Let’s connect and determine the right measurement and attribution solution for your next campaign.

Yes. Captivate can seamlessly measure and extend impact across devices and channels as part of an omnichannel strategy. Through cross‑device solutions, Captivate reinforces campaign messaging throughout the consumer journey and captures downstream demand. Advertisers can retarget exposed viewers across mobile, desktop, tablet, and CTV/OTT, or receive a Device ID passback to activate exposed audiences directly within their DSP. This approach is proven to drive stronger results—campaigns that pair mobile with OOH typically see 4–6x higher brand engagement, boosting both awareness and conversion. Captivate’s attribution partners also make it easy to measure DOOH performance alongside broader omnichannel efforts, validating outcomes such as website visits, app downloads, store traffic, and sales lift.

Yes. Captivate provides third‑party attention metrics through its partnership with Adelaide, the industry leader in attention‑based media quality measurement. Adelaide’s AU (Attention Unit) scores quantify how effectively Captivate placements capture real viewer attention, helping advertisers understand the quality of their exposure and how it contributes to brand outcomes. This added layer of measurement allows marketers to evaluate DOOH performance beyond impressions and validate the true impact of their creative and placements.

Attention to campaigns on Captivate is stronger than most other media channels. Captivate’s high-attention, high-dwell environments mean viewers are more engaged at higher attention rates. Captivate’s AU score outperforms OOH, linear TV, display, social media, transit, podcasts, other DOOH etc. Very few channels (ie: cinema) achieve higher scores than Captivate.
