Common MMM Questions

How long does it take to see MMM results?

Initial insights in 4-6 weeks, full model deployment in 8-12 weeks. However, we provide actionable quick wins within the first 2 weeks based on preliminary analysis.

What if we don't have 2 years of data?

We can work with as little as 12 months of data by supplementing with AI predictions and external benchmarks. The model improves as more data accumulates.

How often is the model updated?

Unlike traditional quarterly MMM, Hendricks.AI updates models monthly with weekly prediction refreshes. Major recalibrations happen quarterly.

Can MMM work with our existing attribution?

Yes! MMM complements attribution by adding the incrementality layer. We integrate with your existing tools and provide unified dashboards.

What's the typical ROI from MMM?

B2B SaaS clients see 20-50% improvement in marketing efficiency, translating to 2-3X ROAS improvement and millions in pipeline growth.
