ATTENTION

Attention is a finite resource and cutting through “the noise” is more difficult than ever. Why is attention so important to all media? It ensures a qualitative reach. Reaching a person with your ad with their full attention, is reaching them in a more meaningful and long-lasting way.  And through attention, all media can be compared in the same way. In research data, cinema scores very high, partly due to the ideal conditions of the medium.
