A ChatGPT ads agency plans, launches, manages and optimises campaigns in OpenAI's Ads Manager. PinPoint Media does this for UK brands from London, working inside the brand's own advertiser account.

What are ChatGPT ads?

ChatGPT ads are labelled sponsored placements that may appear below ChatGPT's answers on the ad-supported plans. Each has an advertiser name, logo, title, description, image and landing page. OpenAI says ads run on separate systems and do not influence ChatGPT's answers.

How do ChatGPT ads work?

An advertiser builds campaigns, ad groups with context hints, and ads in OpenAI's Ads Manager. OpenAI matches ads to the conversation using relevance signals and an auction, and the advertiser is billed per 1,000 impressions or per valid click. Results are read in Ads Manager and the brand's own analytics.

Are ChatGPT ads available in the UK?

Yes. OpenAI says ChatGPT Ads launched in the UK on 11 August 2026, and its availability page lists the United Kingdom as available for self-service Ads Manager. The advertising and billed legal entity must be based in a listed country. ChatGPT Ads is in beta, so details can change.

Do ChatGPT ads change what ChatGPT recommends?

No. OpenAI says ads do not influence ChatGPT's answers, and seeing an ad does not mean OpenAI endorses the advertiser. Ads are paid placements, and GEO and AEO are separate work, aimed at earning recommendations in AI answers. A brand can use both.

How does PinPoint Media report on ChatGPT ads?

How does the PinPoint Media team compare with hiring in-house?

The PinPoint Media team covers strategy, creative, data and media buying in one place. An in-house hire usually covers one or two of those. PinPoint Media offers 80+ specialists and in-house studios in London, Cheltenham and Leeds, so a brand can scale output without recruiting and managing each role itself.

On Google Shopping, FACEGYM reached a 5.66 ROAS. For Stitch Fix UK, non-brand CPA fell 64% and non-brand conversions rose 91% year on year after the Google Ads account went from 87 campaigns to 16.

How did PinPoint Media run the campaigns in these case studies?

PinPoint Media starts with the brand's goal and builds the plan around it. For Planthood, it ran targeted creative and audience segmentation on Meta and TikTok, using moments such as Veganuary. For Cotswold Fox, it started small on Meta with UGC-style ads, scaled when they worked, and then added TikTok and Google.

What does a first call cover if a brand wants similar results?

A first call covers your brand, your goals and your current numbers. PinPoint Media tells you which of its case studies look closest to your situation, where it sees the growth and whether it is the right fit. If it is a fit, a tailored proposal follows after the call.

Why do brands use PinPoint Media instead of an in-house team?

Brands use PinPoint Media for specialist capacity under one roof. For OTO Wellbeing, PinPoint Media delivered 80 unique pieces of content a month for Meta ads. For Umberto Giannini, creator-led TikTok videos averaged over 250,000 organic views each. An in-house team would need to hire, brief and manage those skills separately.
