ABOUT
UMM: The key to measuring and
optimizing your marketing spend
in one place
The Universal Media Measurement (UMM) tool is the result of a strategic collaboration between The Coca-Cola Company, Top Line Marketing (TLM), and Kantar. Built on TLM’s foundational UMM framework and enhanced by Kantar’s proprietary creative and media effectiveness methodologies, this tool represents a shared commitment to advancing how we measure media performance across platforms.
Together, Coca-Cola, TLM, and Kantar have co-developed this solution to help marketers better understand the impact of their media investments and drive more effective decision-making.

WHAT UMM PROVIDES
What UMM Provides
UMM uses advanced data science technologies and AI to ingest and process vast amounts of client data. 

Unified Measurement System

UMM creates a single, uniform, standard measurement system that works across ALL medias accurately and simply. UMM does not seek to change the specific measures of each media but rather create a common currency interface that allows consumer touchpoints to be compared and reported under the same basic criteria.

Standardized Quality Metrics

UMM includes a series of pre-defined criteria to measure the quality of the different media (Qmd). These pre-defined criteria provide a Quality Index. The Quality Index operates similarly to the independent “credit rating” by investment firms. Of note, today, there is not a single media agency that provides a media quality rating system.

Optimizing Media Plans

The impacts of the different medias are then applied to our UMM model so that the average quality of a media plan leveraging all consumer touchpoints can be calculated and the media plans optimized going forward.

UMM’s goal is to make media choices agnostic of its source and facilitate better resource allocation. UMM places all media under a similar “language” and measurement system. This enables UMM to i) better understand  and compare the impacts generated by each media, ii) assign a “quality” measure to those impacts and iii) understand their CPT. With this information, we are able to make more articulated media choices moving resources to media delivering higher number of impacts, better quality and lower cost per thousand.

The heart of the problem that we are solving for with UMM is the lack of a single, unified and standardized measurement system enabling us to compare ALL consumer touchpoints. UMM addresses this by creating our own measurement system to give visibility, value and comparability to all consumer touchpoints we invest in as an enterprise.

UMM ingests vast amounts of data on Paid, Earned, Owned and Shared consumer touchpoints. We use a variety of data sources to measure the impacts of each consumer touchpoint. UMM then uses its proprietary process to place a value on each media touchpoint thereby enabling the measurement of impacts in terms of value. Currently we have 70+ consumer touchpoints evaluated in our tool with more being added on a regular basis.

UMM compares ALL consumer touchpoints for a brand and their ability to impact/influence consumers. By putting a relative value on each touchpoint, UMM helps clients better prioritize where to build/invest in experiences. UMM identifies underutilized touchpoints which offer better value for investment and puts clients in the driving seat on how and where to allocate their marketing resources.

We believe that one day, UMM will become the industry standard for allocating marketing spend. All companies can benefit from the power of UMM but the companies which will benefit most are those who are investing significant resources across a broad range of Paid, Earned, Owned and Shared consumer touchpoints.  UMM will generate significant efficiencies through more effective resource allocation across brands and countries.
