Welcome to the weekend.

 

Our team descended on Minneapolis this week to enjoy some time together in person. We love the benefits of remote work, but it's impossible to connect in the same way virtually. If you are lucky enough to be fully remote we also hope you are lucky enough to spend intentional time together periodically in person!


30s Non-Skippable Ads & Meta Opportunity Score

Meta Opportunity Score Available For All

This launch feels many years overdue in some ways, but should still be an effective tool to help Meta push advertisers towards full ASC adoption.

  • Takeaway: Don't hold your breath on exciting takeaways. If you are in platform daily (or weekly), you aren't likely to find anything juicy here.

Google Drops Support For Some Rich Results

Book Actions, Course Info, Claim Review, Estimated Salary, Learning Video, Special Announcement and Vehicle Listing will be phased out in the coming months to help streamline the search results page.

 

30 Second Non-Skippable YT Ads

Google Ads is testing 30-second non-skippable ads in regular YouTube campaigns. This format, until now, was reserved for premium placements via YouTube Reservation buys.

  • They’re appearing alongside 15-second non-skippable ads and 6-second bumper ads, often bundled in combo formats.

ChatGPT continues to dominate in the generative AI traffic share

ChatGPT continues to dominate in the generative AI traffic share. However, recent reports show that Google in particular is gaining some ground, which is not surprising given that they are best positioned to compete with their dominance in traditional search and wealth of data.

It never hurts to have someone kick the tires. Our paid media audits include high level strategy, campaign-specific settings and everything between!

If you know any businesses that could benefit from better paid media performance, just make an intro — we'll take it from there!

  • $50 for every introduction that leads to a meeting.

  • Up to 50% commission on any deal we sign from your referral.

That's All Folks!

That’s it for this edition of First Impression, hopefully you found some valuable nuggets in here. Feel free to send any feedback and suggestions for future topics our way.
