About this event
Google Marketing Live — what to expect
Google Marketing Live is Google's annual showcase for advertising products — Ads, Display & Video 360, Performance Max, and the AI features built into the ad stack.
The 2026 edition is virtual with a free registration. The keynote lands new ad formats, AI creative tools (Asset Studio, Demand Gen AI), and measurement updates relevant to anyone running paid media.
Direct fit for advertising and growth teams. Less useful for engineering unless tracking AI applied to creative or measurement.
Why it matters for Robot.com
Three reasons to track this event
-
AI in ads is a near-term revenue lever
Performance Max, Demand Gen, and AI-assisted creative directly affect Robot.com's R-ads economics. Updates here translate to budget allocation decisions within weeks.
-
Creative AI keeps shifting
Asset Studio and AI-generated creatives change what 'good' looks like for paid media. Staying current is the lowest-friction way to maintain ad ROAS.
-
Free + virtual means full team can watch
No travel cost, full half-day commitment. The growth team can watch live and the engineering team can catch the AI sessions on replay.
