Most marketers understand the value of brand awareness, consideration, favorability and they track these metrics regularly. CFOs and other financial stakeholders are aware of them too, and many acknowledge they have a value to some people. But there's often one key piece missing: a shared, quantifiable understanding of how those brand health metrics impact revenue and sales.
Without that connection, brand data can remain informative, but not actionable from a financial perspective.
At Media Culture, we help businesses bridge this gap. By combining brand tracking with performance measurement models, we make it possible to translate brand metrics into financial terms so marketing and finance can move forward together with confidence.
It’s rarely a question of belief. Most organizations agree that a strong brand drives demand, but putting a dollar value on something like a five-point increase in brand awareness? That’s a challenge.
This is where data science comes in. Modern marketing measurement techniques, especially MMM, can quantify how brand health contributes to sales over time and getting there requires intention, preparation, and the right tools.
To unlock this level of insight, a few foundational elements need to be in place:

This requires clean, well-organized data that allows alignment of data across multiple sources. Establishing this data discipline upfront paves the way for actionable insights down the line.
Media Culture’s approach to Marketing Mix Modeling is designed specifically to answer questions like:
By layering advanced statistical techniques on top of consistent tracking and disciplined data management, we help our clients bring clarity to questions that once felt unanswerable.
