Our Philosophy

The client's journey begins with data.  Critical inputs include macroeconomy / marketplace, media & marketing data which we link to your sales and revenue.  These data elements are included in all our platform developments.

We model a holistic view of the customer experience and decision processes emulating movement of a prospect through the Consumer Decision Funnel from awareness to consideration to search on through choice / purchase, repurchase, and brand advocacy.


Our platforms support company portfolios / footprints, all 210 Nielsen DMAs, and an unlimited # of stores / locations, as well as Global Brands and an unlimited number of supporting countries around the globe.

We generate continuous marketing performance improvement through three phases or dimensions at the MACRO level (1. Omnichannel Attribution & Optimization) and at the MICRO level (2. Multimedia Attribution - MMA & 3. iCAT incrementality testing).


MACRO Omnichannel Attribution & Optimization models weekly spend and optimizes weekly budgets.  Budgets are rolled down to the campaign level where MICRO Multimedia Attribution optimizes daily tactic impressions to maximize daily sales rates.  Within tactics, iCAT's test creative and other elements to incrementally improve and stairstep in-tactic performance.


Our approach generates a fully integrated view and measurement system from the Footprint to the campaigns in a way that Marketing Mix (based on market functions) and Multi-trait Attribution (MTA, based on individual probability functions) could never achieve.  Individual probabilities do not aggregate neatly to market functions across times, space, and prospect segments.  Our fully-market-function approach resolves this mismatch & enables our clients to truly optimize all activity from the broadest strategy to the most specific impression.
