Introduction

Accurately measuring marketing impact has always been challenging, as traditional attribution models often need to account for external factors. This has led to the rise of Market Mix Modelling (MMM), which offers a more comprehensive view of marketing performance. Businesses are increasingly adopting MMM for better insights, with Seeda's AI-powered MMM providing the opportunity to optimize marketing strategies, reduce costs, and experience immediate insights for maximum ROI.

Understanding Attribution and its Limitations

Attribution, the process of assigning credit to marketing channels, is a crucial aspect of evaluating marketing performance. Commonly used attribution models, such as last-click or first-click attribution, focus on specific touchpoints throughout the customer journey. However, these models have limitations that can significantly impact their effectiveness. Basically, if you start with incomplete data, you'll get and incomplete answer. 

One major limitation is the inability of attribution models to consider external factors, such as seasonality, economic trends, or competitor activities. These factors can significantly influence marketing performance, yet traditional attribution models often overlook them. Also, attribution models can rely too much on last-click attribution, which credits the final touchpoint before conversion. This can lead to an inaccurate representation of the true impact of various marketing channels, as it fails to account for the cumulative effect of all touchpoints.

Moreover, accurately measuring cross-channel impact poses a challenge for attribution models. With the increasing number of marketing channels and touchpoints, it has become more difficult to determine the precise contribution of each channel to the overall marketing success. This limitation highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to measuring marketing performance, such as Market Mix Modelling.

The Power of Market Mix Modelling (MMM)

Market Mix Modelling (MMM) is a statistical analysis approach to measure marketing impact, incorporating both online and offline marketing channels. This advanced method provides a more comprehensive view of marketing performance compared to traditional attribution models, offering several key advantages.

Firstly, MMM provides a holistic view of marketing performance by considering the entire marketing mix, including digital and traditional media. This allows marketers to see the bigger picture and make more informed decisions about their marketing strategies. Secondly, MMM has the ability to account for external factors, such as seasonality, economic trends, and competitor activities. This ensures a more accurate representation of marketing performance, as it factors in the broader market context.

Finally, MMM offers a more accurate measurement of cross-channel impact. By considering all marketing channels and touchpoints, MMM can better understand the synergies between channels and their individual contributions to overall success. This enables businesses to optimize their marketing mix and allocate resources more effectively, ultimately leading to improved marketing performance and ROI.
