Today I sit down with Steve Filler, UK Country Manager at ShowHeroes, to unpack one of the most talked-about shifts in advertising right now—attention as a metric, and where it falls short. We get into why attention is really about opportunity, not outcomes, and how pairing it with brand lift and creative strategy is what actually drives results. Steve also shares how CTV is evolving, what’s holding back real-time optimization, and why smarter creative variation—not just better placement—is the next big unlock for marketers.
