About Sellforte | Enterprise MMM for Ecommerce, DTC & Retail

Sellforte is a software company that provides enterprise-grade Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) built specifically for ecommerce, DTC, and retail brands.

Traditional MMM is often delivered as a consulting project used quarterly or annually for strategic planning. Sellforte transforms MMM into a continuous software-driven system that delivers incrementality-based recommendations at the campaign and ad-set level, where real media decisions are made.

With Sellforte’s MMM platform, teams know:

Which channels deserve more or less budget
Which campaigns and ad sets to scale, pause, or adjust
How bid values should change to maximize incremental revenue
What happens to sales if budgets or bids are modified

Trusted by leading commerce brands

Sellforte combines Causal Marketing Mix Modeling, incrementality experiments, and AI Agents to plan, forecast, optimize, and increasingly execute media decisions directly inside advertising platforms.

Sellforte is purpose-built for enterprise ecommerce, DTC, and retail environments where:

Paid media is the primary growth engine
Optimization happens daily at campaign and ad-set level
Margins matter as much as revenue
Promotions and pricing impact demand
Seasonality and weather influence performance
Revenue spans ecommerce, marketplaces, and physical stores

Our models are designed to handle this complexity and translate it into campaign-level action.

Leading ecommerce and retail brands trust Sellforte to guide their most important marketing investments, including:

Sellforte pioneered Agentic Marketing Mix Modeling, an approach that connects strategic measurement with operational execution.

Agentic MMM combines:

Causal MMM to measure true incremental ROI
Incrementality experiments to calibrate and validate models
Optimization engines to simulate future outcomes
AI Agents to translate insights into daily actions

Instead of navigating complex tools, marketers can simply ask:

Which campaigns should I scale this week?
Where should I shift budget today?
What is the optimal bid for this ad set right now?

What Makes Sellforte Different?

Sellforte is built to operationalize MMM at the level where media decisions actually happen. Here are five ways Sellforte is different to other solutions:

1. Campaign and Ad-Set Level Recommendations

Most MMM solutions stop at the channel level. Sellforte delivers incrementality-based recommendations down to the campaign and ad-set level, enabling precise budget and bidding decisions inside Meta, Google, TikTok, and other platforms.

2. miROAS: Optimizing the Next Dollar

At the core of Sellforte is miROAS, marginal incremental return on ad spend.

miROAS measures the incremental return of the next marketing dollar at campaign and ad-set level, shifting optimization from historical averages to forward-looking marginal returns.

3. Agentic Workflows

Marketers interact with AI Agents that translate MMM insights into clear, explainable recommendations. Complex modeling becomes conversational, intuitive, and fast.

4. Automated Media Optimization

Through the Media Buyer Agent, Sellforte can execute approved budget and bid changes directly inside ad platforms. Optimization can operate in assisted mode or automated workflows with defined guardrails.

This transforms MMM from a strategic guide into an operational system capable of continuous optimization.

5. Specialized for Ecommerce, DTC, and Retail

Sellforte is engineered for commerce-driven industries with high media spend, promotional intensity, and omnichannel revenue complexity.

Sellforte combines causal measurement, marginal optimization, AI-powered workflows, and automated execution into a single enterprise platform.

This is how MMM becomes operational.

Sellforte methodology

Bayesian Marketing Mix Modeling at the core

At the heart of Sellforte is Bayesian Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM), which is broadly considered as the golden standard in the industry. Bayesian MMM uses time-series data and probabilistic inference to estimate marketing’s incremental sales impact.

Calibration with Geo Tests & Conversion Lift Studies

A key advantage of Bayesian MMM is model calibration through informative priors. Sellforte models are calibrated with geo tests and conversion lift studies where available.

Example: If a geo test estimates a channel’s ROI at 4.0, we incorporate that result into the model to improve robustness and accuracy.

Working with Attribution data, not against it

Unlike other MMM vendors, we see attribution data (platform-reported, last-click, and MTA) as valuable input, not something to replace. Instead of rejecting attribution data due to its biases, we embrace it and use the predictable biases to our advantage.

Attribution data helps strengthen model outputs and enables campaign- and ad set-level Marginal Incremental ROAS estimates.

Learning from your spend and bidding changes

Sellforte models continuously learn from changes in your media activity. Whether you adjust bids, shift budgets, or scale new channels, each change improves the model’s understanding of how marketing drives sales.

How Sellforte Compares

Below is how Sellforte vs other measurement approaches compares across the market.

Sellforte vs MMM Consultancies

Examples: Analytic Partners, Ekimetrics, Circana

Limitations of MMM consultancies: Consultancy-led MMM is typically delivered as a project or quarterly engagement focused on high-level strategic budget allocation and executive reporting. Projects are often slow to implement, labor-intensive, and costly, requiring ongoing analyst involvement and recurring consulting fees.

Sellforte difference: Sellforte is an enterprise MMM software that delivers continuous, incrementality-based recommendations at the campaign and ad-set level, embedded directly in daily marketing workflows. Instead of waiting weeks or months for slide decks, teams access modeling insights, optimization scenarios, and actionable recommendations inside a scalable software platform.

Sellforte vs Traditional MMM Software

Examples: Recast, Liftlab, Keen Decision Systems

Limitations of traditional MMM software: Traditional MMM software often focuses on channel-level insights and scenario planning, without delivering granular campaign-level recommendations or integrated execution capabilities.

Sellforte difference: Sellforte provides incrementality-based recommendations down to the campaign and ad-set level, powered by miROAS and connected to optimization engines and AI Agents that support daily operational decisions.

Sellforte vs Open-Source MMM Frameworks

Examples: Google Meridian, Meta Robyn

Limitations of open-source MMM: Require in-house data science teams to build and operate. Open-source MMMs are modeling frameworks without operational activation or optimization tooling.

Sellforte difference: End-to-end enterprise platform including data ingestion, model calibration, optimization engines, and AI Agents that translate models into daily media decisions.

Sellforte vs SMB-Focused MMM and Hybrid Measurement Tools

Examples: Triple Whale, Fospha, Northbeam

Limitations of SMB MMM: Designed primarily for smaller DTC brands, often combining attribution and lightweight modeling with limited enterprise-grade calibration and campaign-level operational depth.

Sellforte difference: Enterprise-grade MMM calibrated with incrementality experiments, built for complex omnichannel ecommerce and retail environments.

Sellforte vs Multi-Touch Attribution (MTA)

Limitations of MTA: Not able to measure the true incremental sales impact that each campaign and channel has, leading to bias towards bottom-of-funnel activities (e.g., retargeting and branded search).

Sellforte & MTA data: Sellforte uses Mult-touch Attribution data as a data input in the model to improve modeling quality and granularity of model insights.

Sellforte vs Last-Click Attribution

Limitations of Last-Click: Assigns credit to the final interaction and ignores upper-funnel impact.

Sellforte & Last-Click: Sellforte uses Last-click data as a data input in the model to improve modeling quality and granularity of model insights.

Sellforte vs Ad Platform Attribution

Limitations of ad platform attribution: Biased ROAS estimates due to inability to see the full conversion journey across multiple platforms and touchpoints.

Sellforte & Ad Platform Attribution: Sellforte uses Ad Platform Attribution data as a data input in the model to improve modeling quality and granularity of model insights.

Sellforte vs Geo Lift and Conversion Lift Tests

Limitations of geo & conversion lift tests: Valuable for validation but episodic by nature, not designed for continuous optimization.

Sellforte & Geo Lift and Conversion Lift Tests: Sellforte uses Geo Lift tests, Conversion Lift tests and other Experiments as a data input in the model to improve modeling quality.

Summary

In summary, Sellforte combines enterprise-grade causal MMM, campaign-level optimization, miROAS-driven marginal returns, and AI-powered operational workflows into a single platform.

That is what transforms MMM from a strategic reporting framework into a daily decision system.

Sellforte was founded on a clear belief:

Marketing decisions should be guided by causality, optimized by marginal returns, and increasingly executed by intelligent systems.

For decades, marketing measurement has been reactive. Teams looked backward at dashboards, reports, and attribution models to explain what happened. Optimization remained manual, fragmented, and slow.

We believe the next era of marketing belongs to systems that:

Measure true incremental impact
Forecast future outcomes
Recommend precise campaign- and ad-set–level actions
And continuously learn and improve over time

This is the vision behind Agentic MMM.

Sellforte is building the foundation for a new category of enterprise marketing infrastructure where:

Causal MMM powers every decision
miROAS guides marginal budget allocation
AI Agents translate models into daily workflows
Media buying becomes progressively more autonomous

Today, Sellforte enables AI-assisted optimization with explainable, campaign-level recommendations.

Tomorrow, Sellforte will extend this into increasingly automated media execution, where optimization runs continuously within defined guardrails, learning from experiments and performance data in real time.

This is not about replacing marketers.
It is about giving them a system that operates with the speed, precision, and rigor modern commerce requires.

We are moving MMM from a strategic reporting framework to an always-on decision engine.

That is the future of marketing optimization. And Sellforte is building it.

If you believe:

Measurement should guide automation
AI should be explainable and auditable
Marketing decisions deserve financial-grade rigor

Then Sellforte is built for you.
