Check out the blog post for more on Meridian: blog.google/products/ads...
Meridian features 3 distinctive methodologies:
1. Better video measurement by modeling YouTube reach & frequency

Exactly, thank you for the nature as metaphor appreciation I was looking for haha
On a sunrise beach walk a couple of weeks ago, I came across this dead fish inside a dead fish and thought it was fascinating. Nobody in my family appreciated it so I'm sharing it here.
We use your average weekly budget to calculate the monthly spend limit. While the average weekly spend can fluctuate up/down with changing market conditions, campaigns won’t exceed their monthly spend limit. 2/2
We’ve sent this type of notice for a while. You’ll be notified around mid-month if your LSA campaign exhausts its monthly budget. Weekly spend fluctuations are typically due to changing market conditions (weather events, industry trends, etc.) and/or any recent budget changes in the campaign.

Apologies for the confusion, this is a bug as part of a rollout of an upcoming feature where advertisers will be able to segment their PMax Asset Group report. We are addressing the bug now.
Thank you, Navah ♥️

It was so great to catch up with many old and new #ppc friends in person at @heroconf.bsky.social.
Now on my way home and just had to triple-convince the very nice and very skeptical woman taking my coffee order that I just want it black. There’s a testing metaphor in there somewhere.
