1. The ability to stay current (45-90 days behind - depending on data availability). Looking at last years results when you are on a new campaign or spending in places you never have before is always only half the picture. 2. The ability to adjust the model structure as you learn more around variables that may impact. I can now add in eComm impact as I gain data in this area, etc. 3. Challenging the "norms" of the past. Media purchasing today is different than 2010 so why should the norms be the same.

Drawbacks:

1. Requires more "hands on" (versus throwing over the fence to throw back). This has the pros of more knowledge developed but the con on time. 2. ... Read more

1. Requires more "hands on" (versus throwing over the fence to throw back). This has the pros of more knowledge developed but the con on time. 2. Tool is new(er) and they are constantly updating and making easier to use. It is very functional today, and will likely even be easier by the time you read this, but there pains with this growth depending on how new you join. Pro of this is that you can help direct that growth.

We are moving spending based on new buying service, new copy campaigns, and current data in real time. We are utilizing in full co-operation with HAVAS (media buying) to maximize ROI when it is appropriate. We are having smart discussions around when ROI is not the first priority (competitive blocking, new item introduction, etc.). Overall, a much improved conversation versus our once a year conversation from traditional Marketing Mix.

Benefits:

Gives us a good sense of ROI and helps us make decisions on tactics for the future.

Drawbacks:

Not super user-friendly. Takes a bit of onboarding.

Summary:

Overall the working experience and relationship is good. Working through a data input restatement to ensure data accuracy.

What attracted us most to Keen was the cadence of reporting and granularity of the output. Waiting 6-12 months is often too long to action on the results and similarly, only having results at a broad channel level did not give us the level of detail needed to make optimizations. Keen has solved for both of those concerns.

Drawbacks:

The biggest challenge has been the way spend is amortized over the course of the campaign versus tied to the specific time period. This does not always align with the way we secure media.
