MMM (Marketing Mix Modeling)

Also known as: Marketing Mix Modeling, Media Mix Modeling, MMM, Marketing Econometrics

Statistical model quantifying the impact of each marketing channel on sales, enabling marketing budget optimization.

Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) is a statistical model that quantifies the contribution of each marketing mix factor—TV, digital, OOH, trade, price, distribution, seasonality, competition—to observed sales. It uses time series regression techniques with adstocks (carryover effects) to model the immediate and deferred impact of advertising.

With the disappearance of third-party cookies and privacy restrictions, MMM has resurged as an aggregate-level marketing attribution alternative that doesn't depend on personally identifiable data.

Main applications: budget optimization across channels, advertising ROI measurement, price elasticity analysis, and investment scenario simulation.

Atlantia includes MMM capabilities in its analytics platform to help brands optimize their marketing investment.
