Quick answer
NUUN Digital's Data & Analytics practice builds marketing analytics and attribution (including Marketing Mix Modeling and Multi-Touch Attribution), business intelligence dashboards, predictive analytics, and reporting infrastructure. Every model ships with its assumptions, validation results, and a review rhythm. Dashboards that answer the CFO — not dashboards that decorate the office TV.

How we work.

A six-step process from discovery to measured outcome.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Interviews, audits, and a written problem statement.

  2. 02

    Design

    Approach options with trade-offs and pricing.

  3. 03

    Plan

    Phase-by-phase plan with a single accountable owner.

  4. 04

    Build

    Execution in weekly sprints, stakeholder demos every 2 weeks.

  5. 05

    Measure

    Against the KPI we set in week one. No vanity metrics.

  6. 06

    Compound

    Quarterly review, roadmap refresh, next bet.

Measurement the CFO will defend

Most marketing dashboards look professional and say nothing. Ours start with the decision the executive needs to make — then reverse-engineer the model, the data, and the pipeline that justify it.

We publish the assumptions, the validation, and the known limits of every model. If the number isn't defensible, we don't ship it.

Comparison — MMM vs MTA vs hybrid

| You need to | Best approach | Data requirements | Typical timeline | Starting cost | |---|---|---|---|---| | Understand total-marketing ROI across paid + organic + offline | Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) | 2–3 yrs aggregated media + sales data | 10–14 weeks | $120k+ | | Optimize digital channel mix week-to-week | Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA) | User-level event data with identity resolution | 8–12 weeks | $90k+ | | Both — strategic + tactical decisions | Hybrid (MMM + MTA triangulation) | Both data stacks | 14–20 weeks | $180k+ | | Predict which customers will churn | Predictive churn model | Customer event + subscription data | 6–10 weeks | $60k+ | | See campaign performance daily | BI dashboards | Connected ad platforms + CRM | 4–8 weeks | $35k+ |

FAQ.

What's the difference between MMM and MTA?
MMM (Marketing Mix Modeling) uses aggregated, time-series data to measure the incremental contribution of every channel — including offline media — over months and years. MTA (Multi-Touch Attribution) uses user-level event data to assign credit to digital touchpoints over days and weeks. They answer different questions. Mature brands run both and triangulate.
Do we need a data warehouse before you can help?
Not necessarily. For MTA and most dashboarding work, we can start with connected platforms and a lightweight warehouse. For MMM and predictive modeling, a stable warehouse makes life easier but isn't strictly required — we've built models on flat-file exports when needed. We scope the foundation work honestly before the modeling work.
Which attribution tools or platforms do you use?
Model-agnostic. We build custom MMM in R and Python (Meridian, Robyn, bespoke Bayesian models), deploy MTA on platforms like Rockerbox, Northbeam, or custom stacks, and run BI on Looker, Power BI, or Tableau based on the client's existing investment. Tool choice is a consequence of the decision architecture, not the other way around.
How often should models be refreshed?
MMM — quarterly refresh, annual rebuild. MTA — weekly refresh, quarterly rebuild. Predictive models — weekly scoring, monthly validation, quarterly rebuild. Every model ships with an explicit refresh and retirement policy, documented in the method statement.
Can you work with our existing analytics team?
Yes. Most of our Data & Analytics engagements embed one or two NUUN analysts alongside the client's team. We transfer every model and dashboard at the end of the build — with documentation the internal team can maintain — unless the client wants us to continue operating them.
Do your predictive models ship with explainability?
Yes. Every client-deployed model includes feature-importance output (SHAP or equivalent), validation results, and a plain-English interpretation document. If a regulator, auditor, or executive asks "why did the model say that?", the answer is in the package.
What happens when the data is messy?
Data messiness is the starting condition, not an obstacle. Our Data Management practice partners on the clean-up — architecture, ETL/ELT, governance — and we scope it transparently up front rather than pretending the model can survive bad inputs.
