Marketing Analytics Tools from PyMC Labs
Unlock the power of Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) analytics with PyMC-Marketing. This open-source marketing analytics tool empowers businesses to make smarter, data-driven decisions for maximizing ROI in marketing campaigns.
This repository is supported by PyMC Labs.
For businesses looking to integrate PyMC-Marketing into their operational framework, PyMC Labs offers expert consulting and training. Our team is proficient in state-of-the-art Bayesian modeling techniques, with a focus on Marketing Mix Models (MMMs) and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). For more information see here.
Explore these topics further by watching our video on Bayesian Marketing Mix Models: State of the Art.
To dive into MMM and CLV analytics, set up a specialized environment, marketing_env, via conda-forge:
conda create -c conda-forge -n marketing_env pymc-marketing
conda activate marketing_envFor a comprehensive installation guide, refer to the official PyMC installation documentation.
We provide a Dockerfile to build a Docker image for PyMC-Marketing so that is accessible from a Jupyter Notebook. See here for more details.
Leverage our Bayesian MMM API to tailor your marketing strategies effectively. Based on the research Jin, Yuxue, et al. “Bayesian methods for media mix modeling with carryover and shape effects.” (2017), and integrating the expertise from core PyMC developers, our API provides:
- Custom Priors and Likelihoods: Tailor your model to your specific business needs by including domain knowledge via prior distributions.
- Adstock Transformation: Optimize the carry-over effects in your marketing channels.
- Saturation Effects: Understand the diminishing returns in media investments.
- Time-varying Intercept: Capture time-varying baseline contributions in your model (using modern and efficient Gaussian processes approximation methods).
- Visualization and Model Diagnostics: Get a comprehensive view of your model's performance and insights.
- Out-of-sample Predictions: Forecast future marketing performance with credible intervals. Use this for simulations and scenario planning.
- Budget Optimization: Allocate your marketing spend efficiently across various channels for maximum ROI.
- Experiment Calibration: Fine-tune your model based on empirical experiments for a more unified view of marketing.
import pandas as pd
from pymc_marketing.mmm import DelayedSaturatedMMM
data_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pymc-labs/pymc-marketing/main/data/mmm_example.csv"
data = pd.read_csv(data_url, parse_dates=['date_week'])
mmm = DelayedSaturatedMMM(
date_column="date_week",
channel_columns=["x1", "x2"],
control_columns=[
"event_1",
"event_2",
"t",
],
adstock_max_lag=8,
yearly_seasonality=2,
)Initiate fitting and get a visualization of some of the outputs with:
X = data.drop("y",axis=1)
y = data["y"]
mmm.fit(X,y)
mmm.plot_components_contributions();
Once the model is fitted, we can further optimize our budget allocation as we are including diminishing returns and carry-over effects in our model.

Understand and optimize your customer's value with our CLV models. Our API supports various types of CLV models, catering to both contractual and non-contractual settings, as well as continuous and discrete transaction modes.
Explore our detailed CLV examples using data from the lifetimes package:
| Non-contractual | Contractual | |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous | Buying groceries | Audible |
| Discrete | Cinema ticket | Monthly or yearly subscriptions |

data = pd.read_csv(data_url)
data["customer_id"] = data.index
beta_geo_model = clv.BetaGeoModel(data=data)
beta_geo_model.fit()Once fitted, we can use the model to predict the number of future purchases for known customers, the probability that they are still alive, and get various visualizations plotted.
