Reframing the value of mail in the attention economy
In the current attention economy, human exposure to advertising can no long be assumed. It has therefore become more important than ever to quantify the amount of time consumers spend directly engaging with advertising. JICMAIL has embarked on a year long attention measurement program with Kantar, PWC and Lifestream, the results of which completely reframe how marketers should think about the cost-efficiency of the direct mail and door drops compared to other media channels… particularly digital. Join Ian Gibbs – JICMAIL’s Data Director and the DMA’s Insight Director, for an overview of this vital new study for the print industry.
