Existing ad sets are unaffected until January 2015, and migration help is available.

For 2026, brands must adapt in real-time to shifting attention across matches and regions. Adjust's AI-powered attribution and analytics provide the visibility needed to capitalize on these global events.

Without independence, budget allocation and ROAS calculations may reflect agency incentives over actual performance. Key questions: revenue from ads, cross-channel attribution consistency, data governance, and auditable methodology.
