With its unique Attention Score, Adloox introduces a new metric to the market. Over the course of fourteen years dedicated to assessing the quality of digital advertising, we understood that simplicity, transparency, and adherence to industry standards play pivotal roles in effecting changes. Our aspiration with this fresh advertising efficiency metric, currently unparalleled in the market, is to establish it as the industry standard or currency for both advertisers and publishers, ultimately aimed at enhancing the performance of advertising campaigns. Explanations.


Capitalizing on existing measurement features

Adloox, with 14 years of advertising measurement experience, has been developing state-of-the-art proprietary technology to safeguard all stakeholders in the ad industry, including advertisers, agencies, and other buy-side technologies. Our technology protects against the most sophisticated types of ad fraud while ensuring that ads are viewable, impactful, and delivered in a brand-safe environment.

Witnessing the Attention Economy reaching its pinnacle, we started advanced R&D around a new metric using our existing technological expertise. Indeed, within the industry, two methodologies are recognized by the IAB Europe: probabilistic and deterministic. Probabilistic methodologies often rely on limited bespoke panel studies and proxies, which can be derived from eye tracking or facial expression analysis. On the other hand, deterministic methodologies employ proxies derived from engagement and industrial criteria, such as active time-in-view, interaction, scrolling speed, and more. Notably, Adloox Attention Score is constructed using the deterministic approach, assessing the likelihood of attention.


Simplifying advertising measurement and optimization for the years to come

Regardless of campaign budgets, context or objectives, it is essential to grasp the performance of your campaigns and assess message efficiency - you should be able to do it at glance. Adloox offers a solution to bridge this gap between your ad ops and consumer usage with cutting-edge technology and associated tailored reporting, setting a standard for the whole industry.

Adloox's attention score assesses a placement's ability to retain user attention by exclusively using rendered impressions (IVT and unsafe contexts result in a score of 0), measuring the percentage of eligible ad impressions for attention score assessment, and Adloox's ability to gauge the placement's attention-retaining potential.👇

Users can access a wide range of granular data to assess their campaign's attention score by device, ad size, and more. Adloox introduces the MPS to the industry: a Maximum Possible Score (MPS) for each placement type using a methodology that considers maximum values for in-view stride, engagement, and screen share based on prevalent screen resolutions and viewport sizes for both desktop and mobile. This MPS is a key tool for advertisers, allowing them to track the quality of their optimization efforts by observing if they are below both our industry benchmarks and the MPS for each specific format. The optimization goal is to surpass the benchmark and, for specific placements, progressively reach the MPS. Our industry benchmarks, which is compiled from data across all customers and impressions, ensuring a consistent and meaningful basis for comparison.
