Attention beyond views for creative effectiveness

Learn 5 tips to make your creative worth paying attention to.

Great attention measures elevate ads from playback to payback

There is a fundamental difference between whether an ad is just seen or is actually watched. Watching (Passive attention) does not mean engagement (Active attention).

Attention’s role in advertising is heavily influenced by emotion

The platform is another crucial factor when choosing your creative tools, as different contexts demand different content to truly stand out and retain attention.

One size does not fit all, and not all attention is created equal

The platform is another crucial factor when choosing your creative tools, as different contexts demand different content to truly stand out and retain attention.

Don’t make digital videos longer than they need to be

It’s important to find that sweet spot where your ad can retain attention but also convey your message and deliver the creative objective.

Attention is a stepping stone, not the end-goal

Measuring attention for advertising impact becomes more meaningful if it is understood in the light of attitudinal metrics.

Kantar examines how FMCG companies should prepare now that more anti-obesity medications are on the way.​

AI 2030

Insights in the AI Era of Human+

Benchmarking in a time of AI

With AI now in the mix, insights organisations must ask themselves whether research skills are still relevant; what will AI do better and how AI will enable insights professionals to do better as a result. ​

Discover learnings from Kantar’s industry-leading research into the future of insights, Insights 2030, or I2030.​


AI 2030 and Empathy

Empathy means a deeper, more expansive, more compassionate understanding of the lives, aspirations and motivations of consumers. Not just Big Data, but human data.

For insights teams to strengthen and deepen their sense of empathy, there are three AI 2030-related areas that must be benchmarked and enhanced. ​

How well insights professionals manage AI to manage data. The breadth, sophistication and quality of AI tools and data, and how well integrated everything is with business decision-making. Training, exercises and processes to build skills, competencies, thinking and ingenuity when managing AI as a creative research assistant. Not just efficiency, but also originality.

AI and empathy article


AI 2030 and Provocation

Insights must stir things up. Not to be disruptive, but to kindle better conversations leading to smarter outcomes. AI will enable insights teams to do this at speed and at scale.

AI 2030 points to four AI-related things to benchmark, one for each of the competencies of provocation.

Focus commercially:
How well insights teams think in terms of the business not just research.
Embrace dynamism:
How well insights teams immerse themselves in uncertainties.
Speak out:
How well insights teams plumb the fact base that AI has made available to all.
Compel action:
How well insights teams communicate empathy in ways that provoke actions.

AI and provocation article


The House of Insights framework from I2030, with its three critical areas of empathy, provocation and activation, remains relevant in the era of AI. It shows the importance of provocation as the channel by which empathy is activated.

Building a tech brand in the era of brand purpose and sustainability

Sustainability is about showing up where it matters to everyday people, everywhere.

Whether it is Big Tech, emerging technologies such as AI or blockchain, or even more traditional hardware industries, consumers are prone to associate different technology sectors with high energy consumption, lack of energy efficiency, unsustainable sourcing of materials, unsustainable packaging, or relatively high carbon footprint. Consumers’ expectations of tech companies in the space of “showing up where it matters” are often sky high.

To help tech brands identify consumer opportunities, Kantar has launched a special report focusing on how sustainability and tech intersect in 2024 and beyond.

Generational Mindsets Shaping Auto Industry Sustainability

Consumers value sustainability in the automotive market in different ways, based on generation and region.

Millennials and the sustainability divide

Globally, sustainability emerges as a consideration for consumers worldwide when making choices about which kind of car to purchase. 16% of consumers prioritise sustainability as a key factor in their decision-making process. However, this figure varies significantly across regions, and by generations.

Millennials are most likely to put emphasis on sustainability in the automotive market. 20% of Millennials prioritize sustainability when making choices about which car to purchase, compared to 11% of Boomers.

Sustainability areas that matter most

Generationally, consumers recognise certain sustainability practices as being more impactful on their decision making. Gen X exhibits a stronger inclination toward improved air quality (70%) and a reduced carbon footprint (71%). Environmentally conscious Gen Z and Millennial consumers display near-equal value across all sustainability areas, showcasing a more holistic approach to eco-conscious decision-making.
