Odins vs Analytic Partners
Analytic Partners has shaped MMM for 25 years and leads Gartner's Magic Quadrant. It is built for the world's largest advertisers. That is exactly the comparison: what the global benchmark assumes and costs, against a platform built for the Nordic mid-market.

Credit first: this is the enterprise benchmark.
When a global CPG or bank runs a formal MMM procurement, Analytic Partners is usually in the final round, and often wins it. That reputation was earned.
- A Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for MMM, 25 years into the category
- ROI Genome: benchmark learnings accumulated across thousands of models and billions in spend
- Published research on halo effects between channels that most vendors cannot match
- True global delivery for billion-dollar, multi-market advertisers
The benchmark, or the right size.
Nothing on this page argues Analytic Partners is not good. The argument is fit. Their platform and price assume enterprise scale, global coordination and an analytics organization to receive it all. Odins assumes a Nordic marketing team that needs the investment question answered monthly, without a program office.
- A focused product: budget size, allocation and scenarios, not a solutions portfolio
- Priors set as a discipline for thin Nordic markets, where a global template has the least to grab onto
- A monthly human-reviewed recommendation and open verification against actuals
- Mid-market price and weeks to value, without an implementation program
Channel contribution, 80% ranges
from the posteriorA tight range is a decision. A wide range is a test plan, with cost boundaries.
The choice
Who should choose which.
This one really is about size and shape. Be honest about yours.
Choose Analytic Partners if
- You are a billion-dollar, multi-market advertiser coordinating measurement globally
- You need commercial analytics beyond marketing: pricing, promotion and portfolio questions
- Procurement wants a Magic Quadrant Leader with decades of enterprise references
Choose Odins if
- You are a Nordic or European mid-market advertiser and want value in weeks
- The question is your marketing investment, not a full commercial analytics program
- You want the model verified in the open, at a price that fits the budget it optimizes
The honest overlap
If your revenue is measured in billions and marketing runs across 20 markets, they are the safer call, and we will say so in the first meeting. Most Nordic advertisers are not that, and pay for the assumption when they buy as if they were.
Frequently asked questions.
Why choose a Nordic challenger over the Gartner Leader?
Buy for fit. The Leader position is earned at enterprise scale, and so are the delivery model and pricing behind it. A mid-market Nordic advertiser gets the same category of methodology from us, sized for the actual decision, with the model verified monthly in the open. If you are at enterprise scale, read the other column again.
What is ROI Genome, and does Odins have an equivalent?
It is their benchmark layer built from decades of models, and for enterprise pattern questions it is genuinely valuable. We do not sell benchmarks. Our substitute is disciplined priors built from your own history, digital signals and interviews, because your market's answer beats a global average whenever the two disagree.
They model halo and synergy effects. Does Odins?
Their halo research is real, and cross-channel synergy terms are not a standard part of our model. We handle interplay through how activities are structured and through controlled tests rather than synergy coefficients. If formal synergy modeling is a buying criterion for you, that is a genuine difference in their favour.
How do the prices compare?
Neither of us publishes pricing, so ask both. The structural point: their delivery includes analyst teams and consulting scoped for global enterprises; ours is a subscription with the Odins team included, sized for mid-market marketing budgets.
Can Odins handle more than one market?
Yes: one model per market, rolled up for the group view. The difference from a global program is that each market's model is built for its own data depth rather than inheriting a global template.
