Using eye-tracking technology, AIP’s exclusive metric, Attention Time, measures how long a person spends staring at an advertisement in a single second. According to a 2019 Kantar study, Attention Time outperforms standard view-ability metrics by 7.5 times when it comes to boosting brand awareness and 5.9 times when it comes to boosting recall.
