Cost Per Second is an incredibly efficient way to purchase media, it aligns the entire media supply chain around capturing authentic consumer attention. We look forward to partnering with Parsec as they bring attention metrics to new mediums.

Managing Director
The Media Kitchen
With Cost Per Second we know that our media dollars are working to capture the right attention, something extremely important when today’s viewable standards are 50% of ad visibility for one second. The Parsec team is committed to a higher form of partnership, enabling us to rethink a media industry slow to evolve and helping my clients understand the considerable value of time spent with their brand and of what more we gain with a time-based approach.
