Meta is transitioning from Nielsen's Designated Market Area (DMA) to Comscore Markets for automotive model ads targeting, effective June 22, 2026. This change, announced on February 26, 2026, aims to provide a more sustainable and scalable partner solution for long-term performance and measurement. Advertisers can begin updating their vehicle offer feeds from March 23, 2026, by replacing the 'dma_codes' field with 'Comscore Market IDs' as an array of strings.
Meta will provide a mapping table to convert existing DMA codes. On April 20, 2026, notifications will be issued for feeds still using dma_codes. After June 22, all campaigns relying on DMA codes will pause and must be updated with Comscore Market IDs to resume delivery.
This transition allows advertisers to leverage a more robust regional targeting system, ensuring continued effective campaign management.
AppsFlyer MCP connects Claude directly to live attribution data, replacing manual reporting and CSV exports. Gaming teams catch budget anomalies overnight, finance teams compress multi-hour analysis into minutes, and e-commerce teams close the gap between measurement and spend decisions. Setup takes under 60 seconds, enabling real-time queries on channels, cohorts, and ROAS. The key insight is that AI-powered analysis requires live data connections, not stale exports.
In 2025, AI agents will automate ad production and UA, reducing personnel needs. Privacy concerns persist despite Google's cookie reversal, driving contextual targeting and new identifiers. Advertisers will explore CTV and in-app inventory via cost-per-outcome deals. M&A activity ramps up, with deal volume up 118% YoY.

Non-gaming marketers like e-commerce, fintech, and subscription services are increasingly turning to mobile advertising, driven by rising costs on walled gardens. They are shifting from CPI to outcome-based models (e.g., ROAS, CPA), leveraging ML to find quality users beyond contextual placements. Key takeaways: ad platforms must enable direct revenue attribution, faster feedback loops, and product-first creative to serve these advertisers. The era of growth at any cost is giving way to quality-focused, intentional scaling.

The article explores the strategic use of CPI and ROAS campaigns on Mintegral, emphasizing that CPI is ideal for new apps to gather initial user data, while ROAS suits mature apps focused on high-value users. Running both in parallel can confuse algorithms and reduce efficiency. A key insight is the 'bidding challenge': bid high enough for impact but not overspend. Mintegral's Hybrid ROAS optimizes for both IAA and IAP, using oCPI bidding. Decision-makers should prioritize one model based on app stage and use tools like sub-source management to refine performance.
Target ROAS campaigns often fail to scale due to unrealistic targets, budget cuts during learning, short data windows, or frequent structural changes. To scale, focus on three pillars: sufficient budget for exploration, flexible ROAS targets during early learning, and adequate data windows to capture long-term value. Avoid micromanaging; instead, provide stable signals and exploration capacity for the algorithm.
Analysis of 2022 World Cup mobile data reveals that the tournament's largest engagement window occurs early, with sports entertainment installs spiking 189% and sports news 204% on November 22.

For 2026, brands must adapt in real-time to shifting attention across matches and regions. Adjust's AI-powered attribution and analytics provide the visibility needed to capitalize on these global events.
