What MMCG does

MMCG LLC (Эм Эм Си Жи ХХК), operating as Mongolian Marketing Consulting Group, is a privately held, Ulaanbaatar-headquartered full-service market research and consulting firm that has operated for approximately 20 years (since circa 2004–2005) in the Mongolian market. The company operates through two principal divisions: Business Intelligence (corporate vision, brand health, customer and employee experience, NPD, and communication testing) and a Think Tank arm (socio-economic, policy, and sectoral research). Service lines include Corporate Vision 360 Analysis, Brand Health & Behavioral Segmentation, NPD research, Communication Creative Strategy testing and monitoring, an annual National Media & Lifestyle Report, socio-economic research, and a paid Marketing Prof training program (MNT 2,000,000 per participant). Proprietary measurement technologies include Eye Tracking and EMO Scan equipment for attention and emotion testing of advertising content.

MMCG serves three primary customer segments: Mongolian government ministries and regulatory bodies (e.g., Ministry of Education and Science, Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, National Audit Office, National Statistics Office); large Mongolian corporates across banking, telecommunications, mining, fintech (QPAY), and real estate (NCD Group); and international development organizations including UNDP, UNFPA, UNICEF, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Millennium Challenge Corporation, and the European Union. Repeat multi-year engagements — including a third consecutive year with a leading mobile operator and a 12+ year continuous National Media & Lifestyle Report — indicate retained institutional relationships.

Revenue is generated through quote-based, multi-year consulting contracts with government and multilateral clients plus the cohort-based Marketing Prof training program. MMCG pursues B2B direct sales and business development, supported by corporate marketing channels (website, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube). Strategic international alliances include IPSOS (since 2015), Macromill Group (Japan), Dohwa Engineering and Korea National Railway (Ulaanbaatar Metro), ADB/MCC (Water Sector Sustainability), and the EU 2021-2027 framework. The firm is independently owned, with no disclosed external equity funding, and reports no headcount or revenue figures in source materials.
