Great to see that Performance Marketing World picked up Mike's comment as their quote of the week! At Lumen Research we are about improving action and outcomes, and we happen to do that by optimising towards real human attention. As Mike said “I don’t think attention is a performance metric – it’s a means to an end. It helps you work out which ads are going to get looked at and which are going to get ignored… but at the end of the day, the real objective [of attention] is to drive sales.” #attentionandoutcomes #advertising #marketing

"Advertising is ignored as an irritating distraction when people have a task to complete, but can be entertaining and engaging if they have more time to spare. Choose when to talk to people with care" Read more from Mike Follett, CEO, at Lumen about the important balance of context, relevance, and timing with advertising ⤵ #marketingandadvertising #advertising #media
CEO at Lumen Research, the eye-tracking technology company - turn attention into action.
"I am myself plus my circumstances." This phrase from the Spanish philosopher Ortega y Gasset perfectly captures the complex relationship between people and the world around them. It’s also a powerful lens for understanding how consumers engage with advertising today. At Lumen Research, we know attention isn’t just about great creative or well-placed media - it’s about the dynamic interplay between the person and their context. Ortega reminds us that consumers aren’t passive recipients of ads. Their personal history (the "I") - their preferences, experiences, and values - shapes how they process advertising. But so do their "circumstances" - the platform, the timing, even the cultural moment in which the ad appears. To truly capture attention and drive behavior, advertisers need to embrace both. Here are three practical implications for advertisers: 1️⃣ Relevance is key: Ads should reflect the consumer’s "I." Use data to tailor messages that align with their preferences, history, and aspirations. This is how you create relevance and resonance. 2️⃣ Context matters: The "circumstances" in which ads appear influence attention. A brilliantly targeted ad will fail if delivered in the wrong place or at the wrong moment. Ads must fit their environment - as Lumen Research's clients at Seedtag have repeatedly found. 3️⃣ Perception and purposes: People literally see the world differently according to their aims and objectives. Advertising is ignored as an irritating distraction when people have a task to complete, but can be entertaining and engaging if they have more time to spare. Choose when to talk to people with care. The lesson? Attention isn’t about targeting or placement in isolation. It’s about harmony between the "I" and the "circumstances." When advertisers understand this, they stop interrupting and start connecting. What do you think? How do you see the interplay of personal identity and context shaping the future of advertising? Let’s discuss! Mercedes Riofrio Jana Eisenstein Nick Timms Andrés Auchterlonie Jordi Capdevila Espitia Donia Baddou Ena Vujatovic Tanwa Edu Jean-Paul Edwards
