The human attention span is only eight seconds…and dropping. So, how do we ensure content is resonating with our audiences? The answer is simple: storytelling. Storytelling is the science of sustained attention. Great stories release a rush of chemicals in the brain: Oxytocin helps us plug into our audience, while cortisol creates ongoing engagement and dopamine generates emotion, inspiring our audience to take action or change behavior. At Spectrum, we bring a little bit of Hollywood to healthcare. We apply the science of storytelling to transform corporate and brand communications into compelling narratives that drive meaningful action. Together, we can engage your audiences and tell your greatest stories not yet told.
Data-driven, performance-proven. Spectrum utilizes paid media to grab targeted attention, harness it into brand experiences and exceed business goals. Through a multifaceted intermedia planning process, we create a connected media experience across the key inflection points in an audience’s journey to match the right media channels, tactics and partners to client budget and goals. Our expert in-house media planners, optimizers and ad tech specialists ensure that every advertising dollar spent is maximized. Fueled by Galileo6, our proprietary insights and optimization engine, we put the power of audience research, AI and advanced analytics in your hands to empower every facet of the paid media process—from discovery and planning to activation and measurement.
