Actionable guidance to optimise media choices and enhance creative effectiveness based on your results.
Media recommendations
If creative cannot be changed, which media choices maximise attention?
Recommended format
Snapchat
commercial
With 7.34 seconds of Active Attention, Snapchat commercial provides a prime opportunity for a challenger brand to establish brand presence. Over 73% of the ad is actively consumed, maximizing impact before audience disengagement.
Complementary format
Facebook
stories
A strategic addition to boost engagement and exposure is Facebook stories. With 3.45 of Active Attention and 0.13 of Passive Attention, it serves as an effective awareness driver.
Reconsider format
Pinterest
standard video
With only 0.27 seconds of Active Attention, this format is ill-suited for brand-building, regardless of scale. Formats with sub-2.5-second Active Attention fail to provide necessary exposure before users disengage.
Creative recommendations
If you can't influence the media, but can influence the creative.
Branding
Strong
For a challenger brand, early branding is a major advantage in a brand-building campaign. It ensures visibility among competitors and strengthens awareness.
Ad length and format
Ineffective
These formats are not ideal for 10-second ads, as users disengage quickly on scrollable channels. For a challenger brand without the strongest mental availability in the category, more attention is even more critical. Opt for high-retention formats that keep your brand visible and reinforce messaging effectively.
