Cross-account portfolio bidding + dedicated Bid strategy report

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Microsoft launched a dedicated Bid strategy report that shows strategy status and performance metrics (average target ROAS, ROAS, revenue, conversions), with a conversion delay window visualisation, and full bid strategy settings (Target ROAS, Maximum CPC). Paired with this: Cross-account portfolio bidding lets agencies group campaigns across multiple accounts under a single strategy.

What changed

This closes a long-standing gap for agencies managing multi-account holding-company structures on Microsoft.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means agencies managing scaled Microsoft Ads portfolios can collapse separate per-account bid strategy management into a single cross-account view. Particularly relevant for holding-company structures where portfolio strategy alignment has been an operational drag.
