    Meta advertising issues: What is happening and what you can do about it

    In this special episode we discuss current issues with Meta’s advertising platform and actions companies can take to potentially address impacted campaigns. During March there has been a significant amount of volatility in the performance of Meta ads, with some advertisers reporting a major decline in leads/sales. The volume of reported issues has increased substantially following last week’s global Facebook/Instagram outage. Meta has not released an official statement on this topic, however, given the volume of conversations happening about Meta advertising issues, there's clearly some merit to the concerns. We at Reshift Media have been reviewing the many Meta ad accounts we manage, and have been able to see some of the issues first-hand. During this episode, we are joined by Jen McDonnell, Reshift’s VP of Content and Social Media who shares what we are seeing, what is being reported by the online community, what you as an advertiser should be looking for, and actions you can take to try and address poor ad performance.
