## Resource

For our final episode of 2025, host Ginny Marvin sits down with six Google Ads product experts to hear their personal picks from a year packed with new launches and features. From Charles Boyd’s deep dive into Nano Banana Pro in Asset Studio to Natalie Wertz’s breakdown of Performance Max Channel Reporting, we reveal the tools that stood out most to the people working on them. You’ll hear why Smart Bidding Exploration beats simply lowering ROAS targets and why three different leaders all landed on the exact same data-driven priority for 2026. Tune in to discover if your strategy is built on a strong foundation or if you're just playing ""whack-a-mole"" with your optimization.
