Welcome to The ADOTAT Show, where Pesach Lattin takes you beyond the surface of the ad world. Today, he's joined by Mike Follett, CEO of Lumen Research, to talk about the one metric that really matters—attention. Forget viewability, it’s all about whether people are actually paying attention to your ads. Mike’s eye-tracking tech reveals why brands obsessing over impressions are missing the bigger picture.

They’ll dive into why short, frequent exposures beat long, drawn-out campaigns, how attention metrics correlate with brand lift, and why real-time optimization might be the next big thing. Oh, and don’t worry, Pesach will toss in a few fun metaphors along the way (bad relationships, anyone?).

Special thanks to our sponsors! Origin is redefining CTV advertising with their game-changing Slingshot technology, turning passive viewers into active customers. And Troutman Amin is the legal backbone of the adtech world, keeping everything compliant and cutting through the noise.
