Full-service media agency combining creative strategy with performance analytics
Attention Arc operates a media agency built on data infrastructure (SQL, Python, Snowflake, Looker, Tableau) powering programmatic strategy and performance optimization. The tech stack reveals an analytics-first culture unusual for traditional media shops—SQL and Python sit alongside DSP tools (DV360, The Trade Desk, Google Campaign Manager 360), suggesting they're moving beyond media buying into data modeling and attribution. Current project focus (programmatic pilots, test-and-learn frameworks, CTV/OTT/audio investment strategies) and hiring deceleration hint at consolidation after the McKinney Media and LWD merger rather than expansion.
