Metis
<Metis>, the demand platform behind the service
Metis is the consumer demand platform MediaVision built, owns and runs. Our consultants use it every day. Your teams can use it too: one weekly view of the market for trading, buying, merchandising, marketing, finance and brand.
Two ways to use it
With MediaVision
Work with the agency and Metis comes with the service. Our consultants read it on Monday, act on it through the week and report against it. Your team gets logins too, so the numbers in the trade meeting are the same ones we are working from.
For your own teams
License Metis and run it yourselves. A light setup, then your trading, buying, merchandising, marketing, finance and brand teams work from the same weekly data. MediaVision hosts and supports the platform, and is there whenever you want the service behind it.
What each team gets
One database, every team, one weekly view of demand
Trading
Open demand-led category pages in minutes and lead the Monday trading meeting with the market view in hand.
Buying
Commit to long-lead stock on what the market is searching for, including products you do not stock yet, with five years of history behind the call.
Merchandising
See the proven products sitting where customers cannot find them, and move them up the page yourself, without a ticket to the tech team.
Marketing
Time campaigns to real surges in intent, and keep product copy in your brand voice across every language you sell in.
Finance
Put paid and organic search on one screen, cut spend on terms you already win, and protect margin with a weekly view of demand.
Brand
Know whether more or fewer people search for you by name against your competitors, week by week. It separates "we are losing customers" from "the whole category is shrinking".
C-suite
One weekly answer for the board: is demand for what you sell rising or falling, and are you taking your share of it. No waiting for the month-end deck.
Engineering
Nothing to build. Metis sits beside your platform and hands over page-ready output and data exports, so your backlog stays yours.
In-house SEO
Search demand at product level, five years deep, refreshed every week with rankings alongside. Brief content and category work from this week's evidence.
Product copy
Copy written in your brand voice from the words customers actually search, in every language you sell in, at catalogue scale.
In their words
Metis, in our customers' words
“Metis is now embedded into all areas of our business and is the central platform that allows us to make decisions faster than our competition. The insight from the platform is impacting decision making by the marketing teams and is also transcending into the daily decisions that are made by the trading and merchandising teams.”
“Metis empowers us to keep our heads in the data and our eyes on the road ahead. We know that the world is changing faster than ever but Metis is helping us to achieve our ambitious growth targets within an extremely competitive marketplace.”
Built with retailers
Shaped by our Client Council, built and hosted by us
We have invested in targeted development work so our clients have not had to ask their own tech teams to build the data views they need. The roadmap is set with a Client Council attended by some of the biggest names in retail, so what gets built next answers the problems retailers have right now, not the ones a software vendor imagines they have.
And when you speak to us, you speak to the people who built the software. There is no ticket queue and no quarter-long wait for a tech team. You tell us what you need, we see it in the data, and we build it. Years of Google's last-minute announcements taught us to move that quickly.
