Why to do MMM?
yes to: statistics and data

MMM is the best way do give budget recommendation having many marketing channels, which are not connect. Because:
- no cookies data required
- do not require unique user data
- not based on declarative survey
- based on actual numbers and statistical models
Panel data give some insight but they do not cover all the media. It is possible that in our case panel cover all of our activities. Still it is a sample data. If your brand is small and there is not a lot of activities it may not be captured.
Declarative survey are a great tool for example to understand brand awareness. But they have issues. People usually don’t remember what and where they saw in terms of media and ads. Or they think that they remember.
It is difficult to attribute the effect of marketing activities from online ads, radio, press or on-site. Even within online space it is difficult to measure effectiveness e.g. of ads and influencer marketing. The most objective way to create statistical model aka MMM (Marketing Mix Model)
