Meta Ads
Meta Ads (formerly known as Facebook Ads) is a very effective online advertising channel for all phases of the customer journey. That is why we make it a part of the online advertising strategy of many of our clients. Do you want to know what Meta Ads is and why and when it would be good to use? Read this page, or feel free to reach out.
What are
Meta Ads?
Meta Ads is a network of channels (AKA placements) all within reach of the Meta Ads network. The different placements where your ads could be shown are Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and the Meta Audience Network. So even if you want to set up campaigns only visible on Instagram, you would still use Meta Ads to do so.
Meta Ads offers a varied set of campaign objectives. Whether you are looking to reach a new audience to build your brand, or the aim is to get your app installed, Meta offers great targeting options and smart ad formats to reach your objectives effectively.
One important thing to note is that when we talk about Meta/Facebook Ads, we mean running paid campaigns via the Meta Ads network. Posting organically, AKA content marketing, is not a service we currently offer.
Why would you
advertise using
Meta Ads?
We call Meta Ads a ‘full funnel channel’ as it offers effective campaign objectives for the different phases of the customer journey. Meta Ads allows you to smartly build audiences, which you can target and retarget with your campaigns. That way you can really work from reaching a brand new audience towards getting recurring customers.
For E-commerce players Meta Ads offers many options for dynamically showing products, building custom collections and that way reaching a new and familiar audience.
Meta Ads is often used for reaching consumers, but it can also be successfully used to reach other businesses. For B2B campaigns there are useful campaign objectives and targeting options, like Lead Ads campaigns with targeting around industries and job titles.
