ChatGPT Advertising

Be there early when performance advertising is reimagined

ChatGPT Ads are far more than a test: Since February 2026, OpenAI has been running live ads across around ten markets worldwide, including the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea, via a self-serve Ads Manager platform with no minimum budget. This marks the next major turning point for digital marketing. For Austria and the DACH region, ad placements are not yet available (as of July 2026), but OpenAI is already actively building advertising teams in France, Germany and Ireland, a clear signal of an upcoming expansion into Europe. We are here as your strategic partner to ensure you can benefit from day one, as soon as the market opens.
