New York, United States; March 7, 2023 – Adelaide, a leader in attention metrics, has announced the launch of global High Attention Markets in partnership with Google Display & Video 360, Xandr, part of Microsoft Advertising, Magnite (Nasdaq: MGNI), PubMatic (Nasdaq: PUBM), Teads, Sovrn, TRUSTX, and Sharethrough.

This groundbreaking initiative enables advertisers worldwide to programmatically access curated marketplaces of high-attention inventory across nearly 5 trillion monthly impressions in 20+ countries.

Regardless of market, all High Attention Markets are curated using Adelaide’s proprietary Attention Unit (AU), an omnichannel media quality metric that predicts a placement’s probability of driving attention and subsequent impact. AU is generated by a machine learning algorithm trained to proxy full-funnel business outcomes from awareness to sales.

Working with dozens of advertisers, Adelaide has proven that high-AU media delivers 20-80% better performance than standard viewable media. This past year, we conducted a meta-analysis of nearly 40 case studies demonstrating how AU has helped brands achieve an average of 31% upper-funnel and 56% lower-funnel lift compared to traditional metrics.

The first campaigns to use high-attention auction packages by Colgate on PubMatic drove a 40% increase in media quality versus standard media.

The PMPs used for High Attention Markets can be accessed from seats on all major demand-side platforms (DSPs). Additionally, Google Display & Video 360, Xandr, and MediaMath have curated high-AU inventory marketplaces.

Initial channels available include display and online video (OLV). Many SSPs also offer custom high-attention marketplaces with additional audience or contextual configurations.
