First Enhanced Image Ads on Google Shopping Deliver +47% ROAS in Pilot

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — MagBak, Neon Growth, and Marpipe launched what the partners believe to be the first enhanced image ads on Google Shopping listings in 2026.

The pilot, conducted from June 25 to July 12, 2026, demonstrated a 47% increase in purchase return on ad spend (ROAS), a 41% rise in conversion rate, a 19% improvement in click-through rate, and a 9% reduction in cost per click compared to a pre-launch control period.

MagBak, an engineering-led accessories brand known for magnetic phone cases and mounts, partnered with Neon Growth, its full-service growth agency to launch this test.

Marpipe, the catalog creative technology platform trusted by 7,000+ marketers, powered the creative enrichment, transforming raw product feeds into branded, offer-embedded ad images across the catalog for the first time on Google Shopping. Neon Growth was the first partner to leverage this technology in a live campaign. Neon designed the campaign, managed media execution, and measured performance.

Ackah Blay, Director, Paid Search & Shopping, Neon Growth, said, “Paid search teams have historically had very few creative levers inside Google Shopping. This changed that. Marpipe let us bring an offer and brand message directly into the product image, while Neon structured the feed deployment, media execution, and measurement. The result was not merely more traffic. It was more qualified traffic, stronger conversion, and significantly better revenue efficiency. That combination of creative and media makes this a scalable new Shopping playbook rather than a one-time performance spike.”

The results suggest a structural shift in how Google Shopping ads can perform. The simultaneous improvement across ROAS, conversion rate, CTR, and reduction in CPC indicates a fundamental change in ad relevance and user intent capture, not just a cosmetic lift.

Alex Baca, CEO, MagBak, said, “We obsess over every detail of our products. Our shopping ads now match that standard and have an opportunity to capture the right person in a crowded space. Being a first-mover is in our brand DNA.”

Results compare post-launch performance (June 25 – July 12, 2026) against the immediately preceding period (June 7 – 24, 2026) for MagBak shopping listings, based on in-platform attribution. “First” claim reflects the partners’ knowledge of the market at launch.

Elong Power Holding Limited Announces the Change of Effective Date of its 1 for 45 Share Consolidations

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elong Power Holding Limited (Nasdaq: ELPW) (the “Company”), a provider of high power battery technologies for commercial and specialty alternative energy vehicles and energy storage systems, announced a share consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at a ratio of 1 for 45 shares (the “Reverse Split”) earlier today. The Company has announced a change of effective date of the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split will take effect at the open of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on August 10, 2026.

On January 6, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, and the shareholders approved to implement share consolidations of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at any one time or multiple times, at the exact consolidation ratio and effective time as the Board may determine from time to time in its absolute discretion, provided that the accumulative consolidation ratio for all such share consolidations shall not be more than 4000:1, and authorized the Board to implement such share consolidations at any time during a period of up to two years of the date of the meeting. On July 31, 2026, the board approved implementation of the Reverse Split at a ratio of 1 for 45 shares.

The objective of the Reverse Split is to enable the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), which requires issuers listed on Nasdaq to maintain a closing bid price of greater than $0.10.

Upon the open of trading on August 10, 2026, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares will begin trading on a Reverse Split-adjusted basis, under the same symbol “ELPW” but under a new CUSIP number, G3016G137.

As a result of the Reverse Split, each 45 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0128 will automatically combine and convert into one issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share with a par value of $0.576. Each 45 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0128 will automatically combine and convert into one issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share with a par value of $0.576. The Reverse Split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for minimal changes that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. No action is required by shareholders holding their shares through a brokerage account.

No fractional shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the Reverse Split, and each shareholder will be entitled to receive one full Class A ordinary share or Class B ordinary share, as applicable, in the Company in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Split.

At the time the share consolidation is effective, the Company’s total issued and outstanding common shares will change from approximately 23 million to approximately 0.51 million. The Company’s authorized shares will be proportionally reduced.
