What this book covers
Karen Nelson-Field's 2024 book develops the attention discussion beyond the separate 2020 work. It helps frame questions about what an attention signal measures and how it should influence advertising decisions. For an agency, the practical value is a more demanding conversation about measurement quality before adopting a new buying metric.
Bring it to your work

Reading context
