In November, we celebrate World Television Day, dedicated to the theme of ATTENTION this year and highlighting the growing importance of attention also for advertisers. See the idea of this year celebrations in the new TV spot that accompanies World Television Day in 2022.
According to research by Group M, 66% of respondents said they are seeing significantly more advertising these days. A full 53% of respondents feel that ads are repeated too often and 35% of respondents often see ads that are completely irrelevant to them. Research also shows that the attention paid to advertising on social media and the attention paid to advertising on TV is not the same.
The Track the Success study and Karen Nelson-Field’s research reveal that television is the leading medium in terms of audience retention. Attention is therefore a topic that advertisers should pay close attention to if they want their brand to achieve its goals. Inspiration on how to achieve success and what to focus on in advertising from an attention perspective can also be found in the selection below.
On the topic of attention, we’ve also produced the latest article in ScreenVoice magazine, which also features a selection of ads that have stood up well in terms of capturing the attention of the audience.
