The Attention Funnel Explained


The top of the funnel checks if an ad appeared on the screen, even if only a small part of it was visible for a brief moment. Viewability standards determine if an ad meets the minimum requirements to be considered viewable, but these standards can be arbitrary and may not reflect actual viewing. Attention measures if people actively look at the ad.

  • Impressions - Countcount of impressions detected by LAMPLumen tag.tag in the campaign.

  • Measured Impressions - Countcount of impressions with successful attention prediction based on ourthe models.Lumen model.

  • Viewable Impressions - Countcount of impressions where 50% of the adsads' pixels were on screen for at least 1" (display) or 2" (video).

Total

    Viewable Time (Seconds) or Total Viewable Time (Hours) - Sum of the duration when viewable impressions had 50% of the ads pixels on screen (i.e. impressions not reaching 'Viewable' criteria are treated as 0). Viewable duration is capped at 180 seconds for each impression.

  • Total View Time (Seconds)seconds or Total View Time (Hours)hours) - Thethe total duration that ourLumen models predict the ad impressions will have been viewed for. "Viewing" here involves eye gaze on the ad. This metric records the total amount of visual attention the ads received.

  • APMTotal Viewable Time (seconds or hours) - the sum of the duration when viewable impressions had 50% of the ad's pixels on the screen (i.e. impressions not reaching 'Viewable' criteria are treated as 0). Viewable duration is capped at 180 seconds for each impression.

  • Average View Time - the average amount of time an ad was viewed per measured impression.
    Avg. View Time = (Total View Time / Viewed Impressions)

  • View Rate (% Viewed)
    % Viewed = (Viewed Impressions / Measured Impressions)

  • Measured Rate (% Measured)
    % Measured = (Measured Impressions / Impressions)

  • Average Viewable Time (seconds) - the average amount of time an ad was viewable per impression.
    Avg. Viewable Time (Seconds) = (Total Viewable Time (Seconds) / Viewable Impressions)

  • % Viewable 
    % Viewable = (Viewable Impressions / Impressions)

  • Attention Per 1000 Impressions)Impressions (APM) - Aggregatethe aggregate amount of ‘eyes on’ visual attention received per 1000 impressions. 
    APM (Attention Per 1000 Impressions) = (% Viewed * Avg. View Time) * 1000

    Avg.

  • View Time - The average amount of time an ad was viewed per measured impression. Avg. View Time = (Total View Time / Viewed Impressions)

  • % Viewed - % Viewed = (Viewed Impressions / Measured Impressions)

    % Measured - % Measured = (Measured Impressions / Impressions)

    Avg. Viewable Time (Seconds) - The average amount of time an ad was viewable per impression. Avg. Viewable Time (Seconds) = (Total Viewable Time (Seconds) / Viewable Impressions)
