Attention Focused Ad Platform Raises the Bar for Viewability Measurement
NEW YORK – Genesis Media, creators of the industry’s first attention platform, today announced its partnership with Moat, a leading MRC-accredited brand intelligence and analytics company. Through the partnership, Genesis Media’s current and future video ad products will use Moat’s tools to measure and maintain ad viewability, as well as other attention metrics.

- Completion Quality: 83% of video completions are audible and visible upon completion, over 2 times Moat’s Q2 benchmark of 41%.*
- Audible and Visible On Complete (AVOC): 69% of all started views are audible and visible upon completion, 2.25 times greater than Moat’s Q2 benchmark of 31%.*
