Circana Launches Liquid Mix, an AI-Powered Self-Service Marketing Mix Platform

Chicago, April 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Circana, LLC, a leading advisor on the complexity of consumer behavior, announced today that it is launching Liquid Mix™, a groundbreaking self-service marketing mix platform. Designed to empower brands of all sizes, Liquid Mix solution provides marketers with rapid, actionable insights to optimize marketing budgets like never before.

“Marketing mix has always been critical for guiding strategic decisions, but too often, barriers like cost, time, and technical complexity have prevented brands from fully realizing its value,” said Yeimy Garcia Smith, senior vice president of Global Measurement at Circana. “Liquid Mix removes those barriers, offering brands an innovative self-service solution. Not only is it faster and more accessible, but Liquid Mix remains rooted in Circana’s trusted, industry-leading data, ensuring brands never have to compromise on quality and granularity. The future of marketing mix is flexible, and with the addition of Liquid Mix to our Circana portfolio, we now offer a faster, more accessible solution tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients.”

Revolutionizing Marketing Mix Modeling
The Liquid Mix AI-powered self-service platform addresses long-standing challenges in traditional marketing mix approaches. Historically resource-intensive, slow, and primarily accessible to flagship brands, marketing mix modeling has often been out of reach for smaller businesses or non-core brands. Liquid Mix solution changes the game by delivering on-demand, AI-powered insights that are fast, accessible, and user-friendly.

With Liquid Mix, Circana’s trusted store-level, point-of-sale (POS) data serves as the foundation, ensuring marketers no longer need to choose between accuracy and speed. Key attributes include:

• Fast: Achieve answers to critical business questions in minutes with Liquid Mix solution—80% faster than traditional marketing mix models.
• Flexible: Leverage Unify+, an on-demand decision-making platform built for smarter, data-driven strategies. Export insights to PowerPoint or Excel and model performance at sub-brand and channel levels. Adapt as business evolves, revisit models, and integrate data for comprehensive analysis.
• Granular: Harness the power of Circana’s store-level data and AI to drive business outcomes. Perform advanced historical modeling to uncover insights, confidently simulate future scenarios, and fine-tune marketing spend for maximum ROI. Access an extensive database of thousands of CPG and general merchandise industry benchmarks for precise context and dependable comparisons.

Designed for Brands of All Sizes
Whether businesses are new to marketing mix modeling or looking for flexible approaches to meet their measurement needs, Liquid Mix has them covered. The Liquid Mix AI-powered self-service platform delivers a powerful, streamlined, and scalable solution, serving as either a stand-alone solution or part of a larger strategy to measure and plan your marketing investments.

Brands using the Liquid Mix solution can expect results grounded in Circana’s comprehensive data ecosystem, which integrates marketing, trade, macroeconomic factors, pricing, distribution, and competition. Historical studies show that in the first year of adoption of Liquid Mix, brands can generate up to a 45x return on their investment in the solution.

Availability
The AI-powered Liquid Mix platform is making its debut during Circana’s Growth Summit, taking place April 7-9 in Orlando, Florida. The platform’s launch is slated for the summer of 2025 for U.S.-based clients, as well as U.K., France, and Italy in EMEA. Germany is expected to follow later this year.
