Revenue Growth Management in action

Interactive simulator tool improved marketing ROI by 15-25% and optimised media spend of $150 million

  • THE CHALLENGE

    The client was unable to evaluate the impact of marketing spend on sales and hence, wanted to conduct a holistic assessment of the impact of its marketing activities by understanding the direct and long-term impact (via brand equity) on sales.

  • OUR APPROACH

    The Smart Cube developed a multivariate linear regression model to measure the impact of marketing activities on key brand equity KPIs, and undertook factor and correlation analysis to develop a market mix model-based solution to arrive at the overall ROI from media levers. We developed an interactive simulator tool to enable planning of various ‘what-if’ scenarios around sales drivers and media, thereby predicting ROI.

  • VALUE DELIVERED

    We helped the client optimise $150 million media spend and gain additional ROI of 15–25% in marketing spend through spend reallocation of several categories such as snacks and beverages. In addition, the team helped the client gain an incremental 1% volume growth in the beverages category through reallocation of spend.

Assortment planning helped Fortune 500 firm improve customer reach by 10%

  • THE CHALLENGE

    The client wanted to streamline its assortment planning in EMEA (40+ countries) and derive sales benefits through optimal brand range prioritisation.

  • OUR APPROACH

    Our team created a scenario modelling tool combining internal data and consumer research for local commercial teams to plan for different assortments and their outcomes. We recommended strategic alignment of range for channels in 8 markets to derive sales benefits, as well as trade narratives for discussions with channel partners.

  • VALUE DELIVERED

    The primary and secondary range recommendations helped the client expect benefits of €50 million in 8 key markets, along with improving customer reach by 10% (on average) across these markets.

Order volumes forecasts and purchasing pattern modelling helped this flower and gift firm improve future planning

  • THE CHALLENGE

    UrbanStems was experiencing high demand peaks and volatile purchase patterns and wanted to ensure consistent delivery of its services and maintain customer satisfaction through sustainable demand forecasting.

  • OUR APPROACH

    Using our Revenue Growth Management solution, we undertook Purchase Pattern Analysis, and Demand Sensing and Management, which included custom-built algorithms to identify time-based purchase patterns and forecast overall demand. We projected numbers using time series models for the year ahead (with highest accuracy for the following three months).

  • VALUE DELIVERED

    UrbanStems has been able to leverage The Smart Cube’s order volumes forecasts and purchasing pattern model (comprising intelligence such as event-based orders and customer-level planning) for its in-house forecasting models, leading to greater levels of accuracy and improved forward planning.
