Paul D'Arcy reposted thisPaul D'Arcy reposted thisTraditional media plans place CTV under “brand.” This made sense when nobody could tie a living-room impression to an install, but that gap has long been closed. CTV now reaches audiences beyond mobile campaigns, drives installs within a fraction of the time of previous years, and lifts performance channels alongside it like never before. To help bridge the gap between the past and present, we partnered with Singular alongside industry experts to create a new playbook that covers what CTV is worth in a performance mix, what it costs to run, and how to prove the growth it supports.

Paul D'Arcy reposted thisPaul D'Arcy reposted thisHad a blast hosting 30+ senior leaders from GS Retail at our Moloco HQ with Ikkjin and Tom. Atypical to 'corporate-sponsored Silicon Valley tour' where it is often a short prezo and group photo time, the session was packed with insightful and thought-provoking questions on how AI is shaping the future of retail. * How can we enable a personalized experience in physical stores? * Many users who come to our commerce site are 'spearfishing' -- how can AI technology help engage them better to convert them to a loyal customer? * Will GenAI be able to produce creatives that are optimized for each user? More I work in retail media and delve into commerce industry, the more I realize that retail is so complex and multi-dimensional, much more than ROAS or attribution or auction density, which is where our industry spends most of its oxygen. The people who actually run retail are still asking about the shopper. A good reminder that retail media only works when the 'retail' and the 'media' are in harmony, producing a better experience rather than competing for it. Thanks for coming, GS Retail team, and come back anytime! 😉

Paul D'Arcy shared thisThe path from curiosity to purchase is being rewritten by AI. Earlier this year, Moloco and BCG released the AI Disruption Index to understand which industries were most exposed to AI-driven disruption, and which industries had the customer relationships to withstand it. With AI discovery moving so quickly, we were eager to know what had changed just six months later. The new Index made two things clear: AI disruption is moving at incredible speed, but not at the same pace everywhere. And the path from intent to decision is moving faster than most marketers expected. Web traffic is declining most in information-heavy categories, where AI can answer more of the questions that once brought consumers to sites. More transactional categories, like travel, have held up better so far. Apps tell a different story. Across the top 100 apps in each industry, usage has been more resilient, and in every industry in the Index, the share of installs coming from paid acquisition is rising. I spoke about some of these shifts recently at the MMA CEO/CMO event, and they point to a broader takeaway: AI is changing discovery, but the strongest brands will still be those that build direct customer relationships. The web is under more pressure; it’s falling fastest where AI can do the job of the visit. Apps are becoming more important as they make better use of first-party data to enhance customer experience.

A great opportunity to take his free "AI Fluency for Ambitious Marketers" class.Paul D'Arcy shared this650 brilliant marketers have signed up so far, to my (free) course: AI Fluency for Ambitious Marketers. And a good mix of agency / consulting and client-side. Mostly Ireland, but lovely to see groups from New Zealand, the US, UK and Germany. I think you'll like the course. I'm packing it full of useful stuff.

Paul D'Arcy shared thisIt's not often you get a room full of CMOs and CEOs speaking candidly about what’s next for our industry. The MMA CMO + CEO Summit hosted by MMA Global delivered exactly that. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to present at the event where we discussed some of the biggest shifts happening in marketing today. As more consumers rely on AI to navigate the web, discover products, and make decisions, attention is becoming harder to earn and even harder to keep. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, either. AI is uniquely interacting with each brand, so much so that brands in the same category are seeing very different outcomes. Our research with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) points to an important differentiator: the brands pulling ahead are being intentional about how they strengthen and defend their direct relationship with customers. As marketers, we are already experiencing the disruption from AI. It's our job to understand and harness those changes and turn them into unique business advantages.

Paul D'Arcy reposted thisPaul D'Arcy reposted thisWhen your core acquisition channels are delivering, the next challenge is often finding incremental growth without sacrificing performance. For ChillBase, this was CTV. With a less saturated environment than mobile and premium viewer attention, CTV offered access to high-value audiences. Because ChillBase already trusted Moloco’s mobile performance and reporting, they were confident in extending into CTV. The results speak for themselves. In the first month, the campaign exceeded ChillBase's target KPI by nearly 2X. Over the following quarter, the team scaled spend 9X while performance consistently remained above target. What began as an exploratory test has become an established part of ChillBase's user acquisition strategy, with high-value users from CTV serving as a powerful complement to its mobile acquisition efforts.

Paul D'Arcy reposted thisPaul D'Arcy reposted thisWednesday was a busy day here at #CannesLions, the highlight of which was a lively panel at the ADWEEK House on how consumer discovery is reshaping before our eyes. The way consumers traditionally discovered brands was through word of mouth, research, and of course, marketing. They may have searched, compared, scoured reviews, and made an informed decision. Today, LLMs have made it more of an express lane. Consumers can now simply ask a question and receive an answer tailored to their needs - “word of bot,” as one panelist put it. Moloco CMO Paul D'Arcy notes: “Product research is being replaced with product shortlists generated by AI, with the shorter path to a product being the preferred path.” So where does advertising fit in? This shift makes it even more critical for marketers to master the art of both brand and performance, to be a part of the conversation, and to meet their audiences where they are with relevant messages and products that resonate. We extend a huge thank you to Richard Case (GoodRx), Julie Foster (Electronic Arts (EA)), Dan Gardner (Code and Theory), Stacy Wright Malone (Pinterest), Kyle Monson (Codeword), Jane Hendrick (Marriott Hotels), and Liz Kneebone (ADWEEK) for moderating, and to everyone who joined live from Le Majestic. #Moloco #AdWeekHouse #CannesLions2026 #AI

Paul D'Arcy reposted thisPaul D'Arcy reposted thisShareChat’s Quick TV, a fast-growing microdrama app with 60+ million monthly active users in India, had a growth challenge: high drop-off rates between trial sign-ups and paid subscriptions. To tackle it, Quick TV leveraged Moloco’s compound AI system to build a customized optimization approach. This helped them identify users with genuine intent to subscribe, not just intent to try. The Impact? A measurable shift from a quantity-driven approach to a quality-focused growth engine, with real gains in cost efficiency and retention. Curious how they did it?

Paul D'Arcy liked thisPaul D'Arcy liked thisI was slow to see what search would become. Embarrassing in hindsight, and ironic given where I ended up, but there was a time I thought maybe we could just outrun it. I won't make that mistake again, and neither should you. AI answer engines are the rise of search all over again, only faster and with more indirect levers of influence. For any brand working out its "creator strategy," AEO belongs at the core. Ben Jeffries of Influencer made that case well in Fast Company last week. When AI answers "what running shoe should I buy," it isn't simply ranking pages, it's weighing evidence: product data, reviews, community discussions, and the firsthand accounts creators have been building for years. This changes the creator equation yet again. Many of us (h/t Andrew Leonard) have long argued that depth of connection matters as much as, or more than, follower count. AEO adds another dimension: authority within a niche. And strong creator content can keep influencing answers long after a campaign or partnership ends. What this means for brands acting as creators themselves deserves another post. There’s been a lot of recent conversation about impressions following YouTube’s view-count changes. That matters, but perhaps less than we think. If you’re still measuring creator partnerships primarily in impressions, you’re measuring the least durable part of their value. Creators know this; brands should too. Ben has been early and clear on all this for a while. His piece is a smart place to start if you want your brand to earn its way into the answer. https://lnkd.in/g9-vyjiA
