How En Voiture Simone arbitrates its media mix on contribution

A Marketing Mix Model that integrates paid channels, organic channels, and market context to estimate what actually contributes to license sales — and to redeploy budget when the environment shifts.

Base & brand34% of modeled contribution to license sales

Illustrative split. Modeled contribution, all channels combined.

The challenge

Large budgets, an app, and a market that moves on its own

En Voiture Simone sells driving licenses online, with a mobile app that captures signups and delivers the theory test. Acquisition runs across every paid channel, with substantial budgets. But when it comes to arbitrating, two unknowns resist classic reporting: the app's real share of license sales, and the effect of regulatory shocks on demand.

App

Signups, theory test

Web

License sales, content

The app blurs attribution

Signups land on the app, licenses also sell through the web. Last click cannot say which journey actually sells.

A series of exogenous shocks

CPF reform, paid activation, examiner shortage: demand moves for reasons that have nothing to do with marketing.

A rare skill to keep in-house

Contribution modeling requires sharp statistical expertise, hard to justify internally for a periodic need.

The solution

A contribution model, not an oracle

01

Every channel, one model

The MMM integrates paid channels, organic channels, and exogenous factors to estimate each lever's contribution to license sales.

Decision
02

App vs web, finally settled

The model separates what the app actually brings to sales from what flows through the web — the question no reporting could answer.

Attribution
03

A regularly refreshed model

The market changes, so does the model: refreshed regularly over two years, it checks after every shock whether the mix still holds.

Steering
The model

Contribution, not last click

The MMM estimates each lever's share of sales, including what last click never sees: brand, organic, the app. It then serves to test reallocation scenarios before committing budget.

Exogenous factors integrated

The model isolates what belongs to marketing from what belongs to context. When regulation or exam supply shifts, the reading of the mix stays true.

What the model enabled

Reallocating without betting

Over two years, the model served as a decision aid: recutting investment, redirecting part of the budgets toward the channels estimated most profitable, and running successive experiments to validate every move.

Above all, it settled questions classic reporting left open: the app's share of license sales, and the mix's resilience to exogenous shocks — CPF reform, examiner shortage. What these factors changed in demand was no longer a matter of opinion, but a variable in the model.

The model is refreshed regularly: every market shift becomes a mix update, not a crisis.
