The Memory lens analyzes for whether the content will stick. It reads the brain’s inward, reflective processing: the activity tied to relating content to yourself, your memories, and meaning. Attention gets people watching; Memory tells you whether anything stays with them afterward.

​
What it analyzes for

  • How likely the content is to be encoded and remembered.
  • Whether a message is being absorbed or just passing through.
  • The moments most likely to stay with the viewer.

​
When to use it

1

Checking whether a brand moment lands

Read Memory at the logo or tagline reveal to see if the brand beat is actually being absorbed, not just seen.
2

Diagnosing high attention, low recall

A piece that holds Attention but scores low on Memory grabs focus without sticking, so strengthen the payoff or the takeaway.
3

Comparing two ways to deliver a key message

Run both versions and pick the one that drives a stronger Memory read on the line that matters.

​
Reading the score

  • High: the content is being absorbed. It’s likely to be encoded and remembered after the viewer moves on.
  • Low: the content is passing through. People may watch it, but little is staying with them.
