The Basics of Media Mix Modeling
MMM works by analyzing historical data to identify patterns and correlations between marketing activities and sales. Key concepts include adstocks, which account for the delayed impact of ads, and diminishing returns, which highlight the point where additional spend yields lower incremental sales. Building an MMM involves data collection, model design, calculation, and output analysis, typically taking 3-6 months. Explore the basics of MMM on Measured
