Microsoft Advertising streamlines bid strategy options globally

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Microsoft Advertising has completed a global rollout of its simplified bidding interface, consolidating Target CPA and Target ROAS into optional target settings within Maximise Conversions and Maximise Conversion Value, respectively, rather than treating them as standalone bid strategies. The change applies only to newly created campaigns; existing tCPA and tROAS campaigns continue to run without any required action, and portfolio bid strategies remain unchanged.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means the practical impact is minimal for existing accounts: but new campaign builds should use the updated interface, which better reflects how the optimisation goals actually function.

Perspective from the original PMC newsletter.
