Attention for social media

Capturing eyeballs in the scroll

In the ever-scrolling world of social media, grabbing genuine human attention is like finding a needle in a haystack, while blindfolded. At Amplified, we cut through the digital noise to measure how, when, and why users engage with your social media ads.

Understanding social media attention

Social media is the ultimate portable companion, accompanying users everywhere. From morning commutes to late-night snack runs. With billions of users worldwide, and projections reaching over 5.8 billion by 2027, it's a goldmine for advertisers. But here's the kicker: not all attention is created equal.

We break down attention into three flavours:

Active attention
Eyes locked directly on your ad, cue the applause.
Passive attention
Screen in view, but focus elsewhere, perhaps on that cute cat video.
Non attention
Eyes (and mind) completely off-screen, time to rethink that strategy.
Understanding these nuances helps you tailor your media and creative strategies to capture the right kind of attention at the right moment.

Our approach: Real people, real interactions

We utilise in-built cameras on mobile devices to track eye movements as users naturally navigate their social media feeds. No gimmicks, no intrusive gadgets, just authentic engagement. Rest assured, our process strictly adheres to privacy and GDPR standards, because we value trust as much as you do.

Our machine learning models analyse factors influencing attention intensity, including:

  • Ad Visibility
  • Scroll Speed
  • Attention Shifts
  • Ad Coverage
  • Peak Attention Moments
  • Gaze Distribution
  • And oh so many more!

This comprehensive analysis ensures a true attention measurement, giving you insights that are both deep and actionable.
