The Digital Commerce Daily — August 25, 2026 In this episode: • ChatGPT's ad product just got serious — automated bidding and platform targeting turn it from an experiment into a genuine rival to Google and Meta for performance budgets. • New data reveals Southern Europe has become Chinese ecommerce's strongest Western foothold, with AliExpress, Shein, and Temu outperforming their European averages — a market dynamic brands and platform sellers can no longer ignore. • Meta is removing advertisers' ability to exclude specific placements — a quiet but significant power shift that forces brands to trust Meta's algorithm with decisions they previously controlled.
