PropellerAds Updates Will Help You Work Smarter and Scale Faster
July 23, 2026 by João Aguiar 3 min readTable of Contents
ToggleScaling campaigns while juggling more traffic sources, more data, and more decisions is no easy feat. The PropellerAds team shares how their newest updates, NIKO AI and Paid Social Traffic, are here to make that grind a whole lot easier.
Launching campaigns has never been easier.
Scaling them is another story.
More traffic sources to test.
More data to analyze.
More optimization decisions to make.
At the same time, finding new audiences often comes with additional platforms, extra accounts, and increasingly complex workflows.
The challenge isn’t just getting more traffic — it’s doing it efficiently.
That’s exactly what the latest PropellerAds updates are designed to address.
Let’s take a closer look at both.

ToggleNIKO AI: An AI Agent Inside Your Self-Serve Platform

While NIKO AI can automate many routine processes, it never makes changes without the advertiser’s explicit approval, ensuring users remain in full control of every decision.
While NIKO AI helps simplify campaign management and speed up decision-making, scaling still depends on having the right traffic sources.
PropellerAds’ second update tackles exactly that, bringing a new way to reach social audiences without changing the way you work.
Paid Social Traffic: A New Traffic Source for Social Audiences
Paid Social Traffic is a new ad format available inside the PropellerAds Self-Serve Platform, giving advertisers direct access to users active on social feeds through the platform’s supply partners.
The format allows advertisers to reach social audiences without opening separate social advertising accounts, connecting third-party platforms, or preparing additional creatives.
Existing accounts and landing pages are all that’s required to launch campaigns.
For advertisers planning long-term cooperation with dedicated budgets, the platform also offers Custom Collaboration, allowing supply partners to build custom funnels around individual campaigns.
Paid Social Traffic brings several practical advantages:
- Access to social audiences directly from the existing PropellerAds account.
- No additional account management, integrations, or creative production.
- Exclusive traffic available only through PropellerAds supply partners.
- Availability across major GEOs, including PH, BR, BD, TH, ZA, ZW, CG, TZ, NG, MY, and ID, with further expansion planned.
- A smoother approval flow for iGaming and Finance advertisers while maintaining standard ad quality guidelines and policies.
Early partner tests conducted on matched traffic segments (same GEO and OS) showed conversion rates around 32× higher than classic display formats, with CR improvements ranging from approximately 30× to 40×, depending on the product, vertical, and GEO.
