The Mission

Kimberly-Clark partnered with IAS and NCSolutions (NCS) to understand how media quality impacts business outcomes — specifically sales lift and return on ad spend (ROAS). With growing interest in attention-based metrics, the brand wanted to validate if IAS Quality Attention™ could translate into improved outcomes across different digital formats.

The Approach

The study was conducted in two parts. Test 1 ran in Q2 2024 and focused solely on browser display media. Test 2, which ran in Q4 2024, expanded to include video and mobile in-app formats. NCS’s Sales Effect methodology was used to compare sales from exposed households to a modeled baseline, isolating the incremental impact of exposure to higher-attention media.

For both tests, IAS segmented impressions by below-average and above-average Quality Attention™ scores, allowing Kimberly-Clark to directly compare sales outcomes between the two.

The Results

In Test 1, limited to browser display, there was no significant difference in sales lift between low and high attention segments. But in Test 2, where display, video, and in-app ads were included, the picture changed dramatically.

Attention scores rose by 36%—from an average of 53 in Test 1 to 72 in Test 2. More importantly, households exposed to above-average attention media in Test 2 saw a 313% higher sales lift than those in the below-average group. The results highlighted how video and in-app formats, when paired with high attention scores, could significantly influence purchase behavior.

KCC_CS_1

Return on ad spend also improved. In both tests, higher attention was correlated with stronger ROAS, but the effect was most pronounced in Test 2. With the addition of high-attention formats, ROAS increased by 78%, reinforcing the link between quality attention and real business outcomes.

KCC_CS_2

Why It Matters

This study demonstrated that attention isn’t just a branding metric — it’s a key indicator of performance. By optimizing toward IAS Quality Attention™, Kimberly-Clark was able to identify high-value inventory, allocate budget more effectively, and drive measurable impact on sales.

If you’re still measuring success by impressions alone, you’re leaving impact on the table. Like Kimberly-Clark, you can turn attention into real business outcomes—higher sales, stronger ROAS, and smarter media investment.

The Challenge

In a landscape challenged by media quality concerns such as viewability, cost per click, and video completion rates, Danone aimed to turn these obstacles into opportunities. Partnering with IAS, the brand wanted to test whether Quality Attention™ pre-bid could automatically identify and target high-quality inventory that would drive measurable improvements in campaign performance — not just attention scores, but real business metrics that matter.

The Approach

Danone conducted a two-phase test for their Activia Yogurt campaign targeting women aged 25-54. Phase 1 (May 20 – June 1) served as a measurement-only baseline to establish attention metrics for their digital ads. Phase 2 (June 2 – July 6) implemented IAS Quality Attention™ pre-bid, focusing programmatic bids on high-attention inventory to enhance audience engagement.

The test measured four critical KPIs: viewability rate, click-through rate, cost per click, and video completion rate. IAS segmented impressions to compare performance and track how pre-bid shifted bidding patterns toward higher-scoring domains.

The Results

The results exceeded all expectations. After activating Quality Attention™ pre-bid, attention levels rose by 56%, with attention scores jumping over 30 points once optimization was applied.

But the real story was in the performance metrics.

Click-through rates increased by an astounding 1,243% while cost per click dropped by 76%—a combination that dramatically improved campaign efficiency. Video completion rates improved by 6.5%, and viewability rates increased by 5.9%. Every single KPI showed significant improvement.

The optimization fundamentally changed how the campaign allocated spend. Post-optimization analysis revealed a definitive shift toward higher attention-scoring inventory, with the system automatically identifying and prioritizing domains that consistently delivered attention scores above 70 — some reaching as high as 94.

Why It Matters

This study proves that attention-based optimization isn’t just about better measurement — it’s about better results. By leveraging IAS Quality Attention™ pre-bid, Danone achieved the holy grail of programmatic advertising: higher engagement at lower cost.

The dramatic improvement in click-through rates combined with reduced costs demonstrates that attention directly correlates with user engagement and campaign efficiency. When you target inventory that genuinely captures user attention, everything else follows: better viewability, higher completion rates, and more cost-effective delivery.
