Use Cases

Marketing Effectiveness

Understand what's driving growth, and invest accordingly.

Most marketing reports tell you what happened. We build Media Mix Modeling, Multi-Touch Attribution, and Campaign Intelligence systems that measure channel impact and optimize where the next budget goes.

Custom media mix modeling pipeline that measures every channel against revenue.

CHALLENGES

What we typically see

The complexity of modern media has outpaced spreadsheet attribution and dashboard metrics. The signal arrives too late, ignores offline spend, or doesn't hold up when leadership asks how it was calculated.

Attribution that misses the full picture

Click-based models overweight the final interaction and ignore offline channels, brand spend, and long-term effects.

Budget decisions made on incomplete data

Channels that drive real growth get underfunded while spend that looks good in a dashboard keeps getting renewed.

No confidence in the numbers

Marketing leadership can't defend budget allocation decisions because the measurement doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

Privacy erosion undermining measurement

User-level tracking is becoming harder to rely on at scale, making traditional attribution models less reliable over time.

Approach

How we work

We build marketing measurement and optimization systems, combining Bayesian Media Mix Modeling, Multi-Touch Attribution, and Campaign Intelligence to quantify the contribution of every channel to business outcomes.

  1. Data collection, preparation, and source system integration
  2. Model development, calibration, and validation against historical outcomes
  3. Budget allocation and scenario planning tools with calibrated uncertainty
  4. MLOps infrastructure that refreshes models as market conditions and media mix shift

The output is a system your team uses every budget cycle to test incrementality and optimize where the next dollar goes, along with the modeling and MLOps practices that make every subsequent refresh faster to ship.

Applications

Across industries and teams

Accelerator

Media Mix Modeling Accelerator

For organizations whose MMM needs outgrow off-the-shelf tools, we deploy the Media Mix Modeling Accelerator, a production-ready Bayesian MMM system built on numpyro and OneSix's in-house modeling framework.

What's included

Custom bayesian MMM framework

A numpyro-based framework that estimates channel effects, adstocking, saturation, and seasonality in a single Bayesian inference pass, with full posteriors on every parameter.

Hierarchical and multi-group modeling

Grouped effects across regions, stores, or business units, with non-marketing covariates modeled inside the inference. Handles uneven cadences without manual alignment.

Constrained budget optimization

Recommended budget reallocations subject to real-world constraints. ROI with uncertainty bands and current-vs-recommended comparisons built for marketing stakeholders.

Production pipeline + MTA add-on

A recurring pipeline connected to your data and BI layer, with periodic retraining. For journey-level measurement alongside the macro view, we deliver MTA as an explainability-based framework.

Process

How it works

  1. Assessment
    Data audit, channel inventory, and outcome definition
  2. Modeling
    Model specification, calibration, and Bayesian inference
  3. Validation
    Backtesting against historical outcomes and uncertainty calibration
  4. Deployment
    Production pipeline, BI integration, and recurring refresh cadence

FAQs

What's the difference between MMM, MTA, and Campaign Intelligence?

Each answers a different question. Media Mix Modeling quantifies the macro contribution of every channel, including offline and brand, to a business outcome and produces recommended budget allocations. Multi-Touch Attribution measures how channels interact along individual customer journeys and works best for digital, user-level data. Campaign Intelligence measures the performance of specific campaigns, creative, and audiences. Most engagements combine more than one.

How much data do we need?

It depends on the approach. MMM typically requires two to three years of weekly or daily spend and outcome data plus non-marketing covariates. MTA needs digital event-level data with enough volume to identify channel interactions. Campaign Intelligence works on campaign-level performance data, often available within months. We assess what you have during scoping and design the model around it.

How often do models get refreshed?

Most clients refresh monthly or quarterly as new spend and outcome data arrive. The pipeline is configured for periodic retraining as part of deployment, so refreshes happen on a schedule rather than requiring a custom rerun each time.

How accurate are these measurements?

Each approach reports uncertainty differently. Bayesian MMM produces posterior distributions on every parameter, so output is a range with calibrated uncertainty. MTA produces journey-level attributions with confidence based on data volume. Campaign Intelligence reports performance with statistical significance. Across all three, we benchmark against holdout windows, lift tests, and incrementality experiments where available, and report results in terms relevant to budget decisions.

How do the outputs reach the teams making decisions?

Outputs are integrated into your existing BI layer (Tableau, Power BI, Sigma, Looker) and operational systems (CRM, ad platforms, marketing automation), so budget recommendations, attribution scores, and campaign signals reach decision-makers at the moment they need them. Integration is engineered into the build from scoping forward.
