Attention Marketing 0.0.0.1

🌟 Attention as the Core Asset

Attention is considered the primary asset in marketing, even before products, services, or content, due to its ability to create brand recognition and market opportunities.

📈 Definition of “Day Trading Attention”

This term, coined by Gary Vaynerchuk, refers to the dynamic process of constantly seeking and leveraging new opportunities in consumer attention.

📢 Competition for Attention

In the saturated market, the competition for consumer attention is intense, underscoring the need for effective attention-capture strategies.

1. Subtle Branding and Brand Pulsing

• Avoid overly prominent branding, as it can lead to viewer resistance.
• Use “brand pulsing” to weave brand images unobtrusively throughout an ad, which can increase viewership by as much as 20%​​.

2. Creating Positive Emotional Experiences

• Immediately evoke positive emotions like joy or surprise in your audience.
• Utilize formats like GIFs for quick, emotional messaging.
• Engage the audience right from the start with humor, entertainment, or emotional content​​​​.

3. Building an Emotional Roller Coaster

• Keep viewers engaged with digital video ads by creating emotional ups and downs.
• This approach plays into the human process of adapting and maintains interest over time​​.

4. Balancing Surprise and Shock

• While surprising content can engage viewers, shocking them may inhibit sharing.
• Focus on humor that is ‘pure’ rather than shocking to encourage both viewing and sharing​​.

• These channels are well-suited for holding attention, with CTV providing a captive environment for ads​​.

• Use algorithms for contextual targeting, placing ads based on the environment and content being consumed​​.
