  • LinkedIn Newsletters Become a Real Ad Format

    What started as a beta in late 2025 is now generally available: LinkedIn Newsletter Ads. Brands can promote their newsletters directly in the feed, in subscriber inboxes, and through Audience Network placements.

    Early benchmarks from B2B advertisers show 28% lower CPL than Sponsored Content — particularly in IT services, fintech and SaaS verticals. The format includes built-in subscribe CTA, content preview, and series pacing controls.

    Operator take: If you’ve been investing in thought-leadership newsletters, this is the cheapest LinkedIn inventory of 2026. Move 10–15% of your LinkedIn budget here as a Q2 test pod. Pair with founder-led posts for compounding effect.

  • PMax Now Surfaces Asset-Level Performance Data

    Google has begun rolling out asset-level performance grouping in Performance Max — finally giving advertisers visibility into which creatives are doing the work inside the model.

    Operator take: Pull asset-level data weekly. Pause Low assets only after 14 days. The model still needs creative diversity to learn — don’t over-prune.

  • Meta CPMs in India Spike +12.4% Week-on-Week

    Pre-IPL retail inventory pressure plus political-category spend is pushing Meta CPMs to a Q2 high across most placements in India. Lookalike audiences are hit hardest.

    Operator take: Tighten lookalike % seeds, push budget to Advantage+ Shopping where retail signals still drive efficiency. Hold off on broad-targeting tests until next month.
