GroupM MENA initiated a brand test campaign with Mindshare MENA over a four-month period leveraging client’s site centric data.

By identifying audiences and delivering tailored creative messages, the campaign reached aware users with specific content and engaged new users with introductory creatives. This strategy drove higher-quality traffic, reduced bounce rates, and increased time spent on the site.

DoubleVerify ensured the ads appeared in brand-safe environments, further enhancing the campaign’s effectiveness.

DV’s Authentic Attention tool is a privacy-friendly data solution that does not rely on persistent cookies, and provides real-time, impression-level insights to measure campaign performance. This tool offers a comprehensive Attention Index, which shows marketers how campaigns perform based on over 50 data points calculated in real time.

The data points fall into one of two broader categories related to exposure and engagement. Exposure measures ad presentation on devices and looks at dimensions such as share-of-screen and time-in-view, while engagement measures interaction with the ad.
