When everything pings, nothing lands
We’re living in the era of overload. Every app is buzzing, every chat is “urgent,” and every notification wants a piece of your day. It’s not that people don’t care — it’s that their attention is under siege.
At Blink, we believe attention isn’t something to be taken. It’s something to be guided.
Guided attention means helping every worker — from HQ to the frontline — focus on what actually matters. It’s about communication that feels calm, intentional, and personal. Because when people can focus, work stops feeling chaotic — and starts feeling human again.
Why attention needs a rethink
For years, internal communication has been a volume game. More channels. More updates. More “engagement.”
The result? More noise. When everything feels urgent, nothing feels important. When every message shouts, people stop listening. And when frontline teams feel buried under notifications, engagement doesn’t just dip — it disappears.
That’s why we’re on a mission to unlock the potential of every person, team, and organization starts with something simple: respect for attention.
Guided attention isn’t about saying less. It’s about saying it right — so what reaches people actually resonates.
Turning down the noise: Smarter notifications
We’ve completely re-engineered one of the loudest tools in digital work: the push notification.
With Blink’s new smarter notifications, organizations can reach everyone with precision — not pressure.
- For employees: Freedom to focus. Choose how and when you’re notified — by group, topic, or even Quiet Days when you don’t want to be disturbed.
- For admins: Confidence in control. Guardrails make sure only critical updates break through, building trust (and killing notification fatigue).
- For the organization: More visibility where it matters, fewer mute buttons hit in frustration, and a healthier digital rhythm.
Every ping now carries intent, not interruption.

Guided attention in action
Guided attention doesn’t live in a single feature — it’s the thread that runs through Blink’s entire experience.
Journeys: Focus, sequenced
From onboarding to safety training, some moments deserve structure. Blink Journeys turn chaos into clarity — one step at a time.
No lost emails. No follow-up chases. Just progress that feels effortless.
Because attention thrives on clarity.
Feed: Relevance that earns trust
The Blink news feed isn’t another corporate firehose — it’s curated, contextual, and smart.
Local updates, leadership notes, and frontline ops all in one scrollable space — tailored by role and region.
The result? A feed that feels trusted, not tired, and comms that feel personal, not performative.
Internal comms: Structure over spam
With Blink, communication doesn’t just happen — it’s designed.
Admins can set who can “notify all,” tag posts as “Important,” and define critical groups. Built-in governance keeps communication consistent and credible, especially for safety, compliance, and leadership updates.
Because when governance is baked in, trust follows naturally.
Employee engagement: Insight that amplifies
Guided attention doesn’t stop at delivery. BlinkIQ analytics show which messages land, who’s reading, and where focus fades.
It’s feedback in real time — so you can adjust, refine, and keep comms human.
Modern comms isn’t about shouting louder. It’s about listening smarter.
The science (and soul) behind focus
Here’s the truth: attention is emotional before it’s functional.
People don’t focus because something flashes — they focus because it feels relevant, respectful, and worth their time.
That’s why Blink mirrors how humans actually think and process, not how software does. We balance precision (right message, right time), with autonomy (freedom to choose), and context (so every message feels meaningful).
It’s what we call precision reach — without the noise.
The impact of guided attention
When organizations embrace guided attention, communication stops being background chatter — and starts driving real outcomes.
- Faster operations. Teams act on updates they trust.
- Lower risk. Critical alerts cut through instantly.
- Higher engagement. Employees stay connected because comms respect their focus.
- Stronger culture. Clarity breeds confidence — and confidence builds belonging.
Guided attention isn’t about managing messages. It’s about empowering people.
How to get started
#1. Run a noise audit
Work with your Blink Customer Success Manager to map your notification landscape. What’s truly critical? What’s just clutter?
#2. Publish your notifications playbook
Set your communication standards: what’s “Important,” what’s “FYI,” and who gets to decide.
#3. Encourage personalization
Share Blink’s feature spotlight and comms templates to help employees set their own preferences — because ownership fuels engagement.
#4. Track, learn, and refine
Use BlinkIQ to see what lands. Adjust. Repeat. Build a rhythm that feels intentional — not intrusive.
Guided attention, unlocked
At Blink, we’re not just building tools — we’re reimagining how workplace communication feels.
