Google’s yearly show for advertisers.

Google Marketing Live is the yearly event where Google shows advertisers what is coming to its ads.

In Seoul the theme was where discovery and decisions are made.

Four S’s.

Google described a buyer who no longer moves down a funnel and instead searches, scrolls, streams and shops.

Its answer was an AI Power Pack of three campaign types, AI Max for Search, Performance Max and Demand Gen, with Samsung and DB Insurance telling their results.

Before you build for Google.

Some verticals need Google’s own papers first.

Crypto needs certification and a local licence, dating needs a certificate of its own, and some products are closed everywhere. We say which before you pay.
