Cambridge Analytica Ltd. (CA), previously known as SCL USA, was a British political consulting firm that came to prominence through the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data scandal.^[6] It was founded in 2013,^[7] as a subsidiary of the private intelligence company and self-described "global election management agency" SCL Group by long-time SCL executives Nigel Oakes, Alexander Nix and Alexander Oakes, with Nix as CEO.^[7] Cambridge Analytica was hired by a variety of political actors, including the Trinidadian government in 2010 and the 2016 presidential campaigns of Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.^[8] The firm maintained offices in London, New York City, and Washington, D.C.^[9] The company closed operations in 2018 due to backlash from the scandal, although firms related to both Cambridge Analytica^[10] and its parent firm SCL still exist.^[11]
