OpenAI opened its Ads Manager across India, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Tech Times reports, the same morning North American agencies documented dashboard clicks their own analytics could not find. Digiday argues usage rights, not per-post rates, are the real hurdle in creator pricing, while Godrej Consumer Products handed WPP Media its international media mandate across seven markets after a three-month pitch, per the Daily Mirror.
