AI正以前所未有的速度重塑用户获取与消费决策路径。Moloco与BCG的联合研究发现,67%的营销高管预期其所在垂直领域将面临高水平的AI驱动颠覆,且14%的消费者已将聊天机器人作为购物起点,AI摘要导致80%的搜索无点击跳转。这加剧了品牌与终端用户之间的中介化风险,87%的高管担忧品牌可见性下降,但仅50%认为组织已做好应对准备。
不同垂直行业受AI颠覆的程度与客户关系强度差异显著。该研究将行业分为四类:被攻破者(如旅游、电商)面临高颠覆与弱关系,需重建用户忠诚;未防御者(如游戏、社交)尚有时间强化关系;竞争型(如生产力工具)需防御服务替代;稳固型(如金融科技)可将AI作为差异化手段。核心结论是,客户关系始终是抵御AI冲击的持久资产,品牌必须减少对搜索等易被AI替代渠道的依赖。
应对策略上,营销人应优先投资自有平台(尤其是App),通过第一方数据驱动个性化体验与社区生态。研究显示,77%的高管已将强化第一方数据采集列为首要行动,但仍有80%计划增加搜索预算——这可能构成风险。更有效的做法是平衡受损渠道(如付费搜索、程序化展示)与韧性渠道(如App内营销、CRM、零售媒体),利用App的归因分析和端到端控制实现增量提效。
长期来看,AI将迫使营销人从买量思维转向关系经营。通过App构建登录用户体系、整合第一方数据、优化LTV与ROAS测算,品牌才能在AI时代保持用户触达能力。正如DoorDash、Uber等头部企业所示,App不仅是变现载体,更是品牌防御AI颠覆的核心阵地——因为当所有渠道都在被AI重写时,唯有直接拥有用户关系的品牌能存活于下一阶段。
In 2025, non-game apps surpassed games in revenue, with total in-app spending hitting $167B. APAC publishers drove a $2.58B increase in gaming revenue. Short Drama and AI Assistant categories saw explosive growth, while Blinkit, Shopee, and DeepSeek led their sectors. For ad ops, this signals shifting user attention toward lifestyle, commerce, and AI tools, creating new inventory opportunities beyond gaming.
Ramadan drives high mobile engagement in the Gulf, but success hinges on pre-Ramadan acquisition for higher LTV and remarketing during the month. eCommerce peaks early; finance responds to mature market triggers; travel converts at Eid. Post-Ramadan, focus on retention over acquisition to stabilize. AI tools are operational but measurement lags. Key takeaway: plan early, leverage remarketing, and phase strategies by period.
MAMA SF 2025 emphasized that AI is reshaping consumer discovery and purchase behavior, with apps becoming essential owned infrastructure. Key insights for ad ops: measurement integrity is critical as AI automates budget decisions; 30% of campaigns are undervalued by last-touch models. Brands must measure total app value (direct revenue, influenced revenue, operational savings, LTV lift), often 5-6x ROI. AI's practical impact is eliminating friction through automation like natural language queries and AI-powered campaign checks. The marketer's role is evolving to owning end-to-end recommendations.
AI amplifies marketing's fragmentation tax—bad signals across platforms, channels, and tools produce faster wrong decisions. 62% of marketers cite data quality as top barrier to AI success. The fix is not more AI tools but governed signals, AI-ready data architecture (traceable, validated, privacy-compliant), and mobile-grade measurement applied universally. CMOs must prioritize foundation over hype to turn AI from liability into compounding advantage.
Omnichannel analytics unifies customer behavior and campaign performance across mobile, web, CTV, and AI search into one identity, one attribution model, and one ROAS number. The core problem: a single customer seen on three surfaces becomes three users, inflating performance and corrupting attribution, LTV, and retention. Stitching channel reports into one dashboard is not unification—each channel keeps its own attribution logic, so conversions get double-counted and upper-funnel spend looks unproductive. For ad ops leaders, the takeaway is that identity resolution (deterministic plus probabilistic, privacy-safe) must happen at the data layer before any dashboard exists. Platform choice hinges on surface coverage, identity resolution, compliance, incrementality testing, and migration support.
Digital banks grow 50% annually by mastering behavioral segmentation, deep linking, and measurement infrastructure. Traditional banks can recover 15-25% of abandoned onboarding and boost conversion 30-40% using behavioral triggers. Deep linking improves conversion 3-5X by eliminating friction. Measurement infrastructure proves ROI, enabling evidence-based budget shifts. Most banks achieve positive ROI within 30-60 days when implementing these tactics together.
Meta introduces new creator tools for product tagging in posts and Reels, expanding affiliate partnerships with Amazon, eBay, Temu, and others. AI enhances shopping with product info surfacing and one-click checkout via PayPal and Stripe. Retail media gains product set optimization for campaigns, reducing seller cost per purchase by 17%. Product showcase expands to Reels and Stories. These updates aim to reduce friction from discovery to purchase, empowering creator monetization and advertiser performance.
The article argues that the traditional split between brand and performance marketing is outdated. Consumers experience a fluid journey, so marketers must adopt a 'full-funnel' approach, blending both strategies—'brandformance.' TikTok provides tools for targeting, creative, automation, and measurement to execute this. Key insights include using interest-based targeting, Search Ads, creator content, and incrementality testing. The piece emphasizes that brands like Steve Madden succeeded by combining awareness and conversion tactics, proving that integration drives better ROI than siloed efforts.
