Abstract
In today's media landscape, where consumers are overloaded with information and have shorter attention spans, digital marketers face significant difficulty in grabbing and holding customers' attention. This research examines how visual attention affects the processing of advertising stimuli. It does this by using eye-tracking technology to determine where branding components should be placed in digital ads to maximize processing efficiency and perceptual salience. The research shows that placing branding features strategically in the top central part of the advertisement can greatly increase visual attention and subsequent recall by analyzing fixation patterns and saccadic behavior. This result is consistent with well-known theories of visual attention, such as the zoom lens model, which holds that processing and memory can be enhanced by focused visual attention. The findings of the study provide marketers with important information on how to maximize the impact of their advertising campaigns by using the principles of visual attention to convey clear, powerful messages in a media landscape that is changing quickly.
