A Wide Media Mix Beats a Narrow Mix

 

At Empower, we run a lot of models across clients, categories, and verticals. 

One of the key drivers that we’ve identified through our research is a wide, diverse mix of media channels.

A diverse channel mix is one of the most significant drivers of overall media performance, adding as much as 35% additional volume at the same budget level.

 

This finding is consistent across 100% of tested examples and the trend is identical, with narrower media mixes consistently and significantly underperforming compared to wider mixes.

 

Additionally, a wide mix is more likely to maintain consistency during low seasonal periods where consumers are less likely to be in-market without marketing’s push.
