At Metric Centric, we specialize in providing reliable and affordable social intelligence services that support marketing and communications initiatives. Our team has worked with several universities, colleges and higher learning institutions to keep a finger on the pulse of how students, alumni, faculty and staff, external stakeholders and international audiences perceive their schools.
