NEW YORK, December 5, 2023 (Newswire.com) – Infillion, an advanced media buying platform, announced today that it has joined The Attention Council (TAC), a not-for-profit industry trade group that brings together a combination of ad industry professionals, academics, technology and research firms, and marketers to develop insights around the attention economy and promote the use of attention-based metrics across the media and advertising ecosystem.
As a member of TAC, Infillion will be positioned to bring research and learnings from 15 years of developing and deploying attention-based advertising to a consortium of leaders who can collectively have a major impact on the creation and standardization of new ad formats and metrics. Infillion’s premium advertising product, TrueX, was a first mover in attention-based advertising when it pioneered opt-in, interactive ads for streaming video and CTV; users signal their attention by opting to engage with the ad for a minimum amount of time in exchange for skipping normal commercial breaks. Infillion’s attention-based ads have been honored by the ARF David Ogilvy Awards, Digiday Awards, Webby Awards, and more.
“With our membership in The Attention Council, Infillion will be able to contribute to the growing understanding that there are different types of attention, and that the type of attention that is earned is very different from the type that is simply surrendered by viewers,” said Jamie Auslander, senior vice president of research and analytics at Infillion. “Research shows that the advanced and emerging ad products that respect and value consumers’ time, attention, and privacy lead to better outcomes for both publishers and brands, so it’s imperative that we’re a part of the industry-wide conversation.”
TAC was founded in 2019 and counts among its member organizations agencies like OMD, Mediahub, Havas, and Publicis Groupe; brands like Mattel and The Coca-Cola Company; and technology and measurement companies like Snap Inc., TVision, Adelaide, and Yieldmo.
“We’re very excited that Infillion has joined The Attention Council as we further our mission to become the ad industry’s most trusted source for research, expertise and innovation around attention and attention-based metrics,” said Andy Brown, President of The Attention Council. “Their contributions as a longtime leader in this space will be extraordinarily valuable.”
