Solving The Problem Of The ‘Attention Economy’

Biites is the next generation video and analytics platform. Built from the ground up with transparency and quality as standard, we utilise 1st party data coupled with a best-in-class AI to enhance the user experience, drive deeper brand engagement and create unrivalled performance withinin video distribution.

The year 2022 has been dubbed ‘a defining year for attention’. This focus is deeply needed. Attention has become a scarce resource – a report by Dentsu found only one-third of adverts get the audience’s full attention. Where possible, people will skip ads or look away.

Brands are increasingly fighting for crumbs. The Dentsu report highlights that adverts that are only seen peripherally can be effective. Advertisers seem to be content with this. It’s time for a step-change, not only in how we measure and plan for attention, but also in how brands create strategies with attention at the heart.
