The memory industry saw a rollercoaster ride in the past few weeks following the debut of Google's TurboQuant, but the idea of shortages being over is seen as a "misinterpretation", to say the least. Google's TurboQuant Isn't Slowing Down the Memory Supercycle At All; the Demand Will Stay For Several Quarters With DDR prices coming down over the past few days, we did discuss the role of Google's TurboQuant algorithm; however, tying it to the end of memory shortages was a mere misperception, according to The Financial Times' latest report. Following the blog post about TurboQuant, we saw a huge […]

The timing of the Snapdragon X2 Elite could not have been more perfect, as the release of a significantly powerful chipset to take on Apple’s M5 series and x86 CPUs was only matched by how the Windows on ARM platform improved with more native apps available for the operating system. In short, developers are finally recognizing that Qualcomm’s latest and greatest SoC offers a decent footing for them to make the required effort towards optimizing their programs. Unfortunately, in the latest discussion on Reddit, OEMs using Snapdragon X2 Elite in their machines are targeting short-term gains rather than joining hands to […]

Following Microsoft's expensive acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the biggest question mark was whether the latter's most popular product, Call of Duty, would join Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft eventually decided to add new installments starting with 2024's Black Ops 6, developed by Treyarch and Raven Software. Right away, it broke franchise and Game Pass records, but later it became clear it wasn't such a good decision for the franchise. Now, according to Windows Central's Jez Corden, Microsoft might even remove 2026's Call of Duty from Game Pass. Speaking in his latest podcast, Corden said: It'd be interesting to see if they […]

Apple’s biggest test in the foldable smartphone is to address a design problem that none of its competitors have scaled past; the crease. Despite the iPhone Fold being rumored to enter trial production at Foxconn, there have been multiple instances where the California-based giant has been reported to have faced problems and attempted to fix them using a different set of materials. These would not just strengthen the primary inner display but also prevent that crease from materializing. Given that Apple is a company that is under the scrutiny radar more often than its rivals, the longevity of the iPhone […]

Notebooks shipping with elaborate cooling solutions is exactly the path manufacturers should take so customers actually obtain the performance that they’ve paid a premium for. ASUS Zenbook 16 takes the correct approach to properly cool the extremely powerful Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme, and it’s a lesson that Apple could strongly adhere to when introducing its newer MacBook Pro series. Remember, the company’s base M5 MacBook Pro handles all the heat with just a single fan, which is insufficient to tame the SoC. The Zenbook A16 takes it one step further by sporting removable storage, but ASUS still left out some valuable space […]

Maddie Lightening, head of paid media at Hallam, joined me to talk through the mistakes, lessons and mindset shifts that have shaped her career in PPC. With more than a decade of experience across search, social, programmatic, digital out of home and ABM, she shared a candid look at the realities of leading paid media in a fast-moving industry.
One of Maddie’s early mistakes involved misreporting performance due to account currency differences. Working with an Australian billing setup while reporting in GBP, she unknowingly halved the reported results because conversion values were being translated. The issue only surfaced after comparing platform data with CRM figures, revealing that performance was actually twice as strong as reported, highlighting how easily technical setup details can skew results.
A more complex challenge came from a travel client running an outdated, highly granular account structure with thousands of campaigns. While this “2016-style” setup had previously worked, it clashed with modern AI-driven bidding and data consolidation approaches, making it harder to optimize performance and diagnose issues when results began to decline.
Maddie explained that although the team had planned to restructure the account, they delayed it to avoid disrupting peak season. When performance dropped in January, they were forced to make multiple changes quickly, which increased pressure and complexity. In hindsight, starting the restructure earlier would likely have reduced risk, showing that delaying necessary changes can sometimes be more damaging than acting sooner.
As performance declined during a critical period, the client became understandably concerned, especially given how much of their annual budget was tied to peak months. At the same time, audits and internal reviews added pressure, making it one of the most challenging moments of Maddie’s career, but also reinforcing the importance of collaboration, support and staying focused on solutions rather than panic.
One key fix involved regaining control over rising CPCs by applying a max CPC cap through portfolio bidding strategies, even while using automated bidding. This approach reduced CPCs significantly without harming performance, demonstrating that advertisers can still guide AI-driven campaigns by applying the right constraints rather than relying on full automation alone.
Maddie also highlighted a broader industry mistake: refusing to adopt AI altogether. She recalled working at an agency that banned AI tools and automation, which she believes limits growth and puts teams at a disadvantage. Instead of resisting AI, she argues that marketers should learn how to use it strategically while maintaining oversight.
A key takeaway on AI usage is that results depend heavily on input quality. Maddie emphasized that vague prompts produce weak outputs, while detailed context—such as goals, audience and structure—leads to far more useful results. AI should be treated as a support tool that enhances human work, not replaces it.
Maddie stressed the importance of experimentation, encouraging teams to test ideas even when outcomes are uncertain. Her philosophy—“test and learn”—reflects the idea that even unsuccessful experiments provide valuable insights that can inform better decisions in the future.
She also addressed everyday mistakes, such as sending the wrong report to a client, noting that while they may feel serious in the moment, they are usually easy to fix. The key is to take accountability, correct the issue quickly and keep perspective rather than overreacting.
Across all her examples, Maddie reinforced that success in PPC comes from adaptability, continuous learning and a willingness to challenge existing approaches. Whether dealing with account structure, automation or performance issues, the ability to evolve is what separates strong teams from the rest.
Ultimately, Maddie’s experience shows that mistakes, when handled correctly, can lead to stronger strategies and better performance, and that staying curious, proactive and open to change is essential for long-term success in paid media.
You might recall that just two short years ago in February 2024, Disney invested $1.5 billion in Fortnite maker Epic Games, with grand plans to create a persistent Disney universe within Fortnite based on Disney franchises. We've already seen part of this deal bear fruit with the introduction of Disnyeland in Fortnite, and according to a new report from Bloomberg, we're due to get the next fruit in November 2026. And according to the report, it's an incredibly significant release for Epic, because it is meant to mark the beginning of its comeback tour. Epic Games recently laid of 1,000 […]

The foldable smartphone form factor was assumed by many to be the catalyst that succeeds the ‘candy bar’ shape that we’ve grown to own and love. Unfortunately, years have passed since Samsung introduced the Galaxy Fold, and this particular category still hasn’t been able to accumulate the required attention from the mass market. In short, customers aren’t too thrilled about spending thousands on a device that offers the same internal specifications but also has a smaller shelf life due to all the moving parts. Then again, they don’t carry the same iPhone Fold magic, which is why a rumor claims that […]

At GDC 2026, Intel graphics engineer Marissa du Bois took the stage to present Intel's version of neural texture compression, very similar to NVIDIA's NTC in that both technologies are deterministic. The presentation was a follow-up to the original R&D prototype shown at GDC 2025, with the key news being that Intel has now productized that research into a standalone SDK. Texture Set Neural Compression (TSNC) is essentially a smarter way to store game textures. Traditional GPU block compression formats (BC1 through BC7) use fixed mathematical rules to reduce texture size, and while they're fast and universally supported, they leave […]

Google is pushing advertisers toward a more modern, scalable infrastructure for Shopping integrations—bringing new capabilities (including AI tools) directly into scripting workflows.
What’s happening. Google Ads scripts will begin supporting the Merchant API starting April 22nd, as Google prepares to retire the Content API for Shopping on August 18th. The new API will be available as an Advanced API in the scripts editor, while the existing Content API remains usable until its official sunset.
What’s new: The Merchant API introduces a modular architecture, breaking functionality into sub-APIs that allow for faster updates, easier maintenance, and fewer disruptions. It also expands capabilities with features like the Google Product Studio API for generative AI, dedicated APIs for managing product and store reviews, and a Notifications API for real-time updates.
In addition, advertisers gain more control over data management, including supplemental product data, local and regional inventory, and promotions—all within a system designed for omnichannel use while still supporting legacy setups.
Why we care. The Merchant API gives advertisers more a more flexible way to manage product data at scale, especially for complex or omnichannel setups. It also introduces new capabilities—like AI-driven content tools and improved data handling—that can enhance feed quality and performance. Just as importantly, with the Content API being retired, adopting the new system is essential to avoid disruption and stay competitive.
Yes, but. Migration will require some adjustment—especially for advertisers with custom scripts or complex feed setups tied to the legacy API.
Bottom line. For advertisers using scripts, this is an opportunity to upgrade to a more powerful and scalable integration, unlocking new features while future-proofing Shopping workflows before the cutoff.
Dig deeper. Merchant API is coming to Google Ads scripts starting April 22, 2026

As endearing as Samsung is, it has a weird knack for tarnishing its image by artificially gating some features so as to nudge its customer base towards newer offerings.

Google is removing complexity from one of its most important measurement tools. By merging enhanced conversions for web and leads—and allowing multiple data inputs at once—advertisers get more accurate tracking with less setup friction.
What’s happening. Google Ads is consolidating its enhanced conversions features into a unified system with a single on/off toggle. At the same time, it’s eliminating the need to choose a single implementation method.
Advertisers will be able to send user-provided data through multiple channels simultaneously—including website tags, Data Manager, and API integrations. The current split between “enhanced conversions for web” and “enhanced conversions for leads” will disappear.
What’s changing and when: Google Ads is currently accepting user-provided data from website tags (e.g., Google tag, Google Tag Manager), Data Manager, and API connections. This multi-source approach is designed to improve conversion accuracy and bidding performance.
Starting June 2026, enhanced conversions become a single feature with a simple toggle, and method selection (tag vs API, etc.) is removed from the interface.
Why we care. This update makes conversion tracking more accurate and resilient at a time when signals are disappearing. By allowing multiple data sources at once, Google Ads can better match conversions, which can directly improve bidding efficiency and campaign performance. Just as importantly, it removes technical friction—so you get better data without having to choose or maintain a single integration method.
Impact on advertisers. Existing users require no action and will be automatically migrated if customer data terms have already been accepted. New users can enable enhanced conversions at either the account level or individual conversion action level. Opt-out remains available at the conversion action level.
How to enable it (quick take). At the account level, go to Goals → Settings, enable enhanced conversions under Customer data use, and accept data terms. At the conversion level, create or edit a conversion action, enable enhanced conversions during setup, and accept data terms.
Yes, but. To use enhanced conversions, advertisers must agree to Google’s Data Processing Terms and confirm compliance with its policies—an increasingly important step as platforms expand their use of first-party data.
Bottom line. Google is streamlining setup while quietly encouraging broader adoption of user-provided data. For advertisers, this means better performance with less manual setup. You get more complete conversion data feeding into bidding and optimization, without having to manage multiple tracking methods—helping you drive stronger results while simplifying your measurement strategy.

There’s a broad consensus that online reviews — especially Google reviews — should be a top priority for businesses that rely on local customers.
Four of the top 15 ranking factors in Google Maps were related to reviews (quantity, quality, recency, and consistency), according to a recent Whitespark survey. Other surveys report that more than 80% of consumers use Google reviews to evaluate local businesses.
For most of these businesses, the solution is straightforward: ask more customers for reviews, and then reply to those reviews. However, if you work in healthcare, you’ll inevitably find that things aren’t that simple.
From soliciting reviews to responding to reporting fake engagement, medical facilities face unique dilemmas due to ethical standards and federal laws that limit review-related activities. That said, if you understand the obstacles and your options, there’s no reason you can’t be both competitive and compliant in the arena of healthcare reviews.
After working in healthcare for over a decade, I’ll share the biggest obstacles I’ve faced, along with unique solutions.
Years ago, I was assisting a therapist’s small private practice with local SEO. He only had a couple of reviews, so I pointed that out. That’s when he told me he wasn’t even allowed to ask for reviews.
At the time, I was certain he must be mistaken. To my surprise, it was actually part of the code of ethics from the American Psychological Association (APA), which explicitly states therapists and psychologists can’t solicit testimonials from their clients (due to concerns of undue influence).
With that in mind, the lack of reviews was certainly understandable, but it was still a problem for local SEO. And Google doesn’t seem to make any exceptions for the mental health field.
After working with many more clients and employers in the mental health space since, this has proven to be a recurring obstacle. Mental health professionals need visibility on Google the same as any other local business, but one of the best ways to achieve that visibility isn’t even allowed in their field.
The result, unfortunately, is that the practitioners who follow their ethics rules are often those with the least visibility on Google.
The good news is that there are still ways to get reviews without crossing those ethical boundaries — although it might require utilizing some outside-the-box solutions.
A few years ago, I started working with an addiction treatment center that had been doing well with reviews until a new local competitor opened and exceeded both the number of reviews and the average rating in less than one year (despite the client’s nearly 10 years in business).
This competitor was increasingly outperforming them in local search, so something had to be done. However, my client wasn’t sure how they could have received so many reviews without crossing ethical boundaries.
To outpace and keep up with this competitor’s reviews, we needed to secure 50 to 100 reviews and maintain a rate of at least one review per week. The problem was that the client hadn’t received consent from former patients for marketing texts or emails, and they also knew they couldn’t make soliciting reviews a day-to-day part of the clinical staff’s work.
Since the APA ethics rules primarily govern psychologists and clinicians, and because the reasoning behind the APA guidance relates to patients having undue influence, we determined that individuals who opted into alumni engagement and who were no longer in active treatment could be asked for a review (and only by non-clinical staff).
We decided it made more sense to focus on expanding the alumni program rather than facing the review dilemma head-on or in a vacuum because:
So, we enacted the following:
In less than a year, we were able to generate 100 new reviews, outpacing the competitor. The average rating also improved from 4.6 to 4.8, which was also better than the competitor.
In the second year, an additional 100 reviews were gathered, which meant we generated more reviews in two years than the first nine years of business combined.
As of February 2026, the facility is just shy of 500 reviews, still averaging at least one review per week — without crossing any ethical boundaries.
If you want to duplicate this review strategy, here’s the summary:
For third-party agencies and freelancers: If you help a healthcare client with an SMS service or share information about patient identities in any way between a “covered entity” and a third party, there should be a business associate agreement with those third-party vendors.
What not to do when generating reviews:
If you’re a therapist or psychologist who can’t rely on non-clinical staff to request reviews, you aren’t without options. Some other things I’ve had success with include:
In addition to getting reviews, replying to them is also important. While medical businesses can post replies to reviews, the subject matter in their response is regulated.
Merely acknowledging that a reviewer was a patient could be a risk under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) — even if the patient had already revealed as much in their review. That’s because HIPAA only regulates what providers share.
Patients are free to share whatever they like about themselves online, but that doesn’t change the provider’s legal responsibility to protect health information. (One California hospital learned that the hard way in 2013 with a $275,000 settlement after a spokesman commented to the media, stating that a patient’s medical records contradicted their own accusatory Yelp review.)
Generally, you should avoid acknowledging that the reviewer was a patient to remain compliant under HIPAA. Instead:
While not legal advice, here are some example templates I often use when replying to reviews:
Negative review reply template:
Positive review reply template:
Why these work:
You also can’t tell Google whether someone was a patient. This applies when reporting a review as fake engagement — claiming someone “wasn’t a customer” can be risky if you’re a covered entity under HIPAA.
Instead, focus on other types of review violations. One of Google’s review policies regarding “misinformation” can be helpful in the healthcare industry.
Some of the other Google policies that can lead to the successful reporting of healthcare reviews include:
When you report reviews to Google, be sure to:
Healthcare review management can be a compliance exercise, but the good news is you don’t have to choose between compliance and local SEO. You just have to build a review system designed for this industry’s reality:
Done right, you can grow local visibility, protect patient privacy, and sustain review consistency — just like any other industry.
Hi,
Investigations are still ongoing, but it appears that a secondary feature (basically a side API) was compromised for approximately six hours between April 9 and April 10, causing the main website to randomly display malicious links (our signed original files were not compromised). The breach was found and has since been fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience. I did my best to fix that mess as soon as possible :-/

LLMs have become a starting point for nearly everything — work, play, consumerism, health, and more.
But one thing gets overlooked: how they finish answering prompts. They don’t — and that matters.
They operate in a “no, you hang up first” mentality. The prompts we enter don’t just end. LLMs “nudge” us to continue the conversation, offering to take the next step.
“Would you like me to create that travel itinerary for you?” “Would you like me to compare the Nike and New Balance running shoes and tell you which is best for a marathon?”
These nudges make it easy to keep going. Most of the time, I enter “sure” or “sounds good. Thank you,” and move to the next step to see what it provides.
These nudges drive consumer behavior. Where LLMs take us matters.
If you’re a premium brand and the LLM suggests a price comparison, you may not like it, but you need to understand it so you can react.
We analyzed how different LLMs use these nudges across prompts and platforms to understand the patterns shaping user behavior — and what they signal for brands trying to stay in control of the journey.
LLMs provide different types of follow-up suggestions. Overall, 45% of mentions are budget- and deal-related. While not evenly distributed, budgets and deals are treated as the default of what consumers want to see.
Perplexity and ChatGPT are over 60% budgets and deals. Meta is the only one that doesn’t make that assumption at the same level.
The second biggest recommendation type is product comparisons. LLMs offer to compare various products, including financial services products, health treatments, and retail products. All industries see suggestions for comparisons.
Another key point: much of the current thinking urges you to provide LLMs with detailed technical specs. But those make up a small share of these suggestions. That doesn’t mean content lacks ranking value — it does — but it’s not how LLMs usually extend conversations with users.
We also analyzed the dominant nudge style across platforms. Each LLM uses a distinct tone when continuing the conversation. How these systems guide users forward reflects the personalities they present.
| Platform | Dominant nudge style | Key characteristic |
| ChatGPT | “If you want…” | Heavy commerce focus: Primarily nudges toward deals and product comparisons. |
| Microsoft Copilot | “If you tell me…” | Interactive/clarifying: Frequently asks for more user data to refine its recommendation. |
| Google Gemini | “Would you like me…” | Polite and permission-based: Exclusively uses this formal invitation to continue helping. |
| Perplexity | “I can help…” / “If you’d like…” | Service-oriented: Uses more varied phrasing to offer utility and assistance. |
| Meta AI | “Let me know…” | Casual and passive: Primarily nudges toward product comparisons and specs with a less aggressive, “standing by” tone. |
These nudges are designed to keep the conversation going and push users to explore further. They drive consumer behavior and shape the customer journey.
Over time, we’ll be able to better optimize for them as more data becomes available. For now, insights are limited to individual responses, with no way to connect conversations.
The actions to take fall into three buckets, mostly tied to the content you create across onsite and offsite channels:
The LLM landscape will keep evolving quickly as these platforms become the primary interface for consumer research and decision-making. Your priority now is to understand how LLMs talk about your brand and how those conversational nudges affect users.
By analyzing these automated suggestions across platforms like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, organizations can see how consumers are being directed — whether toward budget-friendly alternatives, product comparisons, or technical specifications.
Recognizing these patterns lets you move from passive observation to action, keeping your value proposition clear even when an LLM reframes the conversation around price or competitors.
Tracking this shift is key to maintaining brand authority as AI-driven interactions shape the customer journey.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro are expected to be exclusively mass produced on TSMC’s 2nm ‘N2P’ process, making it yet another year where Qualcomm and Samsung cannot come to terms on becoming partners. To be fair, it’s not the San Diego firm’s fault, as a new report states that even the Korean giant’s 2nm GAA node is running into stability issues, to the point that the technology cannot reach the desired benchmark. These limitations have apparently created a rift between the two companies, preventing them from forming a long-term foundry business. With the […]

Learn how to use Gemini as your personal study partner — from turning messy lecture notes into podcasts to testing your knowledge with custom quizzes.We’re being pushed harder than ever — expected to hit bigger revenue targets with the same or smaller PPC budgets. Even with flat budgets, rising platform costs mean we’re effectively facing a budget cut.
This is the reality of paid media in 2026. But it isn’t all bad news. Efficiency isn’t just about spending less, it’s about spending smarter. Here’s how to find the waste, fix the fundamentals, and get maximum return from every dollar you invest.
Paid media has shifted dramatically over the last few years, with a greater focus on automation, which has led to hidden data. In parallel, businesses are freezing or reducing budgets while expanding revenue targets, and we’re seeing inflation hit CPCs across most industries, with accounts across our portfolio averaging 10% increases year on year, depending on the industry.
With the expansion into AI-driven automation, this has pushed us further into smart bidding strategies, meaning that where CPCs are rising, you have to be clever with the levers you pull to curtail or minimize these increases.
Meanwhile, customers are spreading their attention across more platforms than ever before, switching between screens and devices, and frequently double-screening.
The question for many businesses is no longer “how do we spend more?” but “how do we get maximum return from every dollar we spend?” Getting that answer right starts with an honest look at where money is being lost.
One of the most important (and uncomfortable) truths in paid media is that aggregate metrics hide wasted spend in plain sight.
Common waste zones to investigate include:
Products or keywords that receive spend but generate no conversions are generally loss-making. Before drawing this conclusion, apply impression, click, and spend thresholds to ensure sufficient data.
If a product or keyword has surpassed your target, look to stop spend in these areas. You also want to assess for seasonality and review other contributing factors such as:
Products consistently below your viable ROAS/CPL threshold are often hidden within blended campaign performance. Use performance bucketing, and set more aggressive targets to control spend and CPCs for these areas.
High visibility with low return is a common and costly pattern. Optimize your product feed, and apply more aggressive targets to bring these in line. Again, these products will benefit from implementing product bucketing.
Beyond products, a thorough audit should cover:
AI tools can significantly accelerate this analysis. Feeding your data into a well-prompted model can surface patterns that would take hours to identify manually. AI can also help visualize data more clearly and break it down into manageable, easy-to-understand segments.
When budgets are tight, funnel prioritization becomes critical. Not all spend is equal, and the hierarchy matters.
This is where the highest intent and highest return live. Protect this budget as much as you can, but also assess whether other channels can pick up some of this slack. For example:
For established brands, this is where the majority of the budget will sit, supporting the pipeline. These users have an active need for your product, and you should prioritize appearing for these searches/users. Again, consider the need for paid ads.
Valuable for long-term brand building, but is usually the first area to be trimmed when budgets are under pressure.
You should try to maintain a level of branding, or you end up passing the issues down the road, as you are unable to build a future pipeline. In Google Ads, campaign types like Performance Max allow full-funnel targeting.
Creative is no longer just a brand awareness nice-to-have. It’s directly correlated to campaign success.
Google and Meta campaigns rely heavily on creative variation to test and optimize. Without sufficient variants, the system runs out of testing capability, and performance plateaus over time as frequency increases.
Campaign types such as Performance Max (Google Ads), GMV Max (TikTok), and Advantage+ (Meta) are heavily restricted without sufficient creative. This results in inefficient spending.
AI can support creative production, but strong messaging and strategic clarity still matter most.
Platform attribution has become more fragmented and broken over the years, but many advertisers are unsure how to address this and move forward.
Elements such as cross-device behaviors, iOS privacy changes, consent mode, and GDPR, modeled data, plus the platform’s bias toward claiming conversion credit mean that in-platform numbers should be treated as optimization signals, and not sources of truth.
Using blended metrics gives a cleaner picture of actual efficiency, and can help you establish how your paid media efforts are working:
Building a reliable measurement framework follows a clear sequence: fix your base tracking first, build a blended view of performance, use in-platform data for optimization signals only, and apply incrementality testing when making significant budget decisions.
Incrementality testing allows you to use treatment and holdout groups to clearly establish whether a new campaign or platform launch, for example, has added incremental value.
AI and automation offer real efficiency gains, but only when applied with thought and control. The biggest mistake is automating decisions that require strategic judgment, or removing human oversight from areas where context matters.
Safe to automate:
Keep human oversight:
Scripts for product bucketing are a particularly high-value area of automation. Automatically labeling products based on performance criteria allows for continuous, data-driven management without manual intervention.
PMax works well when you have a strong product feed, sufficient conversion volume, high-quality assets, clear audience signals, an appropriate budget, and effective conversion measurement in place.
Without these conditions, the risks can be high, and can hide troublesome metrics among the averages. This can include:
Get the foundations right before leaning into automation.
Choosing the right bidding strategy matters as much as setting it up correctly:
| Strategy | When to use | Watch out for |
| Target ROAS | 30+ conversions/month with a clear ROAS target | Too high throttles spend; too low creates wasted traffic |
| Target CPA | Lead generation, where dynamic revenue isn’t tracked | Works best with consistent CPA; wrong targets cause delivery to spiral |
| Maximize Conversion Value | When you lack sufficient data to set a ROAS target | No bid ceiling, monitor CPCs and budget closely |
| Maximize Clicks | Upper funnel only, where traffic volume is the goal | Ignores the bottom of the funnel entirely |
If your paid media budget is under pressure, the highest-leverage moves are:
Done well, efficiency can give you a competitive advantage, and it’s available to any team willing to look honestly at where their spend is actually going.
Measurement is the foundation for everything we do in performance marketing. Without accurate measurement, what we recommend, implement, and optimize is, at best, guesswork. Maintaining accurate measurement is more challenging than ever — and getting harder.
Regulatory crackdowns and increased privacy concerns, alongside longer multi-touch journeys, are compounding to create a measurement crisis. Brands still using decade-old tactics won’t be able to overcome modern measurement challenges.
If your brand falls into this category, it’s time to rebuild your measurement foundation — from integrating first-party data (crawl), to creating cross-channel reporting for actionable insights (walk), to advanced media mix modeling (MMM) and incrementality testing for true incremental media lift (run).
Without integration of first-party data into your performance marketing channels, you’re fully reliant on third-party signals. While these metrics can be helpful, they’re surface-level signals and don’t show how channels impact your business goals
The first step is integrating your customer relationship management (CRM) data into your paid media platforms. This includes:
You might be uploading lists today, but integration improves targeting by connecting to up-to-date audience lists for media platform targeting.
For lead gen businesses, the next recommended step is setting up offline conversion tracking (OCT). It shows the bottom-line impact of your media on sales. The integration passes sales data back to the platforms for campaign attribution.
With OCT in place, you can optimize for lower-funnel, higher-quality conversion steps in the sales cycle or even begin optimizing toward revenue to improve your return on ad spend.
Setup is simple. You add a click ID to your form and then pass it from the platform to your CRM. Most of the top CRMs today, like Salesforce, integrate directly with platforms for easy implementation.
To gain momentum from crawl to walk requires a heavier uplift, shifting from client-side tracking to server-side tracking.
Client-side tracking is the default process for passing conversion signals from your website to your media platforms. The user’s web browser sends that signal, allowing for cookie loss, ad blockers, or strict browsers like Safari to muddy the signals and reduce data accuracy.
With server-side tracking, instead of relying on the user’s browser, you use a dedicated tagging server to capture signals from your website and send them directly to the platforms. This bypasses browser-based tracking and relies on your first-party data. It keeps your data accurate and resilient as privacy restrictions increase and cookies disappear.
You have two main integration methods:
How you set up server-side tracking depends on the paid media channels you use, your tech stack, and your integration method. Both options require a dedicated cloud hosting server, which adds cost, but it’s worth it to better understand your media investment.
With a stronger measurement foundation in place, the next step is to break down platform silos and see the full ecosystem.
With server-side tracking in place, you’ve created a clean data pipeline. Last-click and first-click attribution give full credit to the first or final step, ignoring the full-funnel path a user takes.
Platforms offer advanced attribution models, like Google’s data-driven attribution, but they still favor and silo data within their own platforms. For example, a user clicks a Meta ad, then searches and converts on a Google ad. In this case, each platform claims the conversion.
The solution is to use a data warehouse, such as BigQuery or Snowflake, to centralize your data from your website, CRM, and other platforms. From there, you can apply custom logic to build a multi-touch attribution model that stitches your data together using your first-party identifiers to see the full journey and attribute across the ecosystem.
With evolved attribution, a unified reporting dashboard will merge the platform performance data (views, clicks, impressions, etc.) with your integrated first-party conversion data (using server-side tracking and advanced attribution). There are many dashboard builders — the easiest being Looker Studio, as it integrates directly with BigQuery and Snowflake, making it effectively plug-and-play.
With a dashboard in place, you can now visualize the data across the funnel to gain actionable insights into which platforms are driving volume, converting, and impacting your bottom line.
You now have a detailed, day-to-day view of performance of user-level events and insights. But key questions remain.
Understand the full impact of your media investment and tactics at a macro level requires media mix modeling and incrementality testing.
Think of MMM as your compass guiding strategy. It provides a holistic, mathematical source of truth for your paid media investments by measuring the relationship between your media inputs and business outcomes (revenue or leads) over time.
This isn’t a day-to-day tool. You typically use it on a 3-, 6-, or 12-month cycle, depending on your data volume, and it requires 2+ years of data to account for seasonality and promotions. The model then runs a regression analysis to determine the relationship between your inputs and business outcomes.
With MMM, you get channel-agnostic insights that remove platform bias. It helps you answer key questions about diminishing returns, budget allocation, and the impact of upper-funnel investment on revenue. That clarity helps you make smarter decisions for the next quarter, half, or year so your marketing dollars drive maximum impact.
Incrementality testing validates both MMM and your marketing efforts. It measures a single tactic or channel by splitting your audience into two groups: a test group that sees the tactic and a control group that does not. It compares results between the groups, with the difference representing incremental lift.
You can split test and control groups using user-level holdouts, individual-level tracking, or geo-level holdouts when individual tracking isn’t possible. It answers a core question: if a user didn’t see the ad, would they have converted anyway?
This shows the true lift of a specific platform or tactic and helps you decide whether to stop bidding on brand terms for existing customers. It can also calibrate your MMM.
For example, if MMM reports paid social drives $1 million in revenue, but an incrementality test shows lift closer to $500,000, you can feed that back into the MMM to improve future forecasts.
With first-party data integrated through server-side tracking, cross-channel reporting, and custom attribution, you’ve built a strong measurement foundation.
Guided by MMM and validated with incrementality testing, you’re ready to sprint — with a system that helps you make better decisions and clearly show the impact of every investment.

It's also the studio backed by District 9 and Gran Turismo film director Neil Blomkamp (who is listed as its chief creative officer), and last year it also became known as the studio that 'saved' long-running publication Game Informer after it was unceremoniously shuttered by GameStop.

A new memory record has been made by the popular overclocker Saltycroissant and even though the score couldn't achieve the top position, doing it using ambient cooling is insanely impressive. Saltycroissant Pushes DDR5 Memory to 12,917 MT/s on Z890 AORUS Tachyon Duo X ICE Without Nitrogen Cooling This isn't your original Z890 AORUS Tachyon, which overclockers used to break overclocking records with; it's the newer Z890 AORUS Tachyon Duo X ICE, which GIGABYTE released earlier this year. Having seen DDR5 memory world records getting broken every week or two, a new world record doesn't appear surprising to us, except this […]

With limited reviews available, you will hardly hear about the Arc Pro B70's performance. Here's a sneak peek into the analysis by Hardware Luxx. Hardware Luxx Intel Arc Pro B70 Review Reveals GPU's Performance Against Its Competitors Intel's flagship workstation Big Battlemage GPUs were released roughly two weeks ago, but since then, we have hardly seen any reviews for the Arc Pro B65 and the Arc Pro B70.

If Hyperscalers Do Not Spend Money on Memory, There's a Fear Within Them of Getting Behind the Competition We have been tracking the memory supply chain for quite some time now, noting that the supply-demand gap has widened in the past few quarters; however, questions remain about how long we will see such conditions in the memory industry. Following the recent TurboQuant fiasco and the wider selloff within memory companies, there was a […]

Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss recently confirmed it has begun research and development for a possible Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game. According to the tech experts at Digital Foundry, the current generation Nintendo console can likely handle the game at 30 FPS with acceptable image quality thanks to NVIDIA DLSS, but it may be similar to The Witcher 3 Switch port, where some changes were required to get the game running on hardware much weaker than the other consoles of the time -PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As the Xbox Series S is the system closest to the […]
