OpenAI's Measurement Gaps Keep ChatGPT Ads Budgets at Test Level
Seven months after OpenAI introduced ads in ChatGPT, marketers still face measurement hurdles, as agencies like Accuracast report discrepancies—zero conversions despite form fills and 100 clicks vs. 20 tracked internally—along with 24-36 hour delays and a lack of demographic or prompt data. Legal concerns about OpenAI's terms and data use deter many from enabling conversion tracking, slowing custom audience adoption. Test budgets range from £10,000 to £30,000, with clients spending under $100,000 monthly on ChatGPT versus $10 million on Google. Third-party measurement through partners like AppsFlyer and Adjust is deemed essential, though limited. Meanwhile, DoorDash expands retail media by partnering with Macy's, Timberland, and others, the Trump administration spends millions on pro-Trump ads, Swap Commerce acquires Vizby, and OpenX hires John Rogers as SVP of Global Publisher Development. OpenAI declined to comment.
Mobile Mavens Debate Cloud Gaming Future, Ad-Supported Access
The Mobile Mavens, a panel of gaming industry experts, discuss the current state and future of cloud gaming. Key points include that while the technology works, infrastructure limitations like latency and inconsistent connectivity hinder widespread adoption. Experts highlight rising hardware costs as a potential driver, but note that streaming costs and server capacity issues, exacerbated by AI demand, pose challenges. Ad-supported access, as tested by Microsoft and offered by GeForce NOW, is seen as a promising model to subsidize hardware costs and lower entry barriers. Analysts from Ampere estimate the pure-play cloud gaming market at $620M in 2025. The panel debates whether cloud gaming will replace consoles or become a complementary layer, with some seeing usage limits as a sign of economic strain.
MNTN Integrates AppsFlyer for CTV-to-App Attribution
MNTN, a Connected TV advertising platform, announced an expanded integration with AppsFlyer, a mobile marketing analytics company. This integration enables advertisers to measure the performance of their TV campaigns by connecting TV ad exposure to mobile in-app actions such as app installs, purchases, and sign-ups. The two-way data flow allows TV impressions to be sent to AppsFlyer and in-app events to be fed back into MNTN's optimization engine. This closes a significant measurement gap for mobile marketers and allows them to treat Connected TV as a performance channel, optimizing toward business outcomes.
