MediaScience Study Finds Atmosphere Delivers Audiences and Optimal Ad Performance Compared to Linear TV
Atmosphere TV, the leading streaming CTV out-of-home (OOH) platform, has partnered with media and advertising innovation research firm MediaScience to prove Atmosphere captures more attention compared to linear and CTV in OOH environments. The new study used eye tracking technology to measure viewership trends in multi-screen restaurant and bar environments, proving how Atmosphere captivates television audiences outside the living room.
Atmosphere’s ability to deliver CTV OOH performance, has led to 141% year-over-year increase in direct sales, attracting advertisers across diverse categories, such as Bank of America, Brown-Forman Corporation, Corona, HOKA, Hellmann’s, Hershey, Modelo, Pacifico and Tito’s, to the platform. Atmosphere is proving it is a premier environment for delivering ad performance, including a 4.5X average incremental ROAS for alcohol brands, and 34.9% average lift in visit rate for dining partners.

“Atmosphere uniquely combines attention and context in a way that hasn’t happened before,” said Blake Sabatinelli, CEO, Atmosphere TV. “We’re serving up a viewing experience designed for bars, restaurants, gyms and airports that is lighter, less cluttered and more original than linear TV, resulting in a stronger impact for brands.”
Using eye-tracking glasses, the study found that despite multiple TVs and real-life distractions, Atmosphere content garnered more attention than linear TV content during viewing sessions.
Compared to linear TV streaming side-by-side in the same environment:
Atmosphere content garnered 12% more visual attention during viewing sessions.
Participants spent 53% more time visually attending to Atmosphere’s ChiveTV segments than ESPN segments.
Viewers perceived Atmosphere as having fewer ads (+25%), more creative content (+16%), and more unique, original content (+18%) than linear TV, suggesting a more receptive ad environment.
