The honest read

Credit first: Tinuiti built measurement into the agency.

Many agencies buy in their modeling. Tinuiti built its own suite, publishes what is in it and certified with Google on Meridian.

A weekly model: Rapid MMM reads out weekly or monthly, by channel, week and market
Geo MMM for the local effect of media, with forecasting and what-if planning by region
A next-best-dollar tool that shows where the next unit of budget should go
Certified Google Meridian partner, building on an open methodology anyone can read

The difference

The difference is structural, not personal.

Odins buys no media. An agency that models the media it also plans and buys has a structural interest in the result, whatever the quality of its analysts. The rest is contract: who owns the model and the data, how the work is priced, and what you keep if you change agency. Tinuiti's pages do not say.

No media to sell: every channel is measured with the same data standards and the same model
Data work included, digital and offline down to each TV spot, with the dataset deliverable to your own warehouse
You own the model and the data; on exit, a full CSV export, then deletion or return within 30 days
Daily data flow, monthly retrain and reviewed recommendation, scenarios and forecasts any time, from the platform or your own AI assistant through the Odins MCP

A tight range is a decision. A wide range is a test plan, with cost boundaries.

The choice

Who should choose which.

Keep the agency either way. The question is who runs the model, who owns it, and what you pay for it.

Choose Tinuiti if

Tinuiti already runs your media and you want measurement inside that relationship
You want weekly readouts tied to the team that changes the buys
Your budget sits mostly in performance channels and retail media

Choose Odins if

Measurement should come from a party that buys no media
You want a model and a dataset you own, that stay with you if you change agency
TV, radio, OOH or print carry real budget and belong in the same model as digital

The honest overlap

A test you can apply to both: ask for the forecasts made before the actuals arrived, for a copy of the harmonized dataset in your own warehouse, and for the clause that says what you keep when the contract ends. Odins buys no media and plans none, so the agency stays for strategy and buying, with as much access to the model as you want.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Is Tinuiti's MMM built on Google Meridian?

Tinuiti became a certified Google Meridian partner in September 2025 and says it builds on Meridian's open methodology, with its Bliss Point suite on top. Its product pages do not describe the technical link between the two. Odins is not built on Meridian or PyMC-Marketing; it runs its own Bayesian stack.

How much does Tinuiti's MMM cost?

Tinuiti does not publish a price, and its pages do not say whether MMM is sold apart from its media services, so ask for it itemized. Odins is a subscription priced for the budget it optimizes, with the team included.

Can we buy Rapid MMM without using Tinuiti for media?

Tinuiti's pages do not say. Its contact form asks for annual advertising spend and its release calls Bliss Point the agency's own tech suite. Ask before you scope it.

Does Odins replace our media agency?

No. Odins does not plan media, buy media or make creative. It collects and structures the data, runs the model and delivers reviewed recommendations; the agency stays for strategy and buying, and can have as much access to the model as you want.
