“Work entered into this category should use wit and satire to provide amusement and create memorable, laughter-inducing connections with audiences,” Cannes Lions noted in a statement.

Last year, Google launched Search Labs, a program for people to experiment with and provide feedback on early-stage Google Search experiences. One tool worth paying attention to in light of the increasing popularity of GPTs is Search Generative Experience (SGE). It uses AI to scan the top SERP content and generate a text summary of information at the top of the search results page.

While still in beta in the US, the word on the street is that Google is gearing up to test Search Generative Experience queries for a “small slice” of Chrome users here in the UK. But there’s likely a good reason this one hasn’t come out of Beta - Google probably doesn’t want to give up on a business model it has spent nearly three decades perfecting.

Programmatic advertising — at least the open marketplace part of it — might be turning into the forgotten child of the marketing industry.
Chalk it up to a few reasons: Ad budgets are spread thin across channels these days. That means clients aren’t keen on dishing out enough cash for all the ad tech tools, staff time and commissions needed for programmatic buying.
Plus, they’re already facing challenges with generative AI, burnout from Google’s hurry up and wait (again) cookie deprecation, measurement, inventory and the list goes on.
