INNOVATIVE AD STRATEGIES
Google’s Performance Max updates provide marketers with in-campaign asset AB testing, support for up to 10,000 negative keywords, and a comprehensive Search Terms Report—transforming campaign optimization and control. These features are essential for eCommerce professionals seeking granular campaign management and actionable data-driven decision-making.
DIGITAL AD PREFERENCES
Adobe’s survey reveals that UK audiences are more skeptical of influencers and less responsive to emotional ads compared to the US, yet video remains the most effective ad format in both markets. US consumers have a higher propensity to act immediately on ads, while ad blockers are primarily used to minimize pop-ups. Marketers targeting these regions should prioritize video content and humor, and adjust influencer and emotional messaging based on regional trust levels.
