Implementation time for steps 1 to 5 is on average 3 months

  • FMCG typically faster (1 to 2 months) due to more standardized data sources like retail panels
  • Complex industries with difficult data situation up to 6 months
  • In the case of multi-country and/or multi-category optimization, Analyx® typically starts from a pilot country or category to get organizational buy-in based on the pilot results before full roll-out.

Typical data requirements

General and industry-specific data

mainly provided by Analyx®

Economic indicators (e.g. consumer optimism, interest rates, stock indices etc.)

Weather (e.g. temperature and precipitation compared to long-term averages)

Brand KPIs (e.g. brand awareness, ad awareness, consideration, media buzz etc.)

Holiday & event calendar
(e.g. school holidays, major sports events)

Total category spendings on ATL media & split by brand 
(e.g. TV, Print, Outdoor etc.)

Company-specific data

provided by the client

Sales and market shares
(value and volume)

Detailed marketing plans (e.g. TV GRPs, Google adwords spendings, sponsoring activities etc.)

Promotional activities
(e.g. display, trade leaflets, price promos, couponing)

Product history
(e.g. timing of new features or product innovations)

Development of sales channels

(e.g. weighted distribution, sales commission changes etc.)

For best results, the company-specific data has:

Long data history
(ideally 3 to 5 years back)

 

Broad scope
(e.g. sales, pricing, campaign topics, features, promotional support etc.)

Many data points per year
(ideally weekly data)

 

Detailed splits
(e.g. by sub-products, sales
channels, topics etc.)

High consistency
(i.e. no changes of definitions)

 

Competitive coverage
(i.e. most of the data is also available for the relevant competitors)

.
But don’t worry, we can build very good models even if the data is not ideal!
