Study Notes
Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM)
- MMM connects marketing actions to commercial performance (revenue, quantity sold).
- Linear regression is the foundation of MMM, estimating coefficients (β).
- The constant term (β0) represents baseline demand when marketing tools are inactive, reflecting the brand's natural demand.
- Coefficient βk measures the impact of marketing lever k on demand.
- Media investments often undergo transformations, called adstocks, to consider campaign effects over periods, addressing real-world complexities such as lag effects and ad saturation.
- Sales volume for a period (Yt) is influenced by independent factors (Xt) like advertising, promotions, and distribution.
- Transformation applied to TV advertising expenses indicates its effect on sales volume.
Unobserved Components Models (UCM)
- UCMs decompose time series data, attributing sales evolution to seasonality, economic cycles, and underlying trends.
- The underlying trend reflects the natural demand evolution for brands and can act as a proxy for brand image.
- UCMs supplement traditional MMM by modeling the effects of leveraged benchmarks, without requiring new data.
- They allow businesses to adapt quickly and efficiently scale measurement systems while considering long-term impacts on budget allocation.
- Simple and cost-effective, UCMs facilitate rapid decision-making for media budget allocation.
- Limitations include variability in external validity; a multiple may not be universally applicable across all industries or brands.
- To enhance accuracy, organizations can estimate their multipliers through custom models tailored to their brand and industry.
