the ad finally moved inside the image. openai plans a limited us test of visual ads during chatgpt image generation, per oct 6 reporting, with new measurement for advertisers.
the prompt is becoming a media buy.
Context
OpenAI introduced a new visual ad format in ChatGPT on October 5. PPC Land and FourWeekMBA say it will first be tested in the US later this month, running while people create images, with an initial group of advertisers.
OpenAI also expanded its measurement partners, and DoubleVerify and Integral Ad Science are developing brand suitability pilots.
The limited US test during image generation and the new measurement match OpenAI's post. The announcement is dated October 5, not October 6.
OpenAI cites a partner finding of 15.3% lower attributed cost per acquisition for one brand. That is a partner figure for one brand.
'The prompt is becoming a media buy' is the author's opinion.
