    Abstract: Techniques for using attention events for audience expansion are provided. In one technique, first interaction data that indicates multiple interactions by the first entity with multiple content items is stored. The interactions includes an interaction that is based on an amount of time that content within one of the content items was presented to the first entity. Based on the first interaction data, similarity data that identifies one or more content delivery campaigns that are similar to a particular content delivery campaign is generated. Second interaction data that indicates interaction(s) by a second entity with content item(s) is stored. Based on the second interaction data and the similarity data, association data that associates the second entity with the particular content delivery campaign is stored. The association data may be used to identify the particular campaign in response to receiving a content request from a computing device of the second entity.
