<p>Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) has become an essential tool for media agencies seeking to measure the effectiveness of their marketing activities. Google recently introduced <a data-mce-href="https://developers.google.com/meridian" href="https://developers.google.com/meridian" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Google Meridian</strong></a>, an open-source package designed to enhance marketing measurement and media effectiveness analysis. This package builds upon <a data-mce-href="https://github.com/google/lightweight_mmm" href="https://github.com/google/lightweight_mmm" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Google Lightweight MMM</strong></a>, an earlier open-source solution, adding improvements and capabilities that make it more robust for today’s marketers.</p><p>While Google Meridian is a promising tool for MMM, it presents significant challenges for smaller media agencies, particularly those without dedicated analytics teams. This article explores these challenges and highlights a more accessible alternative for smaller agencies looking to leverage MMM.</p><h2>Challenges for Smaller Media Agencies</h2><h3>1. The Technical Barrier: Python Dependency</h3><p>Google Meridian is built on Python, a programming language widely used in data science and analytics. While Python is powerful, it requires a certain level of technical proficiency to operate effectively. Users need to understand coding, data processing, and statistical modeling to run the MMM functions within Google Meridian.</p><p>For large enterprise agency networks like WPP, Interpublic, Omnicom, and Publicis, this is not a major issue, as they have dedicated analytics teams with strong technical expertise. However, smaller media agencies often lack these resources, making it difficult for them to leverage Google Meridian effectively.</p><h3>2. Open-Source Accessibility vs. Usability<br></h3><p>At present, there are three notable open-source MMM solutions available, including Google Meridian. These open-source tools have lowered the barrier for technical users to implement MMM for media measurement. However, for non-technical marketers, the learning curve remains steep.</p><p>Smaller agencies may understand the value of MMM but often find these tools too complex to implement. The DIY nature of open-source MMM packages means that users need to set up environments, write code, preprocess data, and interpret outputs—all tasks that require specialized knowledge.</p><h3>3. The Lack of Affordable, Easy-to-Use MMM Solutions</h3><p>Smaller media agencies recognize the importance of data-driven decision-making and want to incorporate MMM into their media measurement strategy. However, the available MMM solutions in the market are either too expensive (enterprise-grade software) or too complex (open-source packages requiring technical skills).</p><p>Without the right tools, many agencies are forced to rely on basic reporting, last-click attribution models, or gut-feeling decisions, which do not provide the comprehensive media effectiveness analysis that MMM can offer.</p><h2>A Better MMM Solution for Smaller Media Agencies</h2><p>At <a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/" href="https://morethandata.biz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>More Than Data</strong></a>, we believe that every agency—regardless of size—should have access to advanced marketing measurement tools. That’s why we have developed an MMM software <a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" target="_blank"><strong>Minute MMM</strong></a> that is:</p><p>✅ <strong>Free-of-Charge</strong> – No high licensing fees or hidden costs.</p><p>✅ <strong>DIY-Enabled</strong> – Marketers can set up and run their own MMM models without a data science background.</p><p>✅ <strong>Customizable </strong>– Agencies can tailor the model to their specific media mix and business needs.</p><p>✅ <strong>Easy-to-Use</strong> – No programming knowledge required; a user-friendly interface simplifies the process.</p><p>✅ <strong>Quick-to-Get-Results</strong> – Generate actionable insights quickly, without delays.</p><h2>Join Us in Making MMM Accessible to All</h2><p>If you are a small or mid-sized media agency struggling to adopt MMM due to technical or cost barriers, we invite you to try our solution. Marketing measurement should not be reserved for enterprise agencies alone. With our software, you can finally access the power of MMM—without the need for a data science team or expensive tools.</p><p>👉&nbsp;<a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/" href="https://morethandata.biz/" target="_blank"><strong>Sign up</strong></a> today and take control of your media measurement with an easy, affordable, and effective MMM solution.</p>

Unlocking the Power of Business Intelligence Tools for SME

<p>Let’s face it: most people prefer to read about soaring victories, groundbreaking innovations, or miraculous turnarounds—the kind of feel-good stories that restore faith in the human spirit. This, unfortunately, is not one of those stories. This is the tale of an unsuccessful pitch we made to a client using the famous open-source marketing mix modeling (MMM) package, <a data-mce-href="https://facebookexperimental.github.io/Robyn/" href="https://facebookexperimental.github.io/Robyn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Meta Robyn</strong></a> (a.k.a., Facebook Robyn). But don’t despair! We promise it’s at least mildly entertaining and, spoiler alert, it has a happy ending (kind of). Think of it as a comedy of errors—with actionable takeaways.</p><h3>The Setting: Meta Robyn and the Small Media Agency</h3><p>We decided to use <a data-mce-href="https://facebookexperimental.github.io/Robyn/" href="https://facebookexperimental.github.io/Robyn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Meta Robyn</strong></a> in our pitch for a simple reason: it’s famous and free. Like a startup borrowing a Tesla for a meeting to seem more impressive, we thought leveraging Meta Robyn’s reputation would help us secure the trust of a small media agency with just 20 employees. The agency had no internal analytics team, no coders, and no capacity to sense-check the outputs of a complex open-source tool. But hey, the middle person who introduced us to the agency was a trusted bridge between us and the client’s CEO, so what could possibly go wrong?</p><p>A lot, apparently.</p><h3>The Pitch: A Comedy of Errors</h3><p>We prepared a pitch deck that emphasized the value of marketing measurement and minimized the technical jargon. The middle person, with whom we’d built years of trust, gave it a thumbs-up before the big meeting. Armed with confidence, we headed into the pitch meeting ready to impress. The first half went splendidly. The agency’s CEO nodded, asked insightful questions, and seemed intrigued.</p><p>Then came the live demo of <a data-mce-href="https://facebookexperimental.github.io/Robyn/" href="https://facebookexperimental.github.io/Robyn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Meta Robyn</strong></a>.</p><p>Here’s where things took a turn for the… awkward:</p><h3>"We don’t have analytics professionals. What do we do with this?"&nbsp;</h3><p>The agency’s CEO seemed to visibly recoil when we opened Meta Robyn’s script. It might as well have been hieroglyphics to them. Without an analytics expert on their team, they felt lost and intimidated.</p><h3>"This is taking forever…"&nbsp;</h3><p>To demonstrate Meta Robyn’s capabilities, we ran a sample model. Unfortunately, Meta Robyn building models with evolutionary computing takes time. Our underpowered laptop chugged along like it was running on hopes and prayers, and the client’s patience dwindled. We tried to fill the silence with small talk, but it was clear—they were bored.</p><h3>"We believe TV and OOH drive most of our sales. Can we test that?"&nbsp;</h3><p>The agency had strong assumptions about which media channels drove their KPI (sales). They wanted to test these theories. Unfortunately, Meta Robyn didn’t support customizable testing of media assumptions. Strike three.</p><h3>"DIY or outsource? Neither works for us."&nbsp;</h3><p>When we proposed becoming their analytics partner to handle the modeling on their behalf, they balked at the cost. On the flip side, they didn’t want to outsource everything—they wanted a tool they could use themselves. Meta Robyn’s complexity made this DIY dream impossible.</p><h3>The result?&nbsp;</h3><p>An increasingly skeptical CEO, a restless room, and a polite yet unmistakable decline of our proposal. We left the meeting empty-handed, questioning both our choice of tool and our approach.</p><h3>The Lessons: What We Learned</h3><p>Failure isn’t fun, but it’s instructive. Here’s what we learned from our Meta Robyn misadventure:</p><ul><li><strong>Complexity kills confidence</strong>. Small agencies without analytics professionals are intimidated by complex tools. A solution needs to be simple, user-friendly, and accessible to non-technical users.<br></li><li><strong>DIY flexibility matters</strong>. Agencies want the ability to customize and test their own assumptions—like determining the impact of specific media channels on KPIs. Meta Robyn’s rigidity made this impossible.<br></li><li><strong>Speed is key</strong>. Long run times, especially in live demos, are a major buzzkill. No one wants to sit through a lengthy process when they expect quick results.<br></li><li><strong>Budget constraints are real</strong>. Many smaller agencies can’t afford to outsource analytics, yet they need solutions that fit within their limited budgets.</li></ul><h3>The Comeback: Introducing Minute MMM<br></h3><p>Every failure carries a seed of opportunity. We realized there was a gap in the market for a marketing mix modeling tool designed specifically for small agencies—one that’s easy to use, fast, flexible, and free. So, we went back to the drawing board and created <a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" target="_blank"><strong>Minute MMM</strong></a>.</p><p><a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" target="_blank"><strong>Minute MMM</strong></a> is our answer to all the challenges we faced during that ill-fated pitch. Here’s what makes it different:</p><ul><li><strong>No coding required</strong>. Even non-technical users can build models with ease.<br></li><li><strong>DIY-friendly</strong>. Agencies can test and customize their own assumptions, empowering them to take control of their marketing decisions.<br></li><li><strong>Lightning-fast results</strong>. Models are built and results are delivered in under 10 minutes (check out <a data-mce-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYSZicCZL8I" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYSZicCZL8I" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>this thrilling (or not) video on YouTube</strong></a>—it has no subtitles, no narration, just <a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" target="_blank"><strong>Minute MMM</strong></a> running with a timer to track the runtime).<br></li><li><strong>Affordable for SMEs</strong>. In fact, we made <a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" href="https://morethandata.biz/minute-mmm" target="_blank"><strong>Minute MMM</strong></a> completely free for small media agencies.</li></ul><h3>A Final Word</h3><p>Our failed Meta Robyn pitch taught us a valuable lesson: great tools aren’t enough if they don’t meet the needs of the user. By putting ourselves in our clients’ shoes, we were able to create something we’re truly proud of. Today, <a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/" href="https://morethandata.biz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>More Than Data</strong></a> is helping small media agencies achieve big things—no coding skills, long wait times, or massive budgets required.</p><p>So, to all the small media agencies out there: if you’ve been looking for a marketing mix modeling tool that actually works for you, give <a data-mce-href="https://morethandata.biz/" href="https://morethandata.biz/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>More Than Data</strong></a> a try.

Unlocking the Power of Data Analysis Services in Australia for Business Growth

<p>In recent years, media agencies have faced mounting pressure to retain clients in an increasingly complex and competitive landscape. Several factors contribute to this growing challenge, from industry changes and economic downturns to evolving client demands and operational inefficiencies. Let’s explore the key reasons why media agencies are struggling to keep their clients and examine how these challenges can be addressed.</p><h3>Industry Changes and Economic Recession</h3><p>The media and marketing industry is undergoing significant transformation, driven by rapid technological advancements and changing consumer behaviors. At the same time, economic recessions have created a ripple effect, directly impacting client budgets and priorities. When budgets shrink, marketing spend is often the first to be cut, leaving media agencies to grapple with reduced revenue streams. Clients that once invested heavily in media campaigns are now rethinking their strategies, often opting for in-house solutions or reallocating budgets to other priorities.</p><p>For agencies, the challenge is twofold: navigating a shifting industry landscape while demonstrating their value during economically uncertain times. Agencies must position themselves as indispensable partners, capable of delivering measurable results even with tighter budgets.</p><h3>Increased Competition and Client Acquisition Challenges</h3><p>Acquiring and retaining clients has become more competitive than ever. With new players entering the market and digital-first agencies offering niche services, traditional media agencies often struggle to differentiate themselves. Additionally, prospective clients are becoming more selective, seeking partners that can deliver not only creative solutions but also robust data-driven insights and measurable ROI.</p><p>This heightened competition means agencies must go beyond their traditional offerings. They need to develop unique value propositions, leverage innovative technologies, and focus on delivering exceptional client experiences to stand out in the crowded marketplace.</p><h3>Rising Operating Costs and Labor Expenses</h3><p>The cost of running a media agency is steadily increasing. From salaries for skilled professionals to investments in technology and tools, operating expenses have grown significantly. Additionally, the labor market for experienced media strategists, data analysts, and creative professionals is becoming more competitive, driving up wages.</p><p>As costs rise, many agencies face the challenge of balancing profitability with competitive pricing. Agencies must find ways to streamline operations, increase efficiency, and maximize the value delivered to clients without compromising on quality.</p><h3>The Need for Granular Attention to Campaigns</h3><p>Today’s clients demand a deeper level of attention to detail across all aspects of their campaigns. From audience targeting to media strategy and channel performance optimization, clients expect agencies to operate at a highly granular level. However, this level of focus is often difficult for agencies to achieve due to limited resources and competing priorities.</p><p>For instance, optimizing channel performance requires real-time data analysis, constant adjustments, and a deep understanding of audience behaviors. Without the right tools and expertise, agencies risk falling short of client expectations. To address this, agencies must invest in advanced analytics platforms and dedicate resources to continuously refine their strategies.</p><h3>Limited Use of Data, Automation, and Technology</h3><p>While data, automation, and technology have revolutionized many industries, media agencies often lag in adopting these innovations. Many agencies still rely on manual processes and outdated tools, limiting their ability to improve efficiency and productivity.</p><p>Automation can streamline repetitive tasks such as campaign reporting and performance tracking, freeing up time for strategists to focus on higher-value activities. Similarly, leveraging data-driven technologies such as Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) can provide actionable insights to optimize campaigns and demonstrate ROI. Agencies that fail to embrace these advancements risk losing their competitive edge.</p><h3>Lack of a Closed-Loop System for Campaign Optimization</h3><p>One of the most significant gaps in the operations of many media agencies is the absence of a closed-loop system for campaign optimization. Post-campaign reviews, extracting learnings from executed campaigns, and applying those insights to future campaigns are often overlooked or underutilized.</p><p>Without a structured approach to analyzing past performance, agencies miss out on opportunities to improve. A closed-loop system not only enhances the effectiveness of future campaigns but also builds client trust by demonstrating a commitment to continuous improvement.</p><h3>Lack of ROI Proof and Data-Driven Insights</h3><p>Perhaps the most critical challenge for media agencies is the inability to provide clear proof of ROI. Clients increasingly demand data-driven and evidence-backed insights to justify their marketing investments. When agencies fail to deliver this level of transparency, trust erodes, and clients begin to question the value of their partnership.</p><p>Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) offers a powerful solution to this challenge. By analyzing historical data across all marketing channels, MMM provides a comprehensive view of campaign performance. This statistical approach enables agencies to:</p><ul><li>Quantify the impact of each marketing channel on business outcomes.<br></li><li>Identify high-performing channels and optimize budget allocation accordingly.<br></li><li>Present data-backed recommendations that build client confidence.</li></ul><p>Agencies that adopt MMM can set themselves apart by demonstrating their ability to deliver measurable results. Beyond proving ROI, MMM equips agencies with actionable insights that clients can trust, ensuring long-term loyalty and satisfaction.</p><h3>Turning Challenges Into Opportunities</h3><p>While the challenges facing media agencies are significant, they also present opportunities for growth and innovation. By addressing these issues head-on, agencies can position themselves as indispensable partners in a rapidly evolving industry. Here are some steps agencies can take:</p><ul><li><strong>Invest in Advanced Tools</strong>: Adopting technologies like MMM, automation platforms, and data analytics tools can streamline operations and improve decision-making.<br></li><li><strong>Focus on Client Relationships</strong>: Providing exceptional service, clear communication, and measurable results strengthens client trust and loyalty.<br></li><li><strong>Prioritize Continuous Learning</strong>: Staying ahead of industry trends and adopting best practices ensures agencies remain competitive.<br></li><li><strong>Build a Closed-Loop System</strong>: Regularly reviewing campaign performance and applying learnings creates a cycle of continuous improvement.</li></ul><h3>The Future of Media Agencies<br></h3><p>Media agencies don’t have to continue losing clients. By embracing innovation, adopting data-driven strategies, and focusing on delivering measurable results, they can not only retain existing clients but also attract new ones. The key lies in understanding the evolving needs of clients and addressing them with agility, transparency, and a commitment to excellence.</p><p>In a data-driven world, the agencies that thrive will be those that prioritize ROI, leverage technology, and continuously adapt to changing market demands. Now is the time to act and transform these challenges into opportunities for growth and success.</p><h3>Ready to Transform Your Media Agency?
