Six months with ChatGPT Ads: What we’ve learned so far

DEPT® was part of OpenAI’s early US advertising pilot and has since been running ChatGPT Ads for clients including Lumen Technologies.

That experience has given us a head start – and one lesson stands out: don’t treat ChatGPT Ads as another standalone media channel.

People are using ChatGPT to discover products, understand their options and compare brands, often before they search on Google or visit a website. The real opportunity is connecting those conversations with GEO, paid search and the rest of the customer journey.

In this masterclass, Molly Deaville, VP Media at DEPT®, will share what we’ve learned over the past six months and how European brands can get started quickly.

What you’ll learn:

  • Lessons from six months of running ChatGPT Ads for global brands
  • Where ChatGPT Ads fit in the customer journey
  • How to connect ChatGPT Ads, GEO and paid search
  • Which use cases are worth testing first
  • What works differently from Google Ads
  • How to approach targeting, creative and measurement
  • What the platform can and can’t do today
  • How to build a 3-4 month test-and-learn plan

The opportunity isn’t just to be early on ChatGPT Ads. It’s to understand how AI is changing the customer journey from discovery to conversion — and connect it before your competitors do.

Join DEPT® to learn from six months of hands-on experience and leave with a clear plan for what to do next.
