Get attention with a strong spike of
surprise and happiness in the first eight
seconds. Avoid confusion.
Prevent drops and end
with a spike for the
strongest impact.
Ending with an engagement
spike benefits the syndication
strategy of publishers with
higher play-to-end rates.
Syndicate to relevant
audiences with the
highest engagement.
