Measurement

Numbers you can defend to the client.

Every DigiMotive plan ships with a measurement framework — not a post-campaign scramble. Attention metrics, Brand Lift Studies, footfall attribution, closed-loop retail ROAS and third-party viewability all live inside the plan from day one.

The stack

Five measurement disciplines, one framework.

We map the right combination of measurement to the KPI — awareness, consideration, footfall, sale or spec. Every plan names its measurement tools before it goes live.

Adelaide attention

Adelaide attention scoring on every placement — the industry-leading proxy for outcomes that viewability and completion alone can't predict. DigiMotive is an Adelaide partner.

How it works

Brand Lift Studies

Exposed-vs-control methodology that proves awareness, consideration and preference lift — the outcome brand marketers care about.

How it works

Footfall attribution

Device-ID to GPS to store-visit matching — the measurement retail and QSR clients lean on to prove that digital drove physical.

How it works

Closed-loop ROAS

Retailer 1P data flows back to the buy — Landmark, Mumzworld, Sharaf DG, Union Coop and the rest of the 54-retailer network report ROAS per SKU, per audience.

How it works
01 · Adelaide attention

The metric that correlates with outcomes — not just the ones that correlate with delivery.

Viewability and VCR tell you an ad had the chance to be seen. Attention tells you whether it was seen — and for how long.

DigiMotive is a partner of Adelaide, the industry's leading attention measurement vendor. Adelaide's AU (Attention Units) score uses a panel-based modelling approach combined with industry-wide signals — device, format, placement, creative and context — to return an attention score on every placement, benchmarked against category.

Adelaide AU outperforms MRC viewability as a predictor of brand lift across their published book of case studies — and it's the attention standard we run on every SmartView, CTV and programmatic plan that has awareness or consideration as a KPI.

Why attention > viewability

Viewability says

"50% of the ad was on screen for at least 1–2 seconds." Pass/fail on a technical threshold.

Attention says

"The viewer actively looked at this ad for X seconds." A continuous score that correlates with recall and lift.

Adelaide AU is available as a measurement layer on SmartView, programmatic video, CTV and gaming plans. Ask your DigiMotive contact to include it in your next plan.

02 · Brand Lift Studies

Prove the campaign moved the metric that matters.

A four-step deterministic methodology that measures incremental awareness, consideration or preference between an exposed group and a control — the measurement brand marketers and CMOs can defend.

1

Define the outcome

Aided awareness, ad recall, message association, consideration or preference — we pick the question the campaign was designed to move, and write the survey around it before anything goes live.

2

Match exposed vs control

Device-graph matching splits survey responses into two statistically-matched cohorts — one that saw the campaign, one that didn't. Same market, same audience, same time window.

3

Run the survey

Short intercept survey served across publisher network and/or panel — high-fidelity, non-hypothetical questions, MENA-native Arabic-first phrasing where relevant.

4

Report the lift

Percentage-point and relative lift between the two groups, cut by demo, market, creative and placement — so you know not just whether it worked, but which version worked best.

Typical cadence: BLS runs on campaigns with ≥$50k working media and ≥4 weeks in flight. Report lands 2–3 weeks post-campaign end. DigiMotive runs BLS regularly across our book of business — on launches, tentpoles and always-on brand campaigns.

03 · Footfall attribution

Prove digital drove the physical.

For retail, QSR, auto, DXB experiences and anyone else whose conversion happens in a real-world store — a three-step methodology that ties digital exposure to in-store visit.

1

Device ID on exposure

On every exposed impression — SmartView, programmatic display, CTV, video — we capture the hashed, opt-in device identifier of the viewer.

2

Movement tracking

Location SDK data (permission-granted, privacy-safe, GDPR-compliant partners) tracks where that same device moved in the days following exposure, with a matched control cohort.

3

Store match

Geofence every store in the brief. Match device dwell-time against the fence. Report the incremental visit rate between exposed and control — in absolute visits and in lift.

Typical cadence: Footfall report runs on campaigns with ≥10 physical store locations or a single high-traffic location. Minimum 3-week attribution window post-exposure.

04 · Closed-loop retail ROAS

The sale closes inside the retailer — and so does the measurement.

Our 54-retailer network means the impression, click and transaction live in the same data layer. ROAS, CPA and incrementality are computed per SKU, per audience, per placement — and report inside 72 hours of campaign end.

On-site retail media

Sponsored product, sponsored display and banner placements on Landmark, Mumzworld, Sharaf DG, Union Coop and 50+ more — ROAS closes in the same checkout the ad ran next to.

Off-site retail media

Retailer 1P audiences activated on programmatic, social and CTV — with exposure-to-purchase matching closed via the retailer's own transaction log, not a probabilistic model.

Incrementality read

For spends ≥$30k, a control audience is held out at the DSP level so the ROAS number is genuinely incremental — not just last-click-attributed.

Benchmarks

What "good" looks like — our MENA benchmarks per format.

Every DigiMotive plan lands with a benchmark column — drawn from our own book of business across 200+ advertisers. Here are the current 2026 Q1 medians per format.

Format Viewability VTR / VCR CTR Attention Index
SmartView (YouTube) 92%+ 68–78% 0.45% Above category
SmartView (Meta) 96%+ 55–65% 1.2% Above category
WatchIt CTV 100% 95%+ (non-skip) n/a Top quartile
Programmatic Video 85%+ 72%+ 0.8–1.2% On benchmark
Rich Media Display 78%+ n/a 1.8–2.5% Top quartile
Retail Sponsored Product n/a n/a 0.9–1.4% ROAS 4–8×
In-game Rewarded Video 100% 95%+ (forced) n/a Above category

Sustainable digital campaigns

Measure the carbon footprint. Then reduce it.

We're one of the first media partners in the region to price and optimise on the carbon emissions of a digital buy — not just on CPM.

Our sustainable-campaign methodology — the one that won Bronze at MDA 2024 for Du — measures the end-to-end emissions of each placement across ad serving, data transfer, device energy and creative weight, then optimises the mix toward lower-footprint supply without giving up the KPI.

Plan a sustainable campaign

Award-winning sustainable work

Du · "Digital by Cause" · MDA 2024 Bronze

A full-funnel campaign that combined low-carbon supply selection, dynamic creative optimisation for minimum file weight, and CTV bidding on high-efficiency device-maker inventory — delivering the client KPI with a measurably smaller carbon footprint.
