Questions to ask
Meridian is built by Google and incorporates Google search data, so weigh how that sits with a need for neutrality from media owners
As a media agency, independence from media interests is worth examining
You depend on the agency to run it; the capability is not owned in-house, and Meridian needs roughly two years of data and is compute-intensive
Which one fits you
When Jellyfish is the better choice
You want an agency to run Meridian-based MMM for you, particularly if you are heavily invested in Google media and value that integration.
When MASS Analytics fits better
You want measurement neutral from media interests, owned and explainable, not dependent on an agency or a model built by a media owner, with a structured path to running it in-house.
Looking for a Jellyfish alternative? MASS Analytics is worth evaluating when ownership, continuous measurement and a route to running MMM in-house matter to you. As pioneers of democratizing MMM with more than 12 years building actionable models, the platform is built to transfer capability to your team through the MMM Academy, not to keep you a permanent client.
