Paid Attention examines why traditional advertising struggles in a world where content is abundant but human attention is limited. Faris Yakob explores the psychology of attention, the unconscious influences behind consumer decisions, and the ways brands create meaning. He challenges the assumption that buying media exposure or producing more advertising automatically leads to stronger customer relationships or commercial results.

Drawing on advertising research, behavioral psychology, and communication theory, Yakob explains why brands must move beyond messages to create actions, experiences, and ideas worth sharing. He examines how creativity emerges from combining existing ideas, how social interactions influence brand perception, and why marketing requires an integrated approach to media and strategy. Listeners gain a clearer understanding of how to plan communication that earns attention and influences behavior.
