Outside of a select few industries and media and marketing specialists, the world of Econometrics is a mysterious one. Why, when and where are econometric techniques utilised? Where did they come from? What benefits do they bring to business?

Are Marketing Mixed Modelling and Market Mix Modelling the same thing? And, no matter what you call it, what is it useful for?  

Joy, Josh and Rob discuss:

  • What exactly econometrics is and how is it utilised in business
  • Some of the evolution that has occurred within the sector and why this has happened
  • What the future looks like for econometrics – including talent challenges
