Meta owns Facebook and Instagram, accounting for billions of users between them. In recent years businesses have been pushed towards spending money to promote content. Doing so also helps organic content be seen, so it’s becoming important - whether you like it or not. This session will show you how to set up a Meta ad. You’ll think about ads, ad sets, objectives, creative sizes/types, variable copy, approval processes (and what can go wrong) and reporting. Meta ads are complicated, but we’ll keep this as simple as possible.
