Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) is a data-driven, statistical analysis that quantifies marketing activities’ incremental sales impact and ROI. It is an established measurement solution for holistic, cross-channel sales measurement. In addition to historical insights on which marketing activities drove sales, advertisers leverage MMM to run forward-looking simulations/optimizations to help determine optimal budget allocation across marketing channels as well as future strategies.For marketers, measuring the real impact of a campaign isn't just about knowing if something worked; it's about quantifying precisely how much it worked and why to power even better performance over time. Traditional methods like randomized control trials (RCTs) or traditional matched market studies often face limitations: they’re expensive, difficult to scale, and sometimes impractical due to how much data is required to get a good signal.
In addition to traditional providers, an emerging class of modern MMMs are commercial solutions that streamline MMM (thus lowering cost and increasing frequency of delivery) through custom-built models or scalable software. Additionally, Meta Robyn and Google Lightweight MMM are open-source solutions some advertisers and agencies are using as the foundation for bringing their MMM practices in-house.
