The Problem
Meta advertising used to be easy. Detailed targeting. Lookalike audiences. Pixel tracking that actually worked. Then Apple happened. Privacy changes hit. And a lot of agencies didn’t know what to do next.
Now you’ve got campaigns running on “Advantage+ audiences” because someone told you to trust the algorithm. Your creative is the same as everyone else’s. Your measurement is a mess. You’re spending money but you can’t prove what it’s doing.
The platform still works. The agencies just got lazy. They relied on Meta’s machine learning instead of building real strategy. When the machine broke, they had nothing to fall back on.
