Adswerve Named North American Partner for Google GIP
Adswerve has been selected as one of a small number of North American partners for Google’s GCS Implementation Partner (GIP) category within the broader Data Strength Partner Program. Building on its prior work in Google’s Data Strength Partner Program (DSPP), Adswerve will help mid-market and enterprise clients modernize first-party data infrastructure by implementing Google Tag Gateway (GTG) and enhanced conversions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Adswerve reports DSPP implementations have yielded conversion uplifts from 9% to 18% using GTG. Google’s GIP introduces a “hands-on shoulder” consulting model that enables partners to guide implementations inside client environments with limited system access to accelerate impact while maintaining security.
Google’s partner designation and GIP consulting model accelerate adoption of server-side first-party data infrastructure (GTG and enhanced conversions) — a high-impact capability for measurement and performance recovery amid signal loss for advertisers and martech stacks.

Digital Turbine Expands AI via Google Cloud Partnership
Digital Turbine announced a deepened partnership with Google Cloud to embed Google’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and Google Cloud infrastructure across its global mobile platform. The collaboration combines Digital Turbine’s proprietary mobile signal assets (Ignite Graph and DT iQ) and scale—technology embedded on more than one billion devices and integrations across 80,000+ apps—with Gemini to deliver AI-powered optimization, recommendations, targeting and real-time decisioning for advertisers and publishers. Company leaders (including Digital Turbine CTO Ben John) framed the integration as embedding AI into the platform’s intelligence layer rather than layering it on top. The initiative is described as operating on a secure, governed AI foundation and builds on Digital Turbine’s recent work with Databricks to unify and operationalize intelligence across its mobile footprint. Miles Ward of Insight is quoted supporting the transformation.
Cadent Embedded in Gemini Enterprise for Audience Activation
Cadent, a predictive advertising company, announced it is one of the first audience-activation platforms embedded in Google’s Gemini Enterprise. The integration gives Gemini Enterprise customers conversational access to Cadent’s advertising intelligence so users can query campaign data and get instant operational answers. Cadent says its specialized language models are paired with Google’s Gemini models and run via Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, built with enterprise controls for privacy and authentication. The company reported initial customer activations began in 2026 and cited performance outcomes from its Google Cloud collaboration (e.g., 200% increase in campaign resolution, 35% ROAS uplift). Quotes in the release came from Cadent and Google Cloud executives.
US Government Excludes Microsoft from Visa Program
The US government has barred Microsoft from participating in the permanent residency process for foreign workers with H-1B visas, accusing the company of abusing the program. Vice President JD Vance stated that Microsoft laid off 6,000 American employees last year while benefiting from 6,300 H-1B visa holders. The Department of Labor, led by Keith Sonderling, will not accept new permanent residency applications from Microsoft, as well as several consulting firms and Adobe. This action comes weeks before the midterm elections and reflects the Trump administration's broader criticism of the H-1B program, which it claims disadvantages American workers. Microsoft has not yet responded. The move could impact the tech industry's ability to retain skilled foreign talent.
