Teads Unveils Key Learnings on Attention Measurement Across 500+ Global Campaigns Totaling 120+ Years Of Consumer Attention
Teads Attention Program, approaching its one-year anniversary, fostered insights that spanned 20 countries, 120 advertisers and 2.5B+ impressions measured, delivering key insights and learnings fueling the future evolution of attention Teads’ outcome-based partners in attention, including Lumen and Adelaide, extended findings across mobile, desktop and CTV screens
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 25 May 2023 – Teads, the global media platform, today released the findings of its recent attention meta-analysis, which has further proven the practicality of attention as a new measurement metric, and underscored actionable ways for companies to leverage attention for improved brand lift and campaign outcomes across the funnel.
A Year in Attention
Through this research, Teads was able to validate the four drivers of attention – Quality of Media, Ad Experience, Relevance, and Creative – identified through joint research with major holding companies, and provide key insights into each, as measured by Lumen and Adelaide.
Teads found that quality premium publishers, such as Condé Nast and news publishers, outperform on attention metrics, with quality Teads content driving attention levels at least three times higher than Facebook, according to multiple measurement sources. Additionally, Teads’ premium ad formats deliver attention comparable to YouTube, with a 15% higher APM (attentive seconds per 1,000 impressions) target compared to Lumen’s December 2022 benchmark, while also being better perceived and more efficient.
Moreover, Teads extended outside of digital media by measuring CTV within an omnichannel campaign across its digital and CTV inventory. Teads identified +21% lift in omnichannel attention compared to the digital-only benchmark, according to Adelaide. In one campaign, by optimizing with high attention media across all channels, a brand drove 42% stronger lifts against Teads’ in store-visitation benchmarks.
Teads’ research revealed that the four drivers of attention have a validated relationship between in-market attention measures and campaign outcomes – across different measurement partners, different verticals, and that maximizing attention can result in greater brand lift.
Jean-Paul Edwards, Managing Director, Product, OMD Worldwide said: “Attention has always been core to effective communication. At OMG, we have focused for several years on how we can effectively manage optimal delivery of the required attention for any given brief. Building on numerous attention testing programs, we have created a framework of attention parameters bespoke to each brief with tools to optimize decisions across planning, placement and creative execution. Our deep involvement with the Teads Attention Program supports that understanding, generating uplifts in attention to delivering stronger brand metrics and sales performance.”
Lastly, there is significant room for optimization on media and creative to increase attentive reach and dwell time, indicating that the adaptation of the creative to the platform and the relevance of the placement and context further enhance attention levels, with early studies showing a 20% uplift in attention across the flight of a campaign.
Srijoni Dutta Gupta, Consumer Marketing Manager, Estee Lauder EMEA said: “With the help of Teads’ team of experts, our Spring ’23 Supreme moisturizer campaign was a successful approach to strategically optimizing existing campaign assets while expressing our new consumer insights-driven storytelling in a much more impactful, measurable way. Teads understood our needs, providing valuable consumer testing data and fine-tuning turnkey deliverables for our markets.”
With increased focus on action driven by Attention Measurement, Teads is keenly focused on developing insight in three core areas: CTV and how to maximize attention on the TV screen, the intersection of context and attention as a component of measurement and planning in a cookieless world, and activation opportunities, particularly around product development to ensure highly attentive, efficient campaigns that deliver on outcomes across channels.
Liset Otten, Global Digital Activation Manager, JDE said: “The findings from our initial attention pilots with Teads conducted in the UK and Germany have inspired further roll out of attention measurement product to 10+ markets. We see significant opportunity to reduce wastage in digital buying and ensure that we are reaching people and not just devices. While we continue to move through the stages of our phased approach to testing and evaluating the attention metric, we strongly encourage markets to consider participating, as feasible.”
Caroline Hugonenc, Senior Vice President, Research & Insights, Teads adds: “What is truly unique with Teads Attention Program is that we are enabling clients to test, learn and measure outcomes related to attention on live campaigns. From these findings, we have seen clients embrace attention and build a competitive advantage as the industry aligns on a standard definition of attention as a metric. To support them in their journey, we will keep on innovating on the measurement solutions that we are proposing but also on the integration of attention metrics in the activation and planning stage.”

Elevating Benchmarks to Enhance Malaysia’s Healthcare Ecosystem
Malaysia, aspiring to be the main cancer treatment hub in Asia, sets out to provide excellent cancer care services with advanced cancer screening innovations.
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 25 May 2023 – Cancer is a leading cause of death globally. Nevertheless, early identification of the disease has been linked to lower mortality rates, with the survival rate at one and five years for most cancers being higher if the cancer is detected at the first stage and treated early.
Malaysia, as a Cancer Care Centre of Excellence in the region, is a top-of-mind destination among healthcare travellers. This is due, in part, to the country’s commitment to cutting-edge cancer screening and treatment capabilities as well as its quality patient care and service.
According to Dr. Aqilah Othman, Consultant Clinical Oncologist at Sunway Medical Centre, cancer screening allows doctors to detect any abnormal growth or lumps in the body. “These may be benign or at a precancerous stage. The removal of these lesions can reduce the risk of them transforming into cancer,” she added.
Alongside a better prognosis, early cancer detection may reduce the need for more intrusive and aggressive therapies. For instance, a tiny and localised tumour may require less invasive treatments or less extensive surgeries, leading to a lower risk of complications and faster recovery. Early detection of the disease could also lessen the need for systemic treatments with possibly more harmful side effects or for prolonged radiation therapy.
Malaysia stands at the forefront in implementing advanced and modern cancer screening tools in order to optimise the treatment quality and patient care. Sunway Medical Centre is equipped with a Digital Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) scanner, for one.
“A Digital PET/CT scanner can support higher quality imaging, which helps nuclear medicine physicians to detect even the tiniest lesions in a patient’s body. On top of that, we also use the M2PK Stool test, which is a visual immunochromatographic rapid test that is used to detect the M2-pyruvate kinase (M2-PK) enzyme in stool samples for colorectal cancer screening,” shared Dr. Heng Siew Peng, General Manager of the Cancer Centre at Sunway Medical Centre.
Malaysia is also home to a first-in-Asia Mediso AnyScan hybrid imaging system. Located in Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara, this hybrid imaging system is capable of carrying out all contemporary nuclear medicine operations, including both PET and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. The machine integrates the characteristics of these two imaging modalities into a single device, providing for a wide range of diagnostic capabilities. This gives medical practitioners extensive information on their patients’ functional and anatomical characteristics as well as assisting in diagnosis and therapy planning.
With top-notch cancer screening tools, Malaysia is able to provide patients with more accurate and precise cancer diagnoses. The location, size and metabolic activity of tumours can all be precisely determined with advanced and modern imaging technologies. This aids medical professionals in developing action plans that can precisely target cancerous cells or particular molecular networks that drive the development and spread of cancer. Understanding a tumour’s molecular profile allows medical professionals to choose the most targeted therapy, improving the likelihood of successful treatment while minimising harm to healthy tissues.
The majority of private hospitals in Malaysia are set up to provide screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care for all cancer-related treatments in one convenient location. Therefore, those who travel for healthcare and need cancer treatment have a lot of discretion in selecting the facility that best suits their needs. Additionally, they are also assured of prompt care and treatment because there is typically little to no waiting time for an appointment.
