Despite great in-house analytics capabilities and the will to bring insight to marketing planning, channel optimisation and reporting, designer retail brand Michael Kors has struggled to get past outdated last-touch attribution modelling. Which is why VP of global analytics, Manuel Neto, was keen to be one of five brands trialling a platform combining market mix modelling (MMM) and multi-touch attribution (MTA). "It’s been one of the most transformational, reassuring journeys we have been on," per Neto, with teams now modelling a hundred scenarios in 20 minutes versus two in 40 hours, and better able to make seasonal product calls, faster. "For me, efficiency is money. If you’re able to act faster you’re able to get competitive advantage faster. As a consequence, KPIs will improve." He wants to make the trial permanent.
