Media Mix Model Framework

Mathematical foundations and formulas for media mix modeling in India

Core MMM Equation

Salest = Base_Salest + Σβi × Saturation(Adstock(Mediai,t)) + Σγj × Controlj,t + εt

Where:

  • Salest = Total sales at time t
  • Base_Salest = Organic sales without marketing
  • βi = Media channel coefficient
  • Saturation() = Diminishing returns function
  • Adstock() = Carryover effects function
  • Controlj,t = External factors (seasonality, pricing)

Adstock Transformation

Adstockt = Mediat + α × Adstockt-1
TV Decay Rate (α) 0.6
Digital Decay Rate (α) 0.3
TV Max Lag (L) 8 weeks
Digital Max Lag (L) 4 weeks

Saturation Curves

Saturated_Media = Median / (Kn + Median)
Hill Transformation Parameters:
Shape Parameter (n) 1.5-3.0
Half-saturation (K) 70-85% peak

India-Specific Parameters

Regional Factors

Hindi Viewership 55%
English Viewership 22%
Regional Languages 23%

Seasonal Multipliers

IPL Season +35-50%
Festival Season +20-40%
Monsoon Impact -15%

JioHotstar Optimization Formula
