Driving marketing performance in financial services is subject to unique considerations. Diverse set of distribution channels, complex customer segments, a need to balance branding and promotion, and multiple outcome measures impacting customer value are factors to consider.
This document discusses how marketers have traditionally focused on short-term metrics like sales that favor tactics like digital advertising. While these tactics show high short-term ROI, they risk falling into an "instant ROI trap" by only targeting consumers interested in immediate purchases. This narrow focus fails to build brands for the long-term or attract new customers. The document argues marketers need advanced analytics to understand both short and long-term ROI in order to balance brand-building and promotional tactics across channels for sustainable growth. It concludes marketers using the most advanced measurement can optimize spending based on audience segments and media goals.

Message Mix Modeling - Leveraging Creative for Sales GrowthMasood Akhtar
The document discusses Message Mix Modelling, which is a reformulation and extension of traditional Media Mix Modelling. Message Mix Modelling focuses on measuring the sales uplift and ROI of different creative messages, rather than solely on media channels. It involves coding media activity into campaign and message type in order to evaluate the ROI of specific messages behind campaigns. This allows marketers to optimize media spend across channels, campaigns, and messages. Key benefits are quantifying the incremental sales impact of different messages to inform brand communications strategies and optimizing future investments by focusing on delivering the right message.
Learn How a New Kind of Marketing Mix Modeling is Better for Media PlanningThinkVine
This presentation discusses the use of agent-based modeling and its proven advantages to media planners, including the abilities to create effective media plans based on consumer differences, accurately attribute results to media tactics, quantify long-term effects, and forecast sales and ROI results.
Top 20 Reasons Why Agent-based Modeling is Disrupting Marketing MixThinkVine
Misallocated ad dollars may be costing brands more than 25 percent in lost sales. Based on an analysis of ThinkVine customers with average annual sales of more than $1 billion, we found that companies were spending too much or too little on specific media 85 percent of the time. By optimizing their marketing budgets, the companies added anywhere from 7 to 81 percent in additional revenue attributed to marketing activities – an average of 28 percent.
Don’t lose out on the additional sales your marketing could be driving. Brands have been relying too heavily on outdated, backward-looking marketing mix methods that leave money on the table.
Companies are now turning to agent-based modeling to make better strategic decisions that will deliver the results they need, and here is why.
This document discusses market mix models and some of the challenges involved in their use. It begins by explaining how marketers turned to more scientific approaches like market mix models to address demands for accountability and ROI assessment. However, several challenges were overlooked, including misunderstanding what models can and cannot do, data integration issues, and the limitations of only using observational data. The document then provides an overview of how market mix models work today and some of the technical issues that must be addressed, such as collinearity of factors, data quality problems, and endogeneity. It concludes by noting the need to accommodate different effects like carryover, diminishing returns, and cross-sectional differences across segments.
Marketing mix modeling provides a holistic view of how marketing activities impact business performance. While some see it as a "black box", it actually considers unique factors for each activity and assigns quantifiable measures. When done right, it can attribute sales to customer segments, inform new activities based on past data, and include complex digital channels like search. Critics argue it lacks real-time value or overvalues promotions, but quality models provide real-time insights and identify high-return promotional events without eroding long-term margins. Overall, marketing mix modeling is a valuable tool for optimizing marketing spend when properly customized to each business.

Modeling The Market Mix Modeling Problem (Media Mix Optimization)Amit Satsangi

(a) Linear Regression Analysis
(b) Log-linear Multiplicative Model
The Smart Cube | Marketing Mix Modeling: An Old Remedy for New IllsMelissa Luongo
The document summarizes marketing mix modeling (MMM) and its benefits. MMM uses statistical analysis to estimate how marketing activities like advertising, pricing, and promotions impact sales. It helps companies understand the relationship between marketing spend and profits. As global ad spending increases, MMM is important for ensuring marketing funds are spent efficiently. The document provides examples of companies using MMM and discusses how it can optimize allocation of marketing budgets.
Marketing Mix Models In a Changing EnvironmentAquent
Marketing Mix Models have been used successfully for years at consumer package goods (CPG) companies to increase their marketing effectiveness and efficiency. The four Ps (Product, Placement, Price, and Promotion) were as far as the models needed to go. Broad–based media was and is very expensive, which kept competition to a minimum. However, the marketing environment has changed in many ways and must be considered when looking to these models to improve marketing performance.
How Market Mix Modeling Can Impact Cross-Channel Budget and Business PlanningVivastream
The document discusses how market mix modeling was used to better understand the impact of cross-channel marketing activities for an insurance company. Specifically, it helped attribute previously unattributed sales to specific channels like direct response TV and quantify the "halo effect" of advertising. This improved the accuracy of metrics like cost per sale and allowed for optimized budget allocation across channels. The solution involved developing a market mix model that decomposed total sales based on contributions from different channels and external factors while also accounting for things like ad stock decay and cross-channel effects.
Disney: The Magic of Marketing Mix Analytics & OptimizationVivastream
The document summarizes a case study collaboration between Disney and SAS to develop a marketing ROI solution for a television network. Key aspects of the project included: collecting data from over 30 sources to measure marketing effectiveness; transforming and visualizing the data to identify errors and relationships; and developing measurement models to assess which shows, channels, and time periods yielded the best returns on marketing investment. The project timeline and data handoff process are also outlined.
Marketing ROI or Marketing Mix Model analyzes how marketing spending impacts sales and helps optimize spending. It provides brand maps that show how a brand is perceived compared to others. Price optimization is also important as price is a key factor in sales. Getting pricing right can increase brand growth. The company has offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Manchester, United Kingdom and helps companies understand their brand, optimize pricing and marketing spending.
Sales and Marketing Alignment Benchmarking ReportDemand Metric
How influential is sales and marketing alignment on achieving revenue goals? A Demand Metric Benchmark Study concluded that sales and marketing alignment is more than just “happy talk”; it has a real effect on revenue performance.
In June 2013, Demand Metric conducted a benchmarking study to assess the influences on sales and marketing alignment and how in turn in impacts revenue performance. Key findings from this study include:
• Not an “all or nothing” proposition: complete alignment of sales and marketing goals is related to the highest revenue achievement, but even partial alignment is far superior to none.
• Rose-colored glasses: Presidents, CEOs or owners of their firms are more likely to perceive strong or complete sales and marketing alignment than their sales and marketing teams.
• Two is better than one: Organizational structure is related to achievement. Separate sales and marketing teams outperform organizations where sales and marketing operate as a single, combined team.
• The one with the best tools wins: Mature implementations of sales and marketing systems, such as marketing automation or CRM, are having a significant impact on revenue achievement.
• Integration = Revenue: The highest level of revenue achievement coincides with the highest level of integration effectiveness between sales and marketing systems.
• Diminishing returns: once qualified leads account for 10% of total leads generated, revenue achievement remains flat even as the percentage of qualified leads increases.

Research Methodology
The Demand Metric 2013 Sales & Marketing Alignment Survey was administered online over a period of June 24th through June 30th, 2013. During that time, over 600 responses were collected, 550 of which were complete.
All members of the Demand Metric community received email invitations to participate in the survey, and participation was encouraged through a random draw incentive for an iPad Mini.
While respondent email addresses were collected in order to facilitate the prize drawing, no identifying information was retained or considered in the analysis of the survey data.
Following collection of the survey data, Demand Metric used IBM SPSS statistics software to analyze the results and draw statistically significant conclusions.
Market mix modelling is used to estimate the effectiveness of media investments on sales. A statistical model is estimated using historical sales data and explanatory variables like marketing activities, price, seasonality, and other macro factors. The simplest model is linear regression. The output is then used to analyze media effectiveness and return on investment. The case study involved structuring regional sales and marketing data, exploring relationships between variables, fitting mixed models to account for regional differences, and finding seasonality had the highest contribution to sales followed by online and radio marketing.

The document discusses measuring the effectiveness of marketing activities and establishing accountability.

ROI - Taking Measure of Your Marketing EffortsSpryIdeas
It’s the question that strikes fear into the heart of the most seasoned marketing manager: “What was the return on investment (ROI) for this program (e.g., email blast, trade show, social media campaign, etc.)? It’s a legitimate question because company executives and the people to whom they answer are naturally concerned with the “bottom line” and want to make sure that marketing expenditures are netting results. However, it can also be a challenging and complicated query. Determining the exact contribution any given marketing program has on revenue growth or profits is akin to defining happiness—it depends on to whom you are talking and what their priorities are!

Portfolio Optimization Under UncertaintyAdam Butler
This document summarizes a guest lecture on portfolio optimization under uncertainty. The lecture discusses that risk is the probability of not achieving financial objectives. It is explained that investing should minimize this risk. Different portfolio optimization techniques are explored, including equal weighting, naive risk parity, robust risk parity, and mean-variance optimization using different return estimates. Dynamic parameter estimates based on historical volatility and covariance are used to re-optimize portfolios periodically. The results show that thoughtful optimization can materially reduce the probability of not achieving financial objectives compared to traditional static portfolios.

This document provides an overview of establishing objectives and budgeting for promotional programs. It discusses determining marketing and communication objectives, with communication objectives focusing on tasks like awareness, comprehension, and conviction. Budgeting approaches include top-down methods where amounts are set by executives and bottom-up methods where objectives guide budget needs. Objectives should be specific, measurable, time-bound, and track audience responses. Budgets may be set as a percentage of sales, to match competitors, or based on return on investment models.
This document summarizes the key findings of Alterian's 2009 annual survey of over 1,000 marketers, agencies, and systems integrators. The survey found that marketers are shifting marketing budgets from traditional direct marketing to digital and social channels, with 40% anticipating over a 20% shift. However, many marketers are not prepared to leverage new techniques, with 42% not integrating web analytics into customer databases and 40% of marketing staff lacking necessary skills. A growing need for customer engagement is driving demand for new service providers to help marketers better coordinate resources and channels. While interest in social media is high, with 66% planning investments, many may not see full benefits without also investing in social media monitoring tools.

Improving ROI with Marketing Optimization via SASFlutterbyBarb
This document summarizes a presentation about using marketing optimization to improve return on investment. It discusses how increasing marketing efficiency, better targeting customers, and higher campaign volumes are no longer sufficient to maximize ROI. Optimization uses mathematical modeling to determine the best combination of marketing decisions, objectives, and constraints to achieve the optimal outcome. An example shows how optimization can improve ROI by 4% over prioritizing customers or campaigns alone. The presentation argues that optimization should be applied across the entire marketing process for maximum benefit.

Do People Really Know Their Fertility Intentions? Correspondence between Sel...Xiao Xu
Fertility intention data from surveys often serve as a crucial component in modeling fertility behaviors. Yet, the persistent gap between stated intentions and actual fertility decisions, coupled with the prevalence of uncertain responses, has cast doubt on the overall utility of intentions and sparked controversies about their nature. In this study, we use survey data from a representative sample of Dutch women. With the help of open-ended questions (OEQs) on fertility and Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods, we are able to conduct an in-depth analysis of fertility narratives. Specifically, we annotate the (expert) perceived fertility intentions of respondents and compare them to their self-reported intentions from the survey. Through this analysis, we aim to reveal the disparities between self-reported intentions and the narratives. Furthermore, by applying neural topic modeling methods, we could uncover which topics and characteristics are more prevalent among respondents who exhibit a significant discrepancy between their stated intentions and their probable future behavior, as reflected in their narratives.

Difference in Differences - Does Strict Speed Limit Restrictions Reduce Road ...ThinkInnovation
Objective
To identify the impact of speed limit restrictions in different constituencies over the years with the help of DID technique to conclude whether having strict speed limit restrictions can help to reduce the increasing number of road accidents on weekends.
Context*
Generally, on weekends people tend to spend time with their family and friends and go for outings, parties, shopping, etc. which results in an increased number of vehicles and crowds on the roads.
Over the years a rapid increase in road casualties was observed on weekends by the Government.
In the year 2005, the Government wanted to identify the impact of road safety laws, especially the speed limit restrictions in different states with the help of government records for the past 10 years (1995-2004), the objective was to introduce/revive road safety laws accordingly for all the states to reduce the increasing number of road casualties on weekends
* The Speed limit restriction can be observed before 2000 year as well, but the strict speed limit restriction rule was implemented from 2000 year to understand the impact
Strategies

2. 2
Whilst the use of Marketing Analytics to support
Marketing Mix Investments is only around 19.8%
for all industries (Source CMOSurvey.ORG, 2015)
we know that amongst the main national retail
banks it is 100%.
Perhaps this isn’t so surprising. Given the level
of accountability demanded of banks following
at first Sarbanes-Oxley and more recently Dodd
Frank for accountancy standards and capital
allocation support, looking to analytics to justify
investments is a natural. And in any case, surely
the ROI argument could not find a better vertical to
resonate in; not only is it the language of finance,
it is also the lifeblood for risk scoring and credit
appraisal.
So with many banks (and insurance, brokerage
and tax preparation firms) leveraging marketing
mix the more interesting question is not the degree
of penetration for Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM)
but rather what is it that distinguishes a finance
marketer in the what, how and why of its use.
Working this backwards we’ve seen the single
greatest force propelling all banks to use MMM
is a greater focus on managing customer value.
This in turn has led to linking marketing with the
drivers of customer value and that in turn has sped
greater centralization of the marketing function –
centralizing both geographically and across Lines
of Business (LOBs). With this impetus MMM has
been leveraged to enable a more effective center
by providing it both with the optics into the business
as well as some levers to pull in managing it.
So how can we understand the different levels of
progression across finance companies? Broadly
speaking we see a continuum of user-ship and
enablement levels:
• On the production side from a Do it For Me
to a Do it Yourself or fully outsourced, to fully
internalized,
• On the decision making side from a simple
annual channel budget with static Economic
Profit or Shareholder Value Added to a live
investment optimization across message and
channel to drive dynamic Economic Profit and
Shareholder Value Added.
Where any given client sits on these continuums
typically depends on the level of adoption and use
that has been established:
• Some may be using their analytics vendors to
do both relatively simple modeling as well as
very advanced, yet others have full internalized
both channel focused MMM and the advanced
modeling. Most typically of course there is a
balance, with the more basic work being done
internally with the analytics partner used for
scale and for advanced developments.
• More complex analytics is typically performed
where earlier “quick wins” have been
established and credited to the modeling.
Once finance departments look to the models
to manage brand and promotional investments
to drive greater Customer Lifetime value then
the marketing department is seen as a key
force in centralizing all banking activities
So what drives the level of adoption? In our opinion
there are two fundamental drivers:
• Aligning analysis with the actual decision
makers needs – build to fit.
• Deliver results with a narrative that is based on
the companies own style and language vs. the
analytics firms
In addition today another more passive but also
more fundamental force is playing into adoption
and that is the requirements emanating from
model governance and the compliance needs of
the Federal Reserve. This is the technical flipside
to the organizational appetite above. Both these
adoption drivers require a marketing analytics
function that can be both highly technical and
dexterous whilst also being highly tuned and
consultative in their approach.
MMM: POV Prepared by Ninah
3. 3
Once a virtuous adoption cycle is established
companies are then able to evolve the use of
marketing analytics and MMM to more advanced
use cases. More specifically in financial services
we’ve seen a wide range of applications unique to
the industry:
• Multiple Outcome measures: The value
equation in financial services tends to
be more complex with multiple business
outcome metrics impacting value and ROI
e.g. acquisition, usage, balances and churn.
This dynamic creates a more complex set
of dependent variables to fully understand
marketing ROI.
• Segmented consumer dynamics: Financial
services companies have information not
just on buying behavior but who is buying
and the tiers of products creating a need for
a segmented understanding of marketing
impact on business outcome across customer
segments and product tiers/types.
• Understanding customer value: Product value
used in marketing effectiveness evaluation
is dependent on customer behavior and
usage, therefore good customer lifetime
valuation models at product and/or customer
level e.g. Net Present Value SVA models are
key to marketing effectiveness in financial
services. Engagements will often include
some component of building, modifying or
deconstructing these models to understand
marketing ROI.
• Integrating and balancing direct and mass
marketing: Financial services marketers
rely on a complex interplay between direct
channels e.g. mail, email, search, social
and mass channels e.g. display, TV, print.
Understanding the contribution of all channels
and the interaction effects between channels,
particularly direct and mass channels is key in
financial services.
• Complex distribution environment: Financial
services are often distributed and serviced
through multiple outlets e.g. web and
branch with different marketing impact by
distribution channel, and regional differences
in distribution strength. This requires models to
be built at a geographically segmented level
across multiple channels.
• Balancing branding, acquisition and
deepening: Financial services marketers often
have to balance a complex set of messaging
objectives ranging from brand building to
deepening and acquisition. This creates
a more complex taxonomy for organizing
media and marketing data for marketing mix
modeling.
• Broader set of macro drivers: Financial services
and brokerage in particular is impacted by
a broader set of macro metrics that a typical
MMM model e.g. market index, Volatility Index
(VIX), yield curve, options expiration dates,
housing market, data release, fed actions,
unemployment etc. Controlling correctly
for these macro drivers is key to getting an
accurate marketing estimate.

Case Study: Building a Strong Case for “Brand Effects” in Insurance Advertising
Building a Strong Case for
“Brand Effects” in Insurance Advertising
Situation
The highly competitive U.S. auto insurance
marketplace poses a real challenge for marketers,
where the path to growth involves building and
maintaining brand equity, and demands for a more
efficient marketing spend than the competition.
With annual budgets for the top insurance firms
often exceeding $500MM, building the case for
marketing requires multi-year measurement and
understanding marketing’s role in building a brand.
Challenge
The client, a mid-size auto insurance firm, which
specializes in direct-to-consumer personal car
insurance, acknowledged that advertising does not
pay off in the short-term given the high acquisition
costsinadditiontocompetitivepricing.Theywanted
to measure the long-term effects of advertising on
brand equity and base sales that had been built
over time. The idea was to optimize their media mix,
and to ensure that any increased investment would
be directed towards the most efficient messaging.
It wasn’t enough to understand how each message
performed individually; instead it was necessary to
understand how they worked together in the short
and long-term to drive baseline quotes completed.
The client had a firm grasp of its short-term impact
of advertising on quotes completed, which was
measured by the marketing mix model developed
internally by their analytics team. However, they did
not have a clear understanding on how to quantify
the influence of brand equity and deduce the
long-term effect of advertising on baseline quotes
completed. Therefore, it was crucial that the results
provided insights on both the short and long-term,
as well as the overall impact on quotes completed
when both were taken into consideration.
Goal
The client looked to Ninah Consulting to help
optimize their media mix balancing short-term
sales with long-term brand equity. They set out to
understand how brand equity affected business
outcome, how the long-term effect of advertising
differs from the shorter term and what the optimal
allocation is across messages to maximize returns.
Essentially, they were building the business case
for continued investment behind their brand.
Working with client stakeholders, we identified the
following key business questions:
• Which brand equity metrics are the most
important to us?
• What is the relationship between brand equity
and baseline quotes completed?
• What is the long-term effect of advertising on
brand equity, which ultimately leads to baseline
quotes completed?
• What is the short and long-term combined
effect of advertising on quotes completed?
• What is the optimal message mix (Brand vs.
De-positioning vs. Savings)?
Solution
Ninah Consulting designed an analytics framework
to identify which of the 15 Brand Equity measures
had the strongest relationship with baseline
quotes. Once the right brand equity measure
was determined, an econometric model was
built to measure the impact of brand equity on
baseline quotes completed while controlling for
other baseline factors such as seasonality and
macroeconomic factors. A dynamic linear model
was also developed previously to compare
its “moving base” against the client provided
baseline, which was derived from their short-term
marketing mix model, to build confidence in using
their baseline as our target metric; the two were
very similar and highly correlated with one another.
Afterwards, another econometric model was built
to measure the long-term effect of advertising on
brand equity, accounting for any lagged effects,
6. 6
carry-over effects, and diminishing returns. Having
both models in place, the relationship between
advertising and baseline quotes completed by
way of brand equity could be quantified. As a
result, Ninah was able to optimize the message
mix to balance short term sales growth with long
term brand equity building.
Results
Ninah Consulting created a simulation tool based
on the marketing mix models. The tool enabled the
client to scenario plan different media allocations
by message type; adjusting for the differences in
response during the short and long-term, while
capturing the overall effect on quotes completed.
In addition, Ninah Consulting also provided a
number of valuable insights for the client:
• Unaided Consideration is the most important
brand equity metric that best captures changes
in baseline sales.
• Brand equity had a contribution of over 50% to
baseline quotes completed.
• Television & Video drove 70% of brand equity
in the long term, which translated to 37% of
baseline quotes completed and 19% of total
quotes completed.
• Advertising has a long half-life or carry-over
effect of 13 weeks and decays relatively slowly
against brand equity.
• There is more room to grow brand equity,
and in turn quotes completed, with Brand
messaging than De-positioning or Savings;
Brand messaging had a relatively linear
relationship in driving brand equity, whereas
De-positioning and Savings have moderate to
strong degrees of diminishing returns.

Case Study: Media Mix Optimization Delivers 17% Increase in ROI
for Insurance Provider
Media Mix Optimization Delivers 17% Increase in
ROI for Insurance Provider
Situation
The Irish insurance market is highly competitive,
battling increasing degrees of consumer switching.
Throughout the industry, media activity has risen
in recent years, with year-over-year double-
digit growth in advertising. That spend includes
traditional media, though insurance providers were
also directing more euros to digital.
Challenge
Facing increased pressure in a rapidly changing
media and consumer engagement landscape, the
client, insurance provider, wanted to ensure they
were effectively allocating their media budget.
They enlisted Ninah Consulting to help them
better understand the overall media influence on
customer acquisition and revenue.
Goal
The primary objective was to understand the true
contribution of media and the subsequent optimal
media mix to drive acquisition and revenue. To that
end, Ninah interviewed key stakeholders across
the client organization and identified the following
key questions:
• How does performance vary by media channel
– TV, online, radio etc.?
• What is the optimum level of TV weights
through the year?
• What is the effectiveness of different creative?
Campaigns?
• To what extent does competitor media activity
impact performance?
• What is the influence of other key factors such
as underlying seasonality and the economy?
Solution
Ninah established econometric models across key
channels (traditional and digital, including mobile
– we didn’t do mobile! There is no data on mobile
in Ireland, so this is not a claim we can make, I’m
afraid!) in order to understand key performance
drivers, the influence of each media channel, and
the cost efficiencies of each channel in driving
acquisition. Utilizing sales conversion rates allied
to revenues, Ninah was also able to derive ROI by
media channel, which was then used as a basis for
budget optimization.
Results
The models revealed that the digital channels
were the most efficient and increasingly important
for driving customer acquisition and revenue. TV
was still an important part of the mix, but other
traditional/offline channels proved least efficient.
As a result of the data and analysis provided by
Ninah, the client optimized TV seasonally and re-
allocated budget from less efficient offline channels
to more efficient online channels such as Search.
Ninah Consulting’s actionable results armed
the client with a more effective media strategy
with which to compete in the rapidly changing
customer engagement landscape and, notably, a
17% improvement in ROI.
