1) Lumen Research uses eye tracking technology to measure users' attention to digital ads and content across media. They have analyzed data from 500 panelists in their continuous panel since 2016. 2) Their research shows that there are dramatic differences in users' attention, or "quality of attention" across different media - for example, users pay more attention to ads on Facebook than on desktop display ads. They also found that non-skippable video ads receive more attention than skippable ones. 3) Lumen Research's analysis demonstrates that greater attention leads to better outcomes like increased ad recall, higher conversion rates, and sales. They recommend that advertisers, planners and publishers optimize media buying and inventory pricing based on
