FACEBOOK ADS IN 2025: WHAT HAS CHANGED AND WHAT STILL WORKS
Facebook Ads (now Meta Ads) has changed dramatically since iOS 14.5. Broad targeting, Advantage+ audiences, and AI-driven creative testing have replaced the manual audience targeting of 2018–2021. The brands growing fastest on Meta have adapted to this shift — leaning into Meta's algorithm rather than fighting it with narrow targeting.
THE 3 CAMPAIGN TYPES EVERY D2C BRAND NEEDS
Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns (ASC) for proven products and retargeting. Manual CBO for creative testing. Broad cold traffic campaigns for prospecting. This three-campaign structure handles 80% of D2C Meta spend efficiently.
