Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Theodora Michail-Clendinnen and Joe Seath took control in July 2026, tightening execution.
  • Venatus and Bidstack’s 2025 partnership expands in-game inventory across six countries.
  • March 2026 Lumen results showed 5x higher attention, strengthening sales against enterprise buyers.

What critics are saying

  • Google Ad Manager and Unity Ads squeeze Venatus on pricing and publisher share.
  • Gaming audience monetization depends on volatile advertiser budgets; a 2027 downturn hits fill rates fast.
  • If publisher inventory quality slips or attention claims soften, Venatus loses its core existential edge.

What makes Venatus unique

  • Venatus owns gaming, sports, and entertainment attention data, reinforced by Lumen Research, March 2026.
  • MediaScale Capital’s July 2026 acquisition gives Venatus capital, scale, and new demand access.
  • TAG-certified brand safety and direct sales across premium immersive inventory distinguish Venatus.

Venatus delivers 5x higher video ad attention by activating audiences "In the Zone"- Lumen Research finds.

Venatus delivers 5x higher video ad attention by activating audiences "In the Zone"- Lumen Research finds. Venatus Media, in partnership with Lumen Research, have announced new analysis of digital media results across video ad campaigns, showing the company delivers up to five times higher attention by activating audiences it finds "In the Zone". The findings reveal the value of audiences "In the Zone", meaning users interacting within high-focus gaming, sports, and entertainment environments where Venatus technology can assess and respond to user mindset, context, and timing. When these conditions converge, Venatus activates messaging to users in a distinct cognitive state characterised by immersion, intentional engagement, and receptivity to video advertising. Independent analysis conducted by Lumen Research, the global attention technology company, measured actual visual attention and confirmed that Venatus formats produce materially stronger attention metrics for advertisers. Specifically, the study found that audiences "In the Zone" * Are nearly twice as likely to view an ad versus benchmark instream formats * Watch ads four times longer: Eight seconds on average versus industry benchmark of two seconds for standard digital video * Generate up to five times higher Attention Per 1,000 Impressions (APM) than standard digital video benchmarks These gains reflect measurable shifts across Lumen's core attention metrics of percentage viewed, average view time, and APM (Attention per Mille), demonstrating that Venatus does not simply reach users within gaming content but reaches them in a fundamentally different cognitive state. "Attention isn't evenly distributed across digital media," said Nick Hugh, CEO of Venatus. "What we first observed in gaming, and have now built into our technology, is that there are environments where attention behaves fundamentally differently than anywhere else on the web. When audiences are 'In the Zone,' attention is sustained rather than interrupted, making each impression inherently more valuable." Mike Follett, CEO of Lumen Research, added: "Our methodology uses eye-tracking to measure the reality of attention to advertising. The Venatus results show attention to advertising is a function of attention to content: the more absorbing the environment, the more attention extends to the ads. High-quality, highly relevant content creates the conditions for high attention, highly effective advertising." The study evaluated performance at a format and environment level, consistent with Lumen's global attention models, which show that attention outcomes are driven primarily by environment and format. Venatus will continue to expand its technology capabilities to further refine how "In the Zone" audiences are identified and activated across premium immersive environments. Lumen. Lumen Research is an eye-tracking technology company that is expanding our understanding of human attention, and helping brands to turn attention into action. The company initially developed patented eye-tracking technology for creative attentio... Powered by PressBox
