Google’s Meridian: Open-source Marketing Mix Model now available to all

Google has officially launched Meridian, its open-source Marketing Mix Model (MMM), making it widely available to marketers worldwide.

Previously under limited access, Meridian is now open to all businesses looking to enhance their marketing measurement and optimize budget allocation with a modern, data-driven approach.

In a statement, Google said traditional MMMs often struggle to keep pace with today’s fast-changing consumer behaviors and complex marketing landscapes. Google’s Meridian tackles this challenge by offering a highly flexible and customizable framework that allows businesses to fine-tune their models based on unique data sources and marketing channels, it said.

By making the tool open-source, Google encourages collaboration within the marketing community. Marketers and data scientists can refine the model, contribute improvements, and share best practices, ensuring it remains at the cutting edge of marketing measurement.
