Captive Audience Moments<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2502\">Inside a lift or on an escalator, people can\u2019t scroll away, skip, or ignore easily. They\u2019re present and your brand is right in front of them.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"abbtis\" data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2534\">2.
