# Cassandra

> Cassandra is a Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) and Incrementality platform for brands and marketing agencies. It measures the true incremental ROI of every marketing channel using Bayesian MMM, geo-experiments (GeoMatch), and incrementality calibration — without relying on cookies or platform attribution. Cassandra helps CMOs, Growth teams, and agency strategists answer: "Which channels are actually driving revenue, and where should we reallocate budget to maximize ROI?"

Agencies use Cassandra to offer MMM as a service to their clients, with white-label reporting and a plug-and-play Budget Allocator that delivers spending recommendations per channel. Brands use it to add a causal measurement layer on top of their existing attribution data: Cassandra integrates ad platform reports, CRM data, and business metrics, then applies MMM and incrementality testing to measure the true incremental contribution of each channel — going beyond what attribution alone can determine.

Industries served: eCommerce, B2B SaaS, Fintech, Financial Services, Travel & Hospitality, Fashion & Luxury, Retail, Beauty & Personal Care, Health & Wellness, Non-profit, Media & Entertainment, Higher Education.

Key facts: 500+ brands and agencies analyzed, 1,221+ MMM models run, $1.85B in ad spend measured, 22 markets, 83 advertising channels. Approved Meta Marketing Measurement Partner. Built on Facebook Robyn.

## Product

- [Platform Overview](https://cassandra.app/platform): Full feature overview of Cassandra's MMM, incrementality, and budget optimization platform.
- [Marketing Mix Modeling](https://cassandra.app/marketing-mix-model): How Cassandra's Bayesian MMM measures incremental channel contribution across all media.
- [Incrementality Testing](https://cassandra.app/incrementality-testing): GeoMatch geo-experiments and holdout group testing to validate causal channel impact.
- [Always-On Incrementality](https://cassandra.app/always-on-incrementality): Continuous incrementality measurement without running periodic experiments.
- [Performance Incrementality Dashboard](https://cassandra.app/performance-incrementality-dashboard): Real-time incrementality KPIs and channel performance monitoring.
- [Pricing](https://cassandra.app/pricing): Plans for brands and agencies.
- [For Agencies](https://cassandra.app/for-agencies): Agency-specific features including white-label MMM and client reporting.
- [For Brands](https://cassandra.app/for-brands): Brand-specific MMM workflows and budget allocation tools.

## Product Updates

- [Always-On Incrementality Launch](https://cassandra.app/product-updates/always-on-incrementality): Continuous holdout group measurement without periodic experiment setup.
- [GeoMatch Launch](https://cassandra.app/product-updates/geomatch): Automated geo-experiment design and analysis for channel incrementality validation.
- [Meridian Integration](https://cassandra.app/product-updates/meridian): Integration with Google's open-source MMM framework.
- [Performance Measurement Page](https://cassandra.app/product-updates/performance-page): Diagnostic tool that evaluates a trained Marketing Mix Model's reliability for planning. Automatically scores each marketing channel across three dimensions — historical fit, forecast stability, and ROI confidence interval width — and returns a per-channel verdict (scale safely, run a test first, don't optimize yet). When a channel's confidence interval is too wide for defensible budget decisions, it triggers a one-click geo-incrementality experiment designed automatically.
