  • Flaws in Measurement of Short and Long-Term marketing Effectiveness

    Marketscience recently announced the publication of a new paper, “Modeling short and long-term marketing effects in the consumer purchase journey” by P.M. Cain in the International Journal of Research in Marketing. The research identifies two key issues missed in today’s conventional marketing mix model approach: 1 – Proper representation of long-term brand building 2 – Proper control for selection bias of last touch marketing channels. In their latest blog, Marketscience summarise the ideas involved, as laid out in the IJRM paper and encapsulated in their MMM solution BaseDynamics. If these issues are not addressed, it will lead to significant mis-estimation of marketing response and therefore sub optimal recommendations.

  • The Guide to the TikTok Creator Economy

    TikTok has evolved from a viral phenomenon to a big business, for brands and creators alike. With the introduction of the TikTok Creator Marketplace, brands have a low-friction way to identify and partner with creators to activate sponsored content and marketing campaigns. As TikTok said at its recent TikTok World event, the creator marketplace makes it easier for brands to discover and activate creators. Considering Tiktok has said that creator-led videos can be twice as effective as standard ads, brands will only increasingly look to activate creators versus repurposing their own content from other channels. The most popular creators on the platform can make millions of dollars a year by producing sponsored videos. But what types of advertising will work on a platform that prioritizes creativity, authenticity, and spontaneity? How long should videos be? How overt should the product messaging or visibility be? And are the most popular TikTok users the best drivers of attention.

Decision influence modeling: Achieve reliable pharma & consumer health product forecasting

The decision-making process for healthcare treatments and OTC products is more complex than ever. The acceleration of digital healthcare has empowered patients with more tools to manage their own health. For pharmaceutical products, the traditional role of the physician has changed. Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) are no longer the only decision-makers for healthcare treatments. In some cases, HCP recommendations can be less effective due to patients challenging the treatment decision. Conversely, in the consumer health space, marketers are tackling the increasing influence HCPs are having on OTC purchases, from infant formula to vitamins. Register for this webinar to learn how and why forecasting research should go beyond one perspective, to incorporate the relevant mix of HCP and patient/consumer decision behavior.
