Newsworks and Lumen
Eye-tracking, according to Lumen, allows us to see “what people actually do, not what they say they do”. By measuring automatic reactions, we can utilise these implicit responses to gain insights into consumer behaviour.
Newsbrands’ trusted quality content engages readers and this impacts how they respond to advertising, whether in print or digital formats. Lumen’s findings build on Newsworks’ own research – The battle for attention demonstrates the power of trusted newsbrands to build a personal connection and ensure that people put time aside for reading. Similarly, The company you keep research shows that the engagement, trust and personal identification that regular readers have with their newsbrand creates a significant context effect across all platforms. Regular readers are “primed” to respond more favourably to advertising due to the strong relationship they have with their chosen newsbrand.
