“DoubleVerify is ubiquitous in the advertising ecosystem and is well-positioned to drive actionable, attention-based measurement,” said Slotwiner. “I am excited to take DV’s Attention solutions to the next level and help drive campaign performance for brands and agencies, while being part of a dynamic and growing team at DV.”

Traditional KPIs like viewability and clicks fail to determine an ad’s impact on viewers, while regulatory changes and the deprecation of personal identifiers are challenging existing audience targeting methods. To address these issues, advertisers are turning to attention metrics as a means to gauge ad presentation, user engagement and campaign performance.

In his new role, Daniel will also lead the DV Attention Lab™ – a multidisciplinary team consisting of data scientists, product experts, and marketing analysts tasked with providing advertisers with sophisticated, attention-based insights and recommendations on campaign performance, and promulgating industry benchmark reports, best practice guides, illustrative case studies, and more.

“We launched the DV Attention Lab™ with the goal of helping advertisers unlock actionable attention data to maximize campaign performance,” Zagorski continued. “Daniel is also well positioned to lead the DV Attention Lab™ and develop attention-based measurement insights and research to inform campaign optimization strategies for the global brands DV serves.”

DV Attention Lab™ launched in October of 2022 and is powered by DV Authentic Attention – an MRC-accredited, performance solution that analyzes over 50 data points on a digital ad’s exposure and the consumer’s engagement with a digital ad and device – in real time. DV Authentic Attention assesses an ad’s entire presentation for exposure, quantifying its intensity and prominence through metrics like viewable time, share of screen, video presentation, audibility, and more. For engagement, DV Authentic Attention examines key user-initiated events that occur while the ad creative is displayed, including user touches, screen orientation, video playback, and audio control interactions.
