Episode #12: Myth-busting Advantage+ Lies!

This episode was sparked by a conversation with a client who had received some very BAD advice when it came to her ad strategy. With so many fake "gurus" out there, I thought it was important to sit down & bust some myths about Advantage+ campaigns, audiences and enhancements within Meta. Whilst there are strategies that can work across multiple industries, no ads mentor should be selling you a 'rinse & repeat' formula. Your brand is unique. That means your strategy should also be unique. Did someone give you terrible ad advice? Share it with us! We'll continue to debunk some of the worst ad advice and ad myths in future episodes.
