Key points
- OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT ads to 26 more countries, according to The Information.
- The Information reports OpenAI says it now has more than 100,000 advertisers.
- OpenAI published a post on how it built its ad stack, with user trust and relevance as stated goals.
- MarTech's headline says advertiser count is high but revenue is modest.
Why it matters for marketers: ChatGPT is becoming a real ad channel with broad advertiser access, but early revenue signals suggest marketers should test cautiously and watch results before shifting budget.
OpenAI is expanding advertising in ChatGPT to 26 additional countries, according to The Information. The outlet also reports that the company says it has more than 100,000 advertisers. The source articles were not available in full, so details on formats, pricing and which markets are included are not covered here.
OpenAI has also published a post describing how it built its ad stack, framing the work around user trust and relevance. That framing suggests the company knows ads inside a conversational assistant will be judged differently from ads on a search page or social feed.
A MarTech headline adds a counterpoint: ChatGPT has plenty of advertisers, but not much revenue. Read together, the reports point to wide participation but limited returns so far, though the full figures were not available to us.
For marketers, the expansion means ChatGPT is moving from a small experiment toward a channel that more brands in more regions can try. A large advertiser pool can also mean more competition for placements over time. At the same time, modest revenue may indicate that spend per advertiser is still small, and that the channel is early.
Teams should watch for official details on targeting, measurement and brand safety controls, and for any data on performance. A small, well-tracked test is a reasonable first step, especially for brands in the newly added countries.
