Why This Matters

What It Is

Statistical modeling of marketing effectiveness including non-digital channels delivering holistic view of all marketing drivers and 30-50% optimization opportunity.

Current State

(Traditional)

1. Marketing team engages consulting firm to build marketing mix model annually. 2. Consultant collects 2-3 years of historical data on spend and sales. 3. Manual regression modeling done in spreadsheets over 2-3 months. 4. Static report delivered showing historical channel contribution and ROI. 5. Insights already outdated by delivery and not actionable for in-flight optimization.

Characteristics

• Enterprise Data Warehouses
• Statistical Software (e.g., R, Python, SAS)
• Data Visualization Tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI)
• Machine Learning Platforms (e.g., TensorFlow, Scikit-learn)

Pain Points

⚠ Lengthy data preparation and model training processes (1-2 months each).
⚠ High costs associated with implementation through legacy providers or in-house builds.
⚠ Complexity in ensuring data consistency across multiple sources.
⚠ Manual processes that require extensive intervention and long setup times.

Future State

(Agentic)

Data Integration Agent continuously ingests marketing spend, sales, and external factors (seasonality, macroeconomic, competitive).
MMM Agent builds and updates statistical models: channel contribution and ROI, saturation curves (diminishing returns), carryover effects (lagged impact), synergies between channels.
Scenario Planning Agent forecasts impact of budget allocation changes.
Optimization Engine recommends optimal marketing mix for maximum efficiency.
Models auto-refresh monthly with latest data for current insights.

Characteristics

• Marketing spend by channel (digital and offline)
• Sales and revenue data (online and offline)
• External factors (seasonality, weather, economic indicators)
• Competitive spend and share of voice data
• Media mix variables (reach, frequency, GRPs)
• Product launches and promotional calendar

Benefits

✓ 30-50% optimization opportunity identified through holistic channel analysis
✓ Monthly model updates vs annual (12x faster insights)
✓ Includes non-digital channels (TV, radio, print, OOH) often 40-60% of budget
✓ Scenario planning enables 'what-if' budget allocation testing
✓ Automated modeling reduces cost 80-90% vs consulting engagements
✓ Actionable recommendations integrate with media buying decisions
