#PortadaNY: Brands Need to Demand Higher Digital Standards and Choose between Attention and Engagement

#PortadaNY was a great opportunity for attendees to learn about what needs to be done to guarantee brand safety. Susan Schiekofer, Chief Digital Investment Officer of GroupM, provided key insights on the topic. Additionally, Seraj Bharwani, Chief Strategy Officer at AcuityAds, discussed the results of a survey about consumer attention to video advertising done in partnership with Portada. Bharwani stressed that brands want both attention and engagement. But while “you can optimize for one” metric very well, that usually “tanks the other’s results.”
