Selecting an MMM partner is about understanding what your business actually needs, what your data can support, and which option is most likely to work in practice.

I’m here to help you cut through a crowded MMM market, assess the real trade-offs, and chose the solution that best fits your current needs and will expand and adapt as your business grows.

What I often see

The same problems come up time and again when businesses start exploring MMM:

  • Have started vendor conversations but are unsure how to compare offers
  • Are already paying for a SaaS MMM platform that has not delivered
  • Do not know how their data and martech stack will support what’s possible
  • Want guidance, but don’t want to hand the whole process over to someone else

That is exactly where an independent view helps most, making the trade-offs clear before time and budget are locked in.

What I help with

I act as an independent technical and commercial guide, helping you define what “good” looks like based on your goals, setup, and appetite for change.

We clarify what you need from MMM at your growth stage, turn that into requirements, turn that into practical requirements, and test vendor claims on validation, usability, scalability, and fit.

Often this starts with a data & martech audit, an obligation-free review of your marketing and customer data assets to check readiness for advanced marketing analytics.

What you get

A straight recommendation on whether to build, buy, partner, or wait, plus a documented rationale that stands up to leadership review, reducing risk of later rework or replatforming.

You also get a vendor shortlist and a scorecard for evaluating them. This covers what data they really need, how they validate, how explainable the outputs are, how the workflow fits your planning cadence, and what ongoing effort is needed to keep it running.


FAQ

It is typically a good fit if you are evaluating your first MMM solution, trying to compare different vendor offerings, or reassessing a SaaS platform that is not delivering the value you expected.

It is also useful if you have internal momentum behind MMM but need an independent view before deciding whether to build in-house, go open-source, or work with a full-service provider.

MMM is usually too early when a business lacks sufficient data history, has low/inconsistent marketing spend, or requires daily/weekly tactical optimizations rather than long-term strategic planning.

As a rule of thumb, it becomes harder to justify when you do not yet have 12 to 24 months of reasonably consistent, clean, and granular data. In those cases, an obligation-free data & martech audit is often a better starting point.

Viable for teams with technical ownership and time to maintain the workflow. Less suited if you need a fully managed setup or fast internal adoption without engineering support.

Usually a few focused sessions over 1–3 weeks, depending on how many options you are reviewing and how clear the data picture is.

MMM does not rely on user-level tracking. However, you still need consistent spend and outcome data at the right granularity.

In practice, validation means checking whether the model is stable, whether it performs reasonably out of sample, and whether the results hold up against commercial reality rather than just statistical neatness.

Yes, as long as data readiness is broadly understood. The data & martech audit is useful when data readiness is unclear or disputed internally.
