Marketing Mix Modelling (econometrics) consultancy
What is Marketing Mix Modelling (MMM)?
Marketing mix modelling (also known as MMM or econometrics) is a set of statistical analysis techniques applied to marketing or sales data to estimate the impact of various marketing activities. It will often be used to optimise the advertising mix and promotional tactics to increase ROI or incremental revenue.
The benefits for your organisation should be weighed against the costs but the fact of the matter is that in our experience many brands are missing out on a significant opportunity to maximise their ROI and incremental turnover by not conducting MMM.
We will work with you directly or alongside your MMM supplier to ensure that you measure all media correctly to give you as clear a picture as possible of how to optimise your spend.
“But you can’t measure the ROI of digital via marketing mix modelling (econometrics)”
It’s faster.
It’s cheaper.
It’s designed specifically for digitally or digital commerce focussed brands.
It’s Dynamic MMM.
We’ve pioneered a new MMM methodology that we are rolling out to our clients. It is typically a quarter of the price of MMM you’ll find from other providers. We can also have your model up and running significantly quicker – in a few weeks rather than the several months that is standard with MMM .
Basically, if you have a digital focus to your business, this is a key part of the way to accelerate profitable growth. It’s new to the market so we aren’t covering it here in detail. However, watch above as DTC brand Percival menswear discuss their experience of using it with us, and get in touch if you want to find out more.

- Other non-controllable factors– competition, category trends, seasonality, holidays, weather, economy, national events and out of stocks.
Econometric model outputs provide clients with huge benefits including:
A detailed understanding of the key drivers of business performance to date and the relative contribution of each one.
- Sales uplifts and return on investment metrics for each individual marketing and sales investment lever.
- Price and promotional elasticities.
Quantification of the inter-dependencies between investment levers. For example, does TV advertising drive online search? - What is the optimal mix of media channels?
- Is there a synergistic effect when synchronising TV with in-store promotions?
