Periodically, when setting the budget or evaluating commercial results, management has to update or modify the business forecast from their original objectives.
CoreForecast is the predictive model that offers dynamic support to media-marketing teams by helping answer questions such as:
- given a budget, what levels of sales and market share will the brand obtain?
- What opportunities can be exploited to improve marketing mix and resource planning within the same budget.
- How much additional budget is necessary to meet higher objectives ( increase sales by an additional +5/10%)?

METHODOLOGY
The tool engine works on a series of formulas that define the decisional algorithms based upon the coefficients of elasticity obtained by another econometric model of the brand and its market.
For new product launches, the decisional algorithms are initially aligned with those of similar products / segments or with Core Analytics benchmarks. The system can then be further refined by integrating the results from pre-launch tests and other ad-hoc market research surveys conducted by the client.
Sales and Operation Planning System
CoreForecast takes into account all major variables affecting market results:
- Price positioning
- Promotions
- Media support (budget, media mix, etc.)
- Distribution (ex. number of points of sales)
- Competitive conditions (number of players, media saturation, etc.)
- Trends in the sector
- Impact of seasons, macroeconomic factors, climatic conditions
- possible effects of cannibalization within the product portfolio
In addition to business data and market share, the tool can also integrate factors such as brand awareness, brand penetration, new users, etc. producing consistent forecasts on the different business performance metrics.
