### ChatGPT Ads Testing
Most advertisers should not invest in ChatGPT Ads yet. OpenAI started testing ads in ChatGPT in January 2026, but there is no public buying platform, no performance benchmarks, and ads are limited to free-tier US users. Startups under $10K/month ad spend should ignore it entirely. Scale-ups ($50K-200K/month) should monitor and reserve experimental budget. Enterprise brands should include it in 2026-2027 channel planning.

### Mobile Attribution in 2026: Beyond the MMP
Most brands spending primarily on Google and Meta no longer need a paid MMP. Post-ATT, with IDFA opt-in rates between 15-30%, MMPs lost deterministic iOS attribution. Firebase ($0) replaces MMP for Google Ads. Meta's SDK + Conversions API handles Meta attribution directly. An MMP is still worth it if over 30% of budget goes to programmatic or you need cross-channel deduplication.

### Retail Media Fragmentation in LATAM
Retail media in Latin America is a "data toll" — brands pay each retailer separately with no unified measurement. Mercado Ads, Rappi, Falabella, and Cencosud each build walled gardens with duplicated attribution. The solution: stop measuring platform ROAS, start measuring Incrementality with Holdout tests, and implement MER (Marketing Efficiency Ratio) to detect when you're buying traffic you already had.

### ChatGPT Ads: The Rise of Answer Engine Marketing (AEM)
The advertising ecosystem is shifting from keyword matching to contextual assistance. ChatGPT Ads introduces a logic where ads integrate as authoritative sources within AI-generated answers. LATAM deployment is expected towards end of 2026. The reigning metric won't be CTR but Recommendation Rate — brands will pay to be in the AI's "Top 3 suggested solutions." Impact should be measured through incrementality models, not just direct traffic.

### Marketing Mix Modeling Guide
Marketing Mix Models are powerful but may not be directly applicable to every team without adaptation. Brand-level MMMs lack the granularity needed for specific market segments — "Google Ads drives more sales than TV" doesn't help a paid media team optimize campaigns. The Zenda team recommends segmented analysis by geography/demographics, granular data collection, and per-tactic deep dives.
