LG’s 2026 OLED lineup is headlined by the G6, but the C6 is likely the model most people will end up considering.

(In addition to the Current ADV, there’s also a higher-end model, the Current EXP, with a more expensive carbon frame and better components.)

It means connecting every downstream sales outcome back to the upstream marketing action that generated it. Which campaign sourced the lead? Which content piece moved a deal…
