- Reach is based on conversational context and interest
- A new channel alongside search and social advertising
- Measurable through traffic, leads and conversion tracking
The shift
Decision-making is moving to AI conversations.
People increasingly ask ChatGPT for opinions, comparisons and recommendations before they buy. That behaviour changes where customer attention is — and where advertising has the chance to be useful.
