What we study

Physical attention is only useful when it moves the buyer forward.

Our work focuses on the complete path: choosing the right account, earning the first look, making the message relevant, creating a measurable response and connecting that response to pipeline.

Recognition earns the first look.

Yotru's existing research frames personalization as two jobs: recognition gets the first few seconds of attention; relevance has to make those seconds worth something.
