Facebook and Marketing Mix Model

Facebook has been progressively working towards providing clear metrics to marketers on the performance of their ad campaigns. In a bid to take this task on the next stage, the company recently launched its marketing mix modeling portal. Through this portal, advertisers will be able to measure and compare the performance of their ad campaigns across mediums like TV, print, and digital platforms. By tracking the effectiveness of ad campaigns regarding money spent, impressions created, and returns gained, the portal also enables companies to understand areas that need better strategy building. Already more than 150 brands have benefited from Facebooks MMM Portal, by improving their sales and marketing strategies.

Facebook has collaborated with Neustar MarketShare, Analytic Partners, Nielsen, and Marketing Evolution to gain access to their marketing mix modeling portal.

Google – Mixing MMM with Attribution

Given the fact that its existing multi-touch attribution (MTA) does not capture the impact of advertisements at the micro-level, Google too has taken the plunge into the MMM partner program. Just like in the case of Facebook, Nielsen and Neustar MarketShare are the launch partners of Google as well. With the amount of investment in mobile and digital advertising growing at a fast pace, it has become critical for marketers to adopt models that can enable better optimization of the sales to spend across various platforms.
