GoogleIntroducing new AI-powered ad solutions to drive demand
Summary
Google AI powers YouTube ads with two new campaign types. Demand Gen campaigns use video and image assets across YouTube, Shorts, Discover, and Gmail to drive action from mid-funnel to purchase, reaching over 3 billion monthly users. Features include lookalike segments for expanding reach beyond existing customers.
Video View campaigns maximize views across in-stream, in-feed, and Shorts, achieving 40% more views than standard in-stream campaigns. Samsung Germany used Video View to increase views and reach by 94% while lowering CPMs.

AppsFlyerMarketing attribution: what it is and how to measure it
Marketing attribution is critical for connecting spend to revenue, but platform self-reporting and last-click bias distort budget decisions. Single-touch models (first/last-click) are simple but miss the full journey; multi-touch models (position-based, data-driven) are more accurate but require robust data. Mobile attribution is particularly challenging due to ATT, SKAdNetwork, and cross-platform gaps, necessitating a mobile measurement partner (MMP) for independent, deduplicated measurement. Clean attribution data is essential for AI-driven optimization—bad signals lead to bad decisions. Starting with position-based attribution and incrementality testing provides a practical foundation.
