As marketing channels and touchpoints multiply rapidly, the way success is measured significantly impacts long-term growth and executive perception. 

Click-based attribution – across models like last-click, first-click, linear, and time-decay – remains the default. 

But as a standalone measurement strategy, it’s showing its age. 

Click metrics now carry disproportionate weight in executive dashboards, and that reliance introduces real limitations.

Click-based models can still reveal valuable insights into digital engagement. 

However, when the C-suite bases major budget and strategy decisions solely on clicks, they risk overlooking critical aspects of the customer journey – often the very pieces that matter most.

This article examines:

• What click-based attribution actually captures.
• Where click-based measurement breaks down in a multi-channel, multi-device, privacy-first world.
• The business risks of over-indexing on click metrics.
• Measurement approaches that better align marketing with real business outcomes.
• How marketing leaders can guide executives toward more holistic, outcome-oriented frameworks.

The goal isn’t to demonize clicks – they still belong in the toolbox. But they should provide context, not serve as the foundation.

What does click-based attribution actually measure?

Click-based attribution tracks ad clicks and assigns conversion credit to the marketing touchpoints that drove them. 

Models like first-click, last-click, linear, time-decay, and data-driven approaches differ only in how they split that credit across the user journey.

Digital ad platforms and many analytics tools default to click-based models because clicks are relatively easy to capture, understand, and report. 

They’re deterministic, clean, and simple to interpret at a glance.

That cleanliness, however, can be misleading. 

Click-based attribution depends entirely on a user interacting with tracking links or tags. 

If a user doesn’t click, or clicks but converts later or elsewhere, the touchpoint may be missed or misattributed.

This approach can work in a simple, linear funnel. 

But as customer journeys become multi-device, multi-channel, and increasingly offline, clicks lose context quickly.

The problems with solely relying on click-based attribution

Clicks don’t represent real customer behavior

Today’s buyers rarely follow the neat, linear paths that click-based models assume. 

Instead, they move across devices, channels, and even offline touchpoints.

Think social media, LLMs like ChatGPT, and brand exposure from video, influencers, or website content. 

Many of these interactions never generate a tracked click, yet they play a critical role in shaping perception, intent, and eventual conversion.

For example, a buyer may watch a brand’s video on LinkedIn during their morning commute. 

Later, they read a third-party review and skim a few case studies on the brand’s website.

Days later, they type the brand name directly into Google and convert. 

In a click-based model, only the final branded search click receives credit. 

The video, the review, and the content that built trust remain invisible.

These aren’t minor attribution blind spots – they represent a canyon. 

Click-based measurement skews too much toward lower-funnel performance

Click-based models place the most weight on the final click. 

As a result, they often over-index lower-funnel activity from channels like retargeting ads or branded search. 

These channels convert more frequently, but they do not create demand on their own.

For C-level decision-makers, this creates a dangerous bias. 

Dashboards light up for retargeting campaigns and branded search, so budgets flow there.

Mid- and upper-funnel investments – brand building, awareness, content, and influencers – are reduced or cut. 

Over time, the brand’s long-term growth engine is choked in favor of short-term, easily quantifiable wins.

Dig deeper: Marketing attribution models: The pros and cons

Click-based models undervalue creative, messaging, and brand

Not all marketing impact shows up as clicks. 

A video ad or thought-leadership piece may plant a seed without prompting an immediate click, yet the message can linger. 

It may lead to later brand searches or site visits, outcomes that are difficult to capture through click-based measurement.

As a result, brand power, creative messaging, and top-of-funnel reach are underrepresented in click-based models. 

Over time, organizations that optimize solely around click-based attribution may unintentionally deprioritize creativity, brand-building, and long-term equity.

Click-based attribution breaks down in a privacy-first world

We’re moving toward a future where third-party cookies are diminished or gone, privacy rules continue to tighten, and tracking becomes less precise. 

Under these conditions, click tracking grows more difficult, less reliable, and increasingly misaligned.

Without stable identifiers, many of the assumptions behind click-based models – “this click belongs to that user” or “this click led to that conversion” – begin to unravel. 

Attribution becomes a house of cards built on data that may not hold up as privacy and tracking norms continue to shift.

The business risks of over-relying on click-based attribution

Misallocation of budgets

When click-based reporting dominates, budgets tend to flow toward what looks good – the activities that drive visible revenue and deliver clean, direct ROI. 

That often comes at the expense of demand generation efforts that support long-term growth, such as brand campaigns, content, awareness, and other upper-funnel media.

This approach may “work” for a few months or even years. 

Over time, however, the pipeline dries up. 

Awareness declines, organic reach stagnates, and the brand loses its ability to attract new audiences at scale.

Erosion of brand over time

Marketing shifts into a zero-sum exercise focused on extracting conversions from existing demand rather than expanding it. 

Without sustained investment in brand equity and demand generation, competitiveness, brand loyalty, and lifetime value (LTV) suffer.

In essence, optimizing for short-term ROAS puts long-term brand health at risk.

Misaligned incentives across teams

When KPIs are click-based:

• Media teams optimize for clicks.
• Creative teams optimize for click-worthy content.
• Analytics teams optimize for attribution that ties cleanly to conversions. 

The result is marketing silos working toward different objectives.

• Media buys may undermine creative performance. 
• Creative teams may chase cheap clicks. 
• Analytics may mask cannibalization rather than reveal incrementality. 

Fragmentation increases.

Blind trust in platform-reported metrics

Ad platforms and tracking tools report click-based conversions, but many of those conversions are self-crediting, particularly within paid media platforms. 

When you rely heavily on these numbers without scrutiny or connection to the broader user journey, you risk making high-stakes decisions based on biased data.

What to use instead of click-based attribution

If click-based attribution is flawed, how should performance be evaluated? 

The short answer is a combination of approaches grounded in real business outcomes.

Marketing mix modeling (MMM) for channel-level contribution

At a higher level – especially when multiple channels are involved, including online, offline, paid media, organic media, and PR – MMM helps quantify channel-level contribution to sales, revenue, or other business outcomes. 

It looks at broad correlations over time using aggregated data rather than user-level clicks.

MMM, supported by machine learning, improved data resolution, and more frequent refresh cycles, has become more accessible and actionable. 

It isn’t a replacement for click- or site-based data, but a powerful complement. 

Dig deeper: MTA vs. MMM: Which marketing attribution model is right for you?

Multi-touch attribution (MTA), used thoughtfully 

User-level path analysis still has a place when privacy and tracking allow. 

Multi-touch models that consider multiple touchpoints can provide richer insight, but they work best as one input among many rather than a single source of truth. 

They offer path visibility, but without incrementality testing or support from MMM, they still risk over-crediting and bias.

Customer lifecycle metrics: LTV and CAC payback, retention, cohort analysis

Marketing value isn’t confined to a single sale or conversion.

LTV, retention, and long-term value creation matter just as much. 

Tying spend to CAC payback, churn, loyalty, and retention creates a measurement framework aligned with long-term business goals.

Incrementality testing as a standard practice

Incrementality testing measures what marketing actually adds by identifying net-new conversions, revenue, lift, or awareness. 

It separates what would have happened anyway from what your efforts truly drove.

This approach isn’t as clean as click tracking and requires more planning and discipline, but it delivers causality. 

It allows you to say, with confidence, “This spend generated X% incremental lift.”

Dig deeper: Why incrementality is the only metric that proves marketing’s real impact

Attention metrics, quality signals, and creative impact

Not all impact is transactional. 

Upper-funnel signals such as viewability, time-in-view, attention scores, and engagement matter. 

Creative resonance, brand recall, and impact often influence later behavior that never appears as a click.

Looking beyond clicks to metrics like creative recall, brand lift, share of voice, sentiment, and qualitative feedback helps anchor measurement to real brand value and audience expectations.

Building a modern measurement framework

A modern measurement framework isn’t built around one model or metric. 

It brings together complementary methods to create a clearer, more balanced view of performance.

Take a portfolio approach

The most effective measurement frameworks take a portfolio approach. 

MMM, incrementality, multi-touch attribution (when possible), attention metrics, and customer lifecycle metrics work together to triangulate performance from multiple perspectives.

This diversity reduces bias and balances short-term performance with long-term brand health.

It also makes it possible for the C-suite to see more than conversions alone – including impact, growth potential, and sustainable value.

KPIs that reflect real business impact

Executives care about revenue, margin, and growth. Not just clicks. 

Reframe KPIs around the key metrics that matter, such as:

• Revenue.
• Cost per acquisition.
• Customer lifetime value.
• Retention.
• Brand lift.
• Market share.
• Brand sentiment.

Package those into dashboards that tell a story: 

• “Here’s what we did, here’s what grew, here’s what we learned, here’s where we go next.”

Build executive dashboards for outcomes, not vanity metrics

When dashboards lead with vanity metrics like click volume, CTR, or raw conversion rate, insight is limited. Lead instead with business outcomes.

Build narrative-driven dashboards that connect investment to results, learning, and action.

Lean toward data storytelling instead of data reporting. 

That story resonates with executives. It links marketing to business value, not just to marketing activity.

Leverage AI, predictive modeling, and forecasting strategically 

Modern analytics tools – including AI and predictive forecasting – can help:

• Estimate demand.
• Forecast impact.
• Model how different investments may play out over time. 

Use them to simulate scenarios, test assumptions, and support business cases.

These tools aren’t silver bullets. They work best as accelerators for sound strategic thinking. 

Moving away from click-based thinking

Changing how performance is measured doesn’t happen automatically.

It requires clear framing, evidence, and a deliberate transition rather than an abrupt overhaul.

Understand common objections and address them clearly

Often, executives cling to click-based metrics because they’re easy to understand (“one user clicked, we got a sale”) and seemingly real-time. 

They want fast feedback and accountability. Demand creation efforts often feel abstract and hard to justify.

Be prepared to address that directly:

• “Clicks are easy to understand.”
  • Yes. But they paint an incomplete picture. Show them what they miss.
• “We need real-time metrics to manage marketing spend.”
  • That’s valid. But real-time doesn’t always equal real value. Complement with more holistic time-based analyses based on the timing of your sales cycle, incremental lift tests, and periodic MMM to ground real-time decisions.
• “Brand/awareness spend is hard to justify.”
  • I hear you. That’s why you start small. Run test campaigns, measure impact via lift studies, attribution-aware conversion, and lifecycle metrics. Show proof-of-concept.

Implement a gradual shift, don’t overhaul overnight

Click-based attribution doesn’t need to be discarded overnight. Instead:

• Introduce incrementality testing for a small portion of spend to show what budget really contributes.
• Once incrementality proves meaningful lift, allocate more budget toward long-term demand creation efforts.
• Run or commission MMM annually (or semi-annually) to quantify channel contribution holistically.
• Adjust executive dashboards to reflect new KPIs, such as revenue, CAC payback, brand lift, and LTV, and reduce emphasis on mere clicks or last-click conversions.

Over time, incentives begin to shift. Media moves beyond clicks, creative focuses on quality and resonance, and analytics emphasizes causality and long-term value.

Educate the executive team

Executives rarely object to logic – they object to noise. 

Frame your case with clarity and use data. 

Show examples, run tests, show incremental lift, and then build dashboards that tell a clear story.

Once you prove that a dollar invested in brand or top-of-funnel media delivers compounding value over time, leadership hopefully becomes less attracted to short-term click metrics. 

They begin to appreciate marketing as an investment, not a cost center.

Clicks are part of the story, not the whole story

Click-based attribution has served marketing teams for years. It offered a clean way to connect conversions to touchpoints. 

But the landscape has changed. 

• User journeys are longer and messier. 
• Privacy constraints are tighter. 
• Long-term brand value now matters as much as short-term conversions.

For C-level teams, judging performance by clicks alone is like judging a company’s health by heart rate alone. It’s useful, but incomplete.

Modern marketing requires a richer view – one that blends data, causality, business outcomes, and long-term brand building.

As marketing leaders, our job isn’t to chase the next click. 

It’s to build brands that last, drive sustained growth, and help leadership see marketing not as a cost, but as a strategic investment.

Every week, new data highlights both the overlap and the divergence between effective organic search techniques across traditional SEO (Google SERPs) and GEO (ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, etc.). 

It’s a lot to absorb. One week, headlines say traditional SEO tactics work fine for ChatGPT.

The next, you’ll see reports that one platform is elevating Reddit while another is dialing it back.

Given how quickly this landscape shifts, I want to break down the approach, process, and resources my team is using to tackle content in 2026. 

This goes far beyond a content calendar. 

It’s about combining audience understanding, the interplay of organic platforms, and your brand’s perspective to build a content system that delivers real value.

The right approach for valuable content

The emphasis on quality and value in content is good for marketers.

The tenets of E-E-A-T remain central to our approach because they apply to AI search discoverability as much as to traditional SEO. 

Producing strong content still depends on a rich understanding of your audience, good fundamental structures, and solid delivery methods – skills that always matter.

Start with your audience. 

• Who are they? 
• What do they need? 
• What content will help them get there? 

Approach content like any other product or service: 

• Identify a need and address it.
• Understand the emotions involved.
• Show your credentials – including third-party brand mentions, which are a leading factor in AI search visibility. 

Approach content like any other product or service:

• Find or understand a need and address it.
• Know the emotions (i.e., fear, uncertainty, urgency) in play.
• Show your credentials (in the form of authority, expressed in part by third-party brand mentions that are one of the leading factors of AI search visibility traction).

That said, content that has performed well in Google may not work as effectively for LLM search. 

Instead of writing primarily for blue-link SERPs, we now focus on creating content that stands on its own as an authoritative, structured data source, with trust and originality as ranking signals. 

That means prioritizing clarity, factual depth, and a consistent brand perspective that AI models can reliably quote.

In an age of mass AI content, original insights, data, and human perspective are key differentiators, so content systems should include a step for “original proof” – data, interviews, or commentary that make the material uniquely trustworthy.

We’re also thinking more about how content gets used in AI experiences, not just how it’s found. 

Summaries, bullet points, and explainers that answer layered intent are increasingly valuable. 

Incorporating schema, structured data, and a consistent brand voice improves how AI systems read and represent your content. 

In short, the goal is to optimize for retrievability and credibility, not just ranking.

---

Building a process to create valuable content

The content strategy path I like to prescribe is as follows:

• Problem aware: Empathize with your audience by articulating their problem in a clear, differentiated way.
• Solution aware: Present your audience with objective, detailed, valuable options for solutions to their problem.
• Brand aware: Develop your brand’s association as a trusted solution provider.
• Product aware: Position your specific product or service as the ideal solution for the reader’s problem.

Once your research is conducted, you’ll have what you need to craft content and deploy it in multiple ways. 

The linear workflow that persisted for years in traditional SEO, however, must evolve into a modular content engine – one where a single research output fuels multiple media types (articles, YouTube scripts, short-form video, LinkedIn posts, etc.), with platform-native variations all aligned to a central narrative theme.

Resources to use in content development

A few years ago, I would have started with well-known, well-established tools like Ahrefs and Semrush. 

While those remain useful for benchmarking, they no longer represent how people discover or consume information as AI search transforms user behavior in real time. 

AI search abstracts away keywords – users are asking multi-intent questions, and LLMs are generating synthesized answers. 

SEO analysis is now, rather than the main starting point, one piece of the research pie. 

It’s still important, but search optimization is now embedded throughout the content process.

The tools below have been important in the past, and my team still leans on them as part of a more holistic approach to content planning.

Qualitative interviews

Surveys are useful but can be expensive when you’re trying to reach audiences outside your CRM. 

You can still get strong insights by engaging subject matter experts who share the same professional experiences, challenges, and responsibilities as your target audience. 

Slack communities, live or virtual meet-ups, and memberships in organizations like the AMA or ANA can all offer on-the-ground perspectives that support your content mapping.

Audience analysis from AI systems 

It’s critical to include intent analysis from AI tools and conversational search data. 

Understanding how users phrase questions to AI systems can inform structure and tone.

Social media

Not all social media posts are created equal, but understanding your audience includes knowing where your audience likes to engage: X, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, etc. (Not to mention that Reddit citations show up prominently in ChatGPT results.)

Utilize these platforms to gather real-time information on what your audience is discussing and to increase brand mentions, which will send strong signals to ChatGPT and similar tools.

Competitor analysis

Shift from tracking keyword overlap to evaluating content depth, originality, and entity coverage – where your brand’s expertise can fill gaps or improve on generic AI-summarized answers.

Adjust the KPIs to assess the impact of your content

For many years, SEO marketers focused on impressions and clicks, although more advanced practitioners also incorporated down-funnel metrics, such as leads, conversions, pipeline impact, and revenue. 

Today, SEOs must expand their KPIs to include brand mentions in:

• AI summaries.
• Content-assisted conversions.
• Cross-channel engagement depth. 

These are the new indicators of helpfulness and value.

Resist the urge to rest on your laurels

We’ve seen strong successes with AI search visibility that complement our traditional SEO results, but our understanding of best practices continues to evolve with each new round of aggregated data on AI search results and shifting user behavior.

In short, keep a parallel track of what has worked recently and where the trends are heading, since ChatGPT and its competitors are changing user behavior in real time – and with it, the shape of organic discovery across platforms.

According to a report from Sedaily, cited by TrendForce, Samsung Electronics' Device Solutions (DS) Division is in discussions with AMD over manufacturing its chips on Samsung Foundry's second-generation 2 nm process known as SF2P. Samsung's 2 nm technology is competing directly with TSMC's N2 and Intel's 18A, both using the Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor architectures. Industry sources say a decision on moving forward with a formal agreement could come as early as January next year, with actual production being more a matter of "when" rather than "if". As part of the talks, Samsung is expected to run AMD designs through a multi-project wafer (MPW) program in the near term. This would allow both companies to evaluate SF2P's performance and yields before committing to volume manufacturing. The chip involved is believed to be AMD's next-generation EPYC "Venice" server CPU, according to Global Economic News. If the MPW results meet AMD's expectations, sources say it could open the door for AMD to adopt a dual-foundry strategy, pairing Samsung with TSMC. Such a move would not be limited to server products, and could eventually extend to future consumer CPUs, including the "Olympic Ridge" Ryzen lineup.

Separately, the report highlights the AI-focused partnership between Samsung and AMD. Despite Samsung's challenges in entering NVIDIA's HBM supply chain, it has secured a strong position with AMD. Samsung is already supplying HBM3E 12-layer memory for AMD's MI350 accelerators and is considered well positioned for HBM4, which is expected to debut alongside AMD next-generation MI450 products. From Samsung's perspective, adding AMD as a foundry customer would further support its recent recovery. Sedaily notes that Samsung Foundry has picked up momentum after winning orders from major clients such as Tesla and Apple. At the same time, industry sources point to TSMC capacity constraints and rising wafer prices, those factors making Samsung an alternative.

The world's top-performing system for graph processing at scale was built on a commercially available cluster. NVIDIA last month announced a record-breaking benchmark result of 410 trillion traversed edges per second (TEPS), ranking No. 1 on the 31st Graph500 breadth-first search (BFS) list. Performed on an accelerated computing cluster hosted in a CoreWeave data center in Dallas, the winning run used 8,192 NVIDIA H100 GPUs to process a graph with 2.2 trillion vertices and 35 trillion edges. This result is more than double the performance of comparable solutions on the list, including those hosted in national labs.

To put this performance in perspective, say every person on Earth has 150 friends. This would represent 1.2 trillion edges in a graph of social relationships. The level of performance recently achieved by NVIDIA and CoreWeave enables searching through every friend relationship on Earth in just about three milliseconds. Speed at that scale is half the story—the real breakthrough is efficiency. A comparable entry in the top 10 runs of the Graph500 list used about 9,000 nodes, while the winning run from NVIDIA used just over 1,000 nodes, delivering 3x better performance per dollar.

AMD's AIB partners are speaking up as they express more design freedom for their GPUs. According to Sapphire, AMD-exclusive GPU AIB, they are limited in their ability to modify the card and must adhere to chipmaker's official design rules. However, they now want more freedom to make GPUs focus on overclocking, extremely silent operation, and other traits that PC enthusiasts will appreciate. In a Hardware Unboxed interview with Ed Crisler, PR Manager at Sapphire Technology for North America, the AIB has expressed some frustration over their design rule limits.

Sometimes I really wish the chip makers would get out of the way and let us partners just make our cards. Give us the chip. Give us the RAM. Tell us what we have to provide to make it work with the board. And then let us make the cards. Let us have our fun. Let us go nuts. Let there be real differentiation. Sometimes it feels like this market becomes too too much the same.

Samsung is reportedly considering halting its consumer SATA III SSD production lines due to a growing shortage of NAND flash in the supply chain. According to Moore's Law is Dead, industry insiders have been discussing Samsung's potential stop of regular SATA III SSD production. Most NAND flash is being allocated to datacenter customers, such as AI labs and hyperscalers, leaving limited supply for the lower-margin consumer market, including PC gamers and tech enthusiasts. However, this likely only impacts regular SATA III SSDs and not Samsung's popular M.2 PCIe NVMe drives, which have been a consumer favorite for years. Additionally, there are reports that Samsung is converting its NAND flash production lines in Pyeongtaek and Hwaseong to focus on DRAM production. The upcoming Pyeongtaek Fab 4 (P4) is also expected to operate as a DRAM-only facility using Samsung's latest 1c process.

Earlier industry sources suggest that Samsung is becoming cautious about the NAND market, while demand for standard DRAM has surged. This shift makes NAND flash a less attractive segment, causing the entire supply chain to slow down as inventories are depleted. The demand for AI infrastructure has rapidly depleted inventory across the supply chain, and NAND flash is no exception. The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure has led to NAND flash shortages, which could persist for years. It was noted that the price of a 1 Terabit TLC NAND increased from $4.80 in July 2025 to $10.70 in November 2025, marking an increase of over 100% in less than six months. Other types of NAND flash, such as MLC and QLC, have also seen their spot prices more than double.

This season, Google Search and Shopping Ads are expected to surge past $70 billion in holiday spending. But there’s a hidden flaw in the auction system — one most advertisers don’t realize is costing them money even when competitors aren’t in the game.

BrandPilot calls this the Uncontested Google Ads Problem, and it’s becoming one of the most overlooked sources of wasted ad spend in peak retail season.

During SMX Next, John Beresford, Chief Revenue Officer at BrandPilot, unpacked how a little-known behavioral quirk in Google’s auction logic can cause advertisers to overspend on their own brand terms, their Shopping placements, and even their category keywords — simply because Google doesn’t automatically reduce your CPC when competition disappears.

Instead of paying less when you’re the only bidder, you may be paying the same high rate you’d pay when rivals are active… without realizing it.

It’s a phenomenon happening thousands of times a day across major brands, and many marketers never notice it’s occurring.

In his session, Beresford discussed:

• Why “competition gaps” happen far more often than advertisers think.
• How uncontested moments distort CPCs, even on brand keywords.
• What real-time auction visibility makes possible — and why AI is changing the game.

He also shared examples of how advertisers are reclaiming wasted spend and reinvesting it into growth – without sacrificing impression share, traffic, or revenue.

Watch BrandPilot’s session now (for free, no registration required) to learn how to:

• Pinpoint why your CPCs are being artificially inflated when competitors are absent.
• Estimate the true financial impact of the Uncontested Ads Problem across your annual budget.
• Implement AI-driven bidding and suppression strategies that prevent self-bidding and boost ROAS.

If you’re running Google Search or Shopping campaigns this holiday season, you can’t afford to miss this session. Learn how to stop the Google Grinch from stealing your budget — and start turning those savings into real performance gains.

MSI started selling its flagship Socket AM5 motherboard, the MEG X870E GODLIKE X Edition, at an eye-watering $1,300 in the US and approximately €1,200 in the EU (EUR price includes VAT). The board was announced way back in August, and is only now making its way to retail. Various tech publications including TechPowerUp posted reviews of the board over the weekend. Our review can be read here. This board is the absolute pinnacle of connectivity on the AMD platform, providing connectivity and overclocking capabilities that very few other boards offer. Its closes competitors would be the ROG Crosshair X870E Extreme, and the GIGABYTE X870E AORUS Extreme AI Top. Its truckload of connectivity options include 40 Gbps USB4, thirteen 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-A and type-C ports; 10 GbE and 5 GbE wired LAN, Wi-Fi 7, and a very expensive onboard audio solution. More than the actual board, MSI includes an AIC-based M.2 riser, a fan management module, at least half a dozen M.2 slots on board, and a powerful VRM solution to power current and future processors.

Microsoft's Copilot AI chatbot is arguably one of the most controversial add-ons ever implemented in the Windows 11 operating system. However, the controversy doesn't stop at PC operating systems. It seems to extend to TVs as well. According to Reddit user u/defjam16, his LG TV webOS received an update that installed Microsoft's Copilot AI app, with no option to remove it. Although users can choose to ignore it, the push for increased AI integration in everyday products is becoming unavoidable, even on TVs. What exactly can a Copilot AI app do in your TV? We don't know either.

Microsoft is likely promoting its Copilot on TVs to capture more of the AI app market, aiming to become the go-to platform for AI inquiries. Since webOS is a Linux-based TV operating system LG uses, it is also possible that Microsoft is preparing the Copilot AI app for a wider rollout to Linux users, who are now officially commanding a 3% market share among PCs. Other TV operating system platforms are also at "risk" of getting a dedicated Microsoft Copilot AI app, which is especially bad for people not wanting their TV to do any AI processing.

SK Hynix held an internal company meeting, where the company reportedly presented some tough pills to swallow for many gamers. The company now forecasts the tight memory supply to last through 2028 for the commodity DRAM, which includes DDR5/DDR4, GDDR6/GDDR7, and LPDDR5x/LPDDR6. All the aforementioned DRAM variants are essential for PC and console components, making millions of gamers at risk of absorbing a massive price increase as a result. As memory supplier inventories deplete, production capacity will not increase to meet demand as it has in the past. This marks a departure from the usual response by memory manufacturers, who typically ramp up capacity in response to demand.

However, an interesting thing that SK Hynix has noted is that this situation will exclude the company's most advanced memory solutions—HBM and SOCAMM. These products are expected to get an additional capacity expansion, without tight supply impacting this part of the DRAM supply chain. These products are even in high demand as they are mostly consumed in higher volume than the regular commodity DRAM, due to their integration into AI products such as GPUs and servers.

Huawei's next-generation Ascend 950 AI accelerator has been pictured for the first time, showcasing the company's custom silicon and HBM memory. The chip combines Huawei's first self-developed HBM memory with a new generation of AI acceleration. Huawei aims to compete through scale rather than focusing solely on single-chip performance. Although it currently trails NVIDIA in per-chip performance, Huawei's system-scale solutions can still be competitive. The company has announced the Ascend 950 family for early 2026, featuring two variants.

The 950PR model includes 128 GB of in-house HBM with around 1.6 TB/s of bandwidth, while the 950DT model increases memory to 144 GB and boosts bandwidth to nearly 4 TB/s. Both chips target one PetaFLOP of FP8, and two PetaFLOPS of FP4. Huawei's competitive strategy emphasizes dense packaging and aggressive networking, rather than relying solely on raw per-chip performance. We have no information on the node selection, but it will likely be SMIC's newest N+3 node with 5 nm-class features. Chinese SMIC has officially achieved volume production of its newest 5 nm node relying on the deep ultraviolet (DUV) to manufacture its silicon. Since the first customer for N+3 was Huawei with Kirin 9030 SoC, it is only logical that the more important Ascend AI accelerator family is manufactured using the same node.

On episode 334 of PPC Live The Podcast, I speak to Sophie Fell Head of Paid Media at Liberty Marketing Group about a real PPC mistake involving location targeting. The conversation focuses on how small oversights can have big consequences—and how to recover from them professionally.

The PPC F-Up: worldwide location targeting

Sophie accidentally launched a campaign with worldwide location targeting enabled instead of restricting it to the client’s service area. In just a couple of days, the campaign generated around 1,500 leads that looked impressive on paper but were unusable because they came from outside the target locations.

When great results are a warning sign

The unusually strong performance initially looked like a win, but it became a red flag. When Sophie reviewed the campaign more closely, she discovered the location setting issue. This highlights an important PPC lesson: results that look too good should always be investigated, not celebrated blindly.

Handling the client conversation

The client spotted the issue around the same time Sophie did, while she was already preparing to flag it. The situation was handled with honesty—acknowledging the mistake, explaining what happened, and fixing it immediately. Transparency helped preserve trust, even though the client was understandably unhappy.

Why the mistake happened

This wasn’t a lack of knowledge—it came down to moving too quickly and relying on assumed checks rather than confirmed ones. Like many experienced practitioners, Sophie thought the setting had already been reviewed. The experience reinforced how dangerous platform defaults can be.

The long-term outcome

Once corrected, the campaign went on to perform exceptionally well. The client hit their targets six weeks early and exceeded revenue expectations by £3.5 million. The initial mistake didn’t define the outcome—how it was handled did.

What Sophie does differently now

Sophie now checks campaign settings multiple times, both before and after launch. She reviews settings whenever performance spikes or dips and never reports results without rechecking fundamentals. The key change is recognising that post-launch reviews often reveal what pre-launch checks miss.

Advice for when you’ve made a PPC mistake

Sophie’s guidance is simple: pause, investigate, and be honest. Check metrics and settings immediately, take responsibility, explain what went wrong, and clearly outline how you’ll prevent it from happening again. Mistakes become serious problems only when they’re mishandled.

Common PPC mistakes still seen today

Sophie regularly audits accounts that haven’t been updated for years, rely heavily on brand campaigns, or misuse automation like Performance Max. She also sees poor alignment between keywords, ads, and landing pages—fundamentals that still matter, even in AI-driven campaigns.

Why talking about mistakes matters

Many PPC professionals assume industry leaders no longer make mistakes. Sophie challenges that idea. Everyone is still learning, regardless of experience level. Sharing failures helps juniors feel safer, encourages better leadership, and keeps the industry moving forward.

Creating a healthy PPC team culture

A strong team culture allows for testing, learning, and accountability without fear. Sophie emphasises clear testing frameworks, capped budgets, and open conversations. Teams that claim to be mistake-free rarely innovate.

Final takeaway: Always check your settings

Platforms change, defaults evolve, and assumptions fail. Whether performance is soaring or struggling, always verify that campaigns are doing what you think they’re doing. You can’t over-check your settings—but you can definitely under-check them.
