Media Mix Optimizer is an in-depth & intelligent analytics solution to plan and optimize your marketing spends or investments. It is built around a Marketing Mix Modeling core that estimates marginal contributions of marketing events to sales across multiple channels and geographies.
The mathematical market model factors in competitor activities. This allows managers to hypothesize alternate competitive “what-if” scenarios and optimize marketing budgets. Media Mix Optimizer gives you a consolidated view of how all your media vehicles are performing with the ability to forecast and continually optimize media mix to deliver peak return on media investments.
Media Mix Model Core: Marketing Mix Model captures the individual effect of multiple marketing events (including competitive activities) operating simultaneously in the market. At the heart of it is an empirical Bayesian model that helps estimate brand or market specific effects across numerous trade channels, geographies and brands. The Bayesian model represents a “learning mechanism” that estimates category and market level deviations from a global estimate.
Simulator: The tool supports managerial decision making by allowing managers to build market scenarios and test alternate marketing plans. A scenario is a marketer’s best estimate of what each brand is likely to invest on each activity – advertising, consumer promotions, trade promotions, distribution, price and others. The mathematical model estimates the resultant sales for each brand (in each market). The manager uses these simulations to determine how investments are to be distributed across brands and markets to optimize marketing budget. The diagnostic capabilities are estimated by Incremental Volume Contribution, Effectiveness & ROI.
Reporter: Once an optimized marketing plan has been developed, the manager implements the planned activity. The tool tracks the impact of these investments in the market by measuring sales volumes, target as planned, planned vs. actual spends, competitor spends, brand equity measures, links between customer metrics and marketing investments. Managers can generate a variety of reports from market research surveys and operational data sources which can be standardized to formats specified by the user. Activity Reports detail the marketing activities and marketing investments undertaken. Brand Health Reports specify the performance of the brand on a number of brand health parameters.
