What actually makes someone stop scrolling?

You know the feeling. You’re flying through your social feed at lightning speed, thumb in full auto-mode,  when suddenly something makes you pause. You scroll back up. You look again. Maybe you click. Maybe you share. That split second of attention? That’s gold dust in the world of Social Media Advertising.

So we thought… why not put it to the test?

We’ve selected five completely different images and we want to know which one would genuinely make you stop and scroll back if you saw it on social media.

No overthinking. Just gut instinct.

In a fast-moving feed, that split-second pause is everything. As a creative agency based in Sheffield, we’re always exploring what really grabs attention and your vote will help us (and our clients) create smarter, stronger content, and we may just use the winner in one of our Social Media campaigns.

Take a look below and cast your vote!

We’re intrigued to see which one comes out on top!

Voting is open until the 31st of March 2026, so don’t miss your chance to have your say! VOTE BELOW:
