Iridio Expands Media Mix Modeling with Keen Decision Systems Partnership

Iridio has collaborated with Keen Decision Systems to strengthen its Media Mix Modeling (MMM) and Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) offering. The alliance enables brands to forecast marketing ROI with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) within a margin of error as low as 4%-well ahead of the industry standard of 5–15%-and directly connect media investment decisions to financial outcomes.

Media Mix Modeling is a privacy-first statistical approach that uses aggregated sales, media spend and external factors to measure each channel’s impact and optimize future media investment—without using personal data. Multi-Touch Attribution helps marketers understand which channels, messages and interactions actually influenced a customer’s decision, and how much each one contributed, so media budgets can be optimized for performance.

​​​H​​ow the Integration Works

​​​With this ​​alliance​​, ​​Iridio​ will integrate​ ​Keen’s proprietary database, Marketing Elasticity Engine, into its custom MMM and MTA programs. Backed by Iridio’s proprietary Consumer Graph℠ technology and cross-channel campaign measurement, this integration ensures that recommendations are strategically refined by Iridio’s media experts, providing marketers with a unified, high-speed solution to measure, plan and forecast media performance with a competitive edge.​ ​

“Marketers are challenged with accurately attributing ROI across multiple channels and balancing short-term performance with long-term growth,” said Kevin Bell, Vice President, Data and Analytics Strategy at Iridio. “By pairing MMM with attribution modeling and activating insights from our proprietary tools, we’re helping brands realize more value from their media dollars.”

Key Capabilities & Competitive Advantages

​​In addition to the MAPE accuracy, the integration offers Iridio clients a distinct competitive advantage:

• ​​Speed to insights:​ Clients receive model results and strategic plan recommendations with rapid turnaround times, enabling fluid, real-time decision-making rather than annual retrospective reviews.
• ​​Unified full-funnel view: ​The solution measures incremental channel effectiveness and ROI, while also unifying disconnected measurement approaches across the full funnel to align brand growth with sales impact. Channels covered include CTV, search, social, display, online video, print and more.
• ​​Privacy-first planning: ​Because the modeling relies on sales and spend data rather than tracking individual user behavior, it provides a robust alternative to cookie-based measurement in an age of heightened data privacy concerns.
• ​​Actionable intelligence: ​The system moves beyond reporting to provide a planning tool that shares optimized investment and flighting strategies for both short-term revenue and long-term brand growth.
• ​​Managed service with consistent refinement:​ The process creates a learning loop as actualized results are fed back into the engine to refine future predictions, continuously improving the model’s accuracy.

“​​As the marketing landscape faces increasing data privacy scrutiny and lack of third-party data, traditional measurement methods are becoming more difficult leaving marketers forced to rely on backward-looking reports that disconnect strategy from ​​execution​​​​,” added Jesse Math, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at Keen. “Our alliance with Iridio empowers brands to use advanced data science to ​understand what’s driving performance today and what fuels long-term growth to ​​make informed decisions ​through measurable data.”
