Misunderstanding Attention in Marketing

Many corporate marketers fail to recognize that they are investing in potential attention rather than actual attention. They rely heavily on outdated reports that may indicate attention in traditional media, such as TV and print ads, without considering where people actually congregate online today. Even though some corporate marketers inherently know the true value of platforms like TikTok, they hesitate to shift their budgets accordingly due to the lack of positive return on investment metrics for these newer mediums. This disconnect reveals a gap between knowing what works in practice versus what is acknowledged in corporate environments.
