marketing campaigns.

Background: Bellabeat is a health-focused tech company for women. They develop wearables like the "Leaf" tracker and "Time" watch, along with the Bellabeat app, to track biometric and lifestyle data. This data empowers women to understand their bodies and make healthier choices.

Analysis: I focused on sleep and activity data. After data review, I transformed dates, merged the datasets, and cleaned them by removing duplicates and "n/a" values. Box plots helped identify outliers, which were then excluded.

Insights and Recommendations:

  • The analysis revealed a negative correlation between sleep time and activity levels.

  • This suggests a marketing campaign emphasising the importance of sleep monitoring for those seeking high activity levels.

  • A positive correlation was also found between activity and calorie consumption.

  • This highlights the value of monitoring or regulating calorie intake for a healthy lifestyle.

Marketing Opportunity: Targeting consumers interested in managing activity and calorie intake presents a strong opportunity. By promoting the sleep monitoring capabilities of the "Time" watch and "Leaf" tracker, and the calorie tracking features of the Bellabeat app, we can effectively target and engage this audience.

Objective: The project aimed to identify factors influencing energy demand over time. This would allow AusEnergy to make data-driven decisions for energy production planning.

Analysis Approach:

  • Data Transformation: I used spreadsheet software to transform the raw CSV data into tables and charts that visualised energy demand patterns.

  • Data Exploration: Conditional formatting was used to highlight periods of high and low energy usage and prices.

  • Market Research: I conducted online research to understand price deflation trends in Australia during the examined period. This research informed the interpretation of my findings.

  • Data Visualization: I presented my analysis using scatter plots and line graphs to showcase the relationships between factors and energy demand.

Key Findings:

  • My analysis revealed how holidays and weather conditions significantly impact energy demand.

  • The project also identified the potential benefits of implementing a relational database and a data visualisation tool like Tableau for AusEnergy's data management and analysis.

Deliverables:

  • I created a PowerPoint presentation that explained the data analysis life cycle and presented my findings.

  • The presentation also explored the impact of holidays and weather on energy demand.

Business Development Opportunity:

By leveraging my experience as a Sales Manager, I approached this project from a dual perspective: data analyst and business development manager. This allowed me to not only deliver valuable insights but also identify potential solutions that could benefit AusEnergy as a long-term client.
