Heineken Combines Attention and Brand Lift Metrics

Heineken is testing a new approach that combines brand lift studies with attention metrics to validate the effectiveness of its display advertising and secure more budget for non-walled-garden channels. Working with GumGum, the brewer uses "Attentive Lift" to overlay brand awareness data from On Device with attention time measurements. A test for the Birra Moretti brand showed an 8% increase in unaided awareness and a 4% increase in familiarity among consumers who viewed ads for more than 2.2 seconds. Heineken's in-house media team plans to use these benchmarks to guide media planning, optimizing for quality of exposure rather than just volume. The method is being adopted across U.K. display campaigns, including for Old Mout. Critics warn against relying solely on attention metrics, but the combination with brand lift is seen as a more balanced approach.

• Heineken is testing 'Attentive Lift' with GumGum, combining brand lift and attention metrics for Birra Moretti and Old Mout campaigns.
• The Birra Moretti test showed an 8% increase in unaided awareness and a 4% increase in familiarity among engaged viewers.
• Heineken's marketing and sales investments account for 10.1% of its €14.84 billion net revenue.
