Velir is a 201–500-person experience agency built around data and digital strategy, anchored by Brooklyn Data, its internal analytics studio. The tech stack—Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Databricks, Airflow—mirrors a modern data platform, but hiring velocity and project mix reveal the real story: Velir is scaling its data-services business through partner co-selling (Snowflake deals), workforce strategy initiatives, and internal culture fixes. Leadership gaps in data and sales roles suggest the agency is moving from service delivery toward solutions and retention.
Velir helps mid-market and enterprise clients design and execute data-driven digital experiences. The company operates two integrated units: Velir (design and strategy) and Brooklyn Data (analytics and insights), delivering services across web content management, personalization, marketing automation, and analytics. Founded in 2000 and based in Somerville, MA, Velir employs 201–500 people and generates revenue through client projects, partner integrations, and data-science engagements. Current pain points include employee retention, complex sales cycles, and technical debt—typical friction points as service agencies grow beyond project work into product-adjacent offerings.
Velir's data platform uses Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Databricks, Airflow, BigQuery, and Domo. Python and SQL power analytics; Power BI handles visualization. Rippling and Azure Data Factory round out the stack.
Brooklyn Data is Velir's dedicated data studio—an internal analytics unit that transforms data into actionable strategies. It operates as part of Velir's unified approach to digital experience and insights delivery.
