File 02 · Beyond the medium

Media Deep Dives

It's not enough to gauge the performance of a medium on brand outcomes you need the performance of each medium's ingredients. Marketing mix analytics measure the role each medium plays in generating sales, share or mind measures; media deep dives go further, examining every genre and channel within it.

  • TV — impact by channel, time slot, programme genre and copy
  • Digital — impact of each platform component in the mix
  • Print — impact by publication type, ad position and size
  • Radio — impact by time slot, programme and duration
  • Out of Home — impact by size and location

Based on

RainMan's advanced statistical proprietary techniques — helping marketers fine-tune media strategy and improve effectiveness manifold.

Mind Measure Planner

Establishes the relationship between advertising effort (GRPs/TVRs or digital spend) and Brand Equity, and identifies which mind measures most influence the business metric.

Brand Equity Models

For most brands, advertising is both a core lever and a major expenditure — so it matters that marketers can track how efficiently it drives consumer mind measures and final business outcomes. The Mind Measure Planner leverages continuous tracking and media data to quantify that relationship and give marketers a clear direction for strategy.

File 04 · Pricing

Price Sensitivity & Analysis

Pricing is the most critical lever for maximizing revenue — but consumer response varies by SKU, geography and seasonality. RainMan's approach estimates brand-level price elasticity and deep dives into individual SKUs, factoring in every marketing input.

  • Estimate business outcomes under different price scenarios
  • Build an optimal SKU mix from individual price sensitivities
  • Optimize pricing by SKU to maximize sales

Outcome

A right-sized pricing strategy for the future, SKU by SKU.

Why it matters

Successful promotions can be repeated annually — making them valuable brand assets over the medium to long term, not just tactical, one-time events.

Promotions Analytics

RainMan compares the effect of promotions of different design, scale and duration, after accounting for all other factors, by building comprehensive marketing mix models that estimate the impact of both marketing inputs (including promotions) and environmental factors.

File 06 · Privacy-safe measurement

Geo Lift Solution

As data-privacy regulation makes attribution modelling harder, randomized control tests — a concept borrowed from pharma — are becoming a strong alternative. An exposed group is served ads while a holdout group is not; the holdout provides the baseline against which the intervention's efficiency is measured.

RainMan deploys machine learning to implement Geo Lift solutions across regions or markets, measuring the effect of every contact point on incremental sales.

Origin

Adapted from pharmaceutical trial design into modern marketing science.
