The IAB Europe’s Guide to Attention in Digital Marketing

This guide to attention in digital marketing has been developed by experts from IAB Europe's Brand Advertising Committee as both an introduction to the topic and as a means of sparking wider industry debate around how attention measurement should develop over the next few years.

Still a nascent field, this guide provides an overview of what attention is in digital advertising and why attention measurement is gaining interest now. The guide also reports a suggested framework for measuring attention and outlines implementation best practices, as well as case studies from real-world deployments of attention measurement tools.

In short, this guide attempts to answer key questions brands are currently asking about attention measurement including:

• Why is attention important?
• What tools are available to measure attention?
• What are the use cases for these tools?
• How can I best integrate attention into my digital advertising campaigns?
