1. Products & Countries

You have a certain total budget that you can spend on sales and marketing activities. Your company expects you to maximize ROI.

Let’s assume you are responsible for 3 different countries (France, Germany and Italy)

with 3 product categories each (ice cream, pizza and cookies).

2. Marketing & Sales

Let’s further assume that you can use 8 different marketing channels (TV, print, direct marketing, Google, Facebook etc.) as well as 4 main sales activities (promotion, tapping into new distribution channels etc.)

3. Growth & Profitability

Each country and each product category shows different growth patterns and has different levels of profitability, influencing the optimum allocation of budget.

4. Monthly planning

Assuming your planning runs on a monthly level, then you need to optimize the distribution of your budget onto countries, product categories and activities for each single month, taking into account seasonality effects etc.

5. Thousands of decisions

This multiplies further if you need to plan different regions within each country, consider different sales channels etc. So there are literally thousands of decisions to take. No way to find the optimum manually or based on gut-feel like in the old days.

SpendWorx® now comes pre-loaded with relevant data!

Analyx® has entered into a range of partnerships with providers of the most critical data sources to power the models underlying SpendWorx®. Thus, the solution comes pre-loaded with those data and clients don’t have to worry about it.

Analyx® is proud to be one of the few Nielsen connected partners in Europe. In selected markets, this gives access to consistent POS tracking data for FMCG sectors without the need for additional TPAs.

SpendWorx® uses a direct API to YouGov‘s long-term brand indicators (brand awareness, ad awareness, consideration etc.) with weekly granularity for 1,000+ brands in 32 countries.

In collaboration with wetter.com – one of the most popular weather portals in Europe – we can tune our models to reflect weather impact on sales and marketing effectiveness – down to micro-regional levels.

AZ Direct is our preferred partner for multi-channel targeting of individual households. It also gives access to 100+ geo-indicators (e.g. socio-demographics & attitudes) for micro-regional mediamix optimization.
