01

Different discovery environments

Meta advertising is embedded in social content and recommendation systems. ChatGPT Ads sits inside a conversational decision environment. That changes how creative, context and measurement should be interpreted.

02

Creative strategy changes with the environment

ChatGPT ad copy should explain practical value in the current decision context. Social creative may need to earn attention before the user has expressed the problem at all.

03

Measure incrementally

Do not assume a lower CPC or higher CTR means one channel is superior. Evaluate conversion quality, new-customer contribution, profit and the marginal impact of each platform.
