Quotes from Gary Danks:

"MMM is a methodology used to measure and analyze the impact of various marketing activities on your conversions. Now, where the sort of the confusion comes in is that it sounds quite familiar to the industry standard of last touch attribution. But to truly grasp marketing mixed modeling or MMM, it's important to distinguish it from last touch attribution."

"The biggest challenge is probably just old mindset. We've been in this industry for many years and last touch attribution is the standard form of measurement and it's been around for 12, 13 years or so. So quite often companies are testing MMM but they don't want to believe the data because they've maybe built lifetime value models of their last touch attribution."
