Your Meta ads drive Amazon sales. Your TikTok campaigns lift retail. Your brand spend creates a rising tide across every channel. But your measurement treats each one as an island — so you're making budget decisions based on a fraction of the picture.

Halo lift
The status quo
Your brand runs a major Meta campaign. DTC sales go up 15%. But Amazon sales also spike 22% that same week. Retail sell-through jumps. Was it the Meta campaign? Seasonality? A competitor's stockout? You'll never know because your Shopify analytics, Amazon Seller Central, and retail reporting live in completely different worlds.
The result?
Invisible ROI
Channels that drive massive halo effects get underfunded because their impact only shows up in other channels' dashboards
Cannibalization fears
You can't tell if growing DTC is stealing from Amazon or if both are growing from shared marketing lift
Budget wars
Each channel team fights for budget using their own data, and nobody has the full picture to arbitrate
The paradigm shift
Prescient's MMM measures the total impact of your marketing across DTC, Amazon, retail, and wholesale simultaneously. See halo effects — how Meta ads lift Amazon, how brand spend drives retail — and allocate budget based on total business impact, not channel-level vanity metrics.
How it works
Each channel lives in its own analytics silo — Shopify doesn't know about Amazon, Amazon doesn't know about retail. Prescient ingests data from all of them: DTC, Amazon Seller Central, retail POS, and wholesale. One model measures the total impact of each marketing investment across all revenue streams.
DTC — Shopify
Amazon — Seller Central
Retail — POS data
TOTAL REVENUE IMPACT
Unified view
DTC-only measurement would miss 48% of impact
You suspect cross-channel effects exist but can't prove them. Prescient's halo effect measurement quantifies how each marketing channel lifts sales in other channels. See that your TikTok spend is driving 30% of its impact through Amazon. See that brand TV is lifting DTC conversion rates. Finally have the data to prove what you've always suspected.
Budget optimization that ignores cross-channel effects leaves money on the table. Prescient's optimization engine accounts for total business impact — including halo effects — when recommending budget changes. It might recommend increasing TikTok spend even if DTC-only ROAS looks low, because the Amazon and retail halo effects make it your most efficient channel overall.
The omnichannel tax you're already paying
Most brands selling across multiple channels are unknowingly over-investing in channels with low halo effects and under-investing in channels with high ones. The math is simple: if your Meta campaigns drive 30% of their impact through Amazon and retail, and your measurement only sees the DTC portion, you're systematically undervaluing your best marketing.
The brands that measure total impact don't just get better data. They make fundamentally different budget decisions — and they outperform competitors still stuck in channel silos.
WITHOUT CROSS-CHANNEL MEASUREMENT
Your TikTok DTC ROAS is 1.8x. You cut budget by 40%. Two weeks later, Amazon sales drop 25% and retail reorders slow. Nobody connects the dots. The marketing team blames seasonality. The Amazon team blames algorithm changes. The budget stays cut.
WITH PRESCIENT
You see that TikTok's total ROAS is actually 4.1x when you include Amazon and retail halo effects. Instead of cutting, you increase spend. DTC, Amazon, and retail all grow together. Your CMO presents unified results to the board — with data, not gut instinct.

FAQ
Prescient measures marketing impact across DTC (Shopify, BigCommerce), Amazon (Seller Central, DSP), retail (POS and sell-through data), and wholesale channels. All revenue streams are modeled together so you can see the total impact of each marketing investment — including cross-channel halo effects that traditional analytics completely miss.
Prescient's marketing mix model ingests revenue data from all your sales channels simultaneously and measures the statistical relationship between marketing spend and sales lift across channels. For example, the model can quantify how much of your Meta ad spend's impact shows up as Amazon revenue versus DTC revenue, giving you a complete picture of each channel's true ROI across your entire business.
Yes. Prescient models Amazon advertising (Sponsored Products, DSP) and DTC marketing channels independently while measuring their cross-channel effects. You can see how your Meta campaigns lift Amazon organic sales separately from how Amazon Sponsored Products drive Amazon revenue. This prevents double-counting and gives you clean attribution across channels.
You can start with DTC measurement and add channels as you expand. Prescient's model adapts as you grow — once you have enough data from a new channel (typically 8-12 weeks), we incorporate it into the unified model. Many brands start DTC-only and add Amazon or retail measurement as those channels scale.
Prescient complements your existing tools rather than replacing them. Your Shopify analytics, Amazon Seller Central, and retail reporting continue to provide channel-level operational data. Prescient adds the cross-channel measurement layer that none of those tools can provide individually — showing you how marketing investments drive results across all channels simultaneously.
You don't need perfect data from every channel on day one. Prescient can begin modeling with the channels where you have strong data and incorporate additional channels as data quality improves. Our onboarding team helps identify data gaps and works with you to get the most accurate cross-channel view possible within 1-2 weeks.
