Real-time marketing simulation,optimization and reporting for Marketing Mix Modeling, Multi-Touch Attribution and In-Market Testing
Activate is a Software as a Service based solution that works in conjunction with a Marketing Mix Modeling, Multi Touch Attribution or In-Market Testing Engagement.
How Activate Differs from other Marketing Analytics Solutions
Until recently, the future of Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) was still one of the largest marketing measurement challenges in the industry. Data challenges, failure of adoption, change management & activation, privacy regulations, website cookies, and other challenges have made success elusive. Outside of a few exceptions, MTA as a measurement tool has not met brands’ business needs.
Our Activate software leverages a sophisticated analytic framework within a set of easy-to-use web-based tools, addressing the traditional challenges that can act as barriers to success. For the first time, a marketing mix modeling and MTA analytics platform captures a holistic range of omni-channel business drivers, including: traditional marketing, digital and social media, operation, external factors and long-term impacts.
The result? Accurate results and validated sales predictions that can generate measurable, incremental sales and profits.
