What is MMM?

Media Mix Modeling (MMM) is an agency-facing optimization tool designed to help media managers and analysts adjust media spend across different segments, geographical locations, and overall budgets. Built on the Google Meridian framework, MMM allows you to simulate the impact of these changes on key performance outcomes like conversions, sales, or leads.

Instead of relying solely on historical reporting, MMM acts as a forward-looking decision-support tool. It solves a core problem for media buyers: the inability to quickly simulate changes to media channel allocations or overall budgets and immediately understand the projected performance impact.

How can MMM be used?

MMM is built to equip our agencies with the ability to self-serve complex budget simulations. The platform runs on pre-generated outputs, meaning it calculates all plausible budget scenarios in advance to provide near-instant dashboard responsiveness.

Within the MMM, users can…

  • Use allocation sliders to reallocate media spend across digital channels and visualize the resulting performance.
  • Adjust the overall budget up or down (e.g., +10%, -20%) and see expected changes in KPIs.
  • Filter selections to slice results by Audience, Campaign, and Creative.
  • View predicted conversions, leads, or sales alongside projected annual comparisons.
  • View spend distribution versus outcome performance.
