By and large, impressions are becoming less reliable as a currency in the advertising industry. This is partly because, until now, there hadn’t been a way to measure whether or not humans were even watching an ad.
Amplified Intelligence tackled this enduring problem. Its novel solution can tell if a human being is actually gazing upon an advertisement, all through machine learning.
If successful, this technology could greatly enhance the goal of all advertising: attracting people to a brand, having them remember it, and driving business growth.

The brief
The artificial intelligence developed by Amplified Intelligence combines eye-tracking technology with machine learning, innovative research design and marketing theory. The result is highly accurate.
According to the company, this formula not only answers fundamental marketing questions for the first time; it elevates the question of how effective advertising is, allowing brands to look at how an ad’s effectiveness varies in different conditions.

The idea
Amplified Intelligence’s proprietary technology delivers three insights: 'active attention' (meaning eyes on an ad), 'passive attention' (eyes near a screen but not the ad) and 'non-attention' (looking away from the screen).
These can provide granular details about human attention across sectors, be it gaming, mobile, television, audio, cinema or out-of-home.
The results
According to Amplified Intelligence, their product has helped customers develop their best advertising campaigns yet.
Using its data insights, agencies have strategically adjusted their media plans, mitigating waste and increasing its reach. Clients include indie agencies like Hatched and Kaimera, and OMG Australia. Irish National Lottery, the first northern hemisphere brand to buy Amplified Intelligence's AttentionBuy Media Planner product, saw a 35% increase in their attention seconds.
