For short-term conversion campaigns, Facebook feed ads are the most effective. They capture high levels of Active Attention in the first few seconds, ensuring the key message and brand are noticed. This format drives fast-impact, sales-oriented results while reinforcing brand cues efficiently.
Instagram feed serves as an excellent complement, extending reach and reinforcing messaging. With over 50% of viewers engaging actively and 1.33 seconds of Active Attention, it supports rapid-response campaigns and boosts conversion rates when paired with Facebook feed.
Pinterest video may underperform for short-term sales goals. With minimal Active Attention—averaging only 0.5 seconds—early viewer drop-off reduces effectiveness. Consider prioritising other platforms for immediate-response campaigns.
Although the first branded moment currently occurs at 4 seconds, it’s recommended to position the brand as early as possible to maximize viewer attention. Early brand cues ensure recognition even if viewers drop off quickly. Subsequent visuals should continue reinforcing the brand consistently throughout the ad.
At 7 seconds, the ad sits within an effective range for short-form social placements. However, attention data shows viewers primarily engage within the opening moments, with most active attention occurring in the first seconds of the ad. Bringing the core gameplay mechanic and value proposition forward — or testing a shorter 4–5 second cut — could help ensure the key message lands within the window where viewers are most attentive.
