Andromeda simplifies Facebook ads with Advantage+. Automate, optimize, and target broader audiences for better ROAS.
Meta is rolling out Andromeda, a cutting-edge machine learning system powered by NVIDIA chips, set to transform ad retrieval. This update will streamline campaign management, with all ads transitioning to Advantage+ campaigns by default.
Key Changes for Marketers:
- Simplified Campaign Structure: The new default workflow will center around Advantage+ Sales Campaigns, consolidating all campaigns into this format.
- Optimization Score: Meta will introduce a Campaign Optimization Score, providing AI-driven recommendations to encourage greater reliance on automation.
- Value-Based Bidding: The focus is shifting from lowest-cost bidding to value optimization using Target ROAS (tROAS), especially beneficial for businesses with diverse product offerings. Future updates will even include profit optimization.
- Attribution Window Adjustments: While 7-day click attribution is closer to actual results, a 7-day click, 1-day view window is recommended, with the suggestion to conduct incremental studies to accurately measure causal effects.
- Broad Audience Targeting: Andromeda's enhanced context window for user behavior makes broad audience targeting more effective and eliminates the 50-conversion requirement.
- Refined Customer Segmentation: Meta will allow specification of existing and engaged customers at the account level, redefining them as "active" and "lapsed" customers based on purchase history and behavior.
- Creative Strategy: Campaigns should be built around distinct offers, with a focus on high-volume, diverse ad creatives, including vertical video with sound.
Embracing Automation:
Meta's AI enhancements, which have shown to increase ROAS by 27%, emphasize the importance of leveraging automation for ad personalization. This shift reduces the number of campaigns, streamlines budget allocation, and minimizes manual decision-making in media buying.
By adapting to these changes, marketers and e-commerce brand operators can harness the power of Meta's AI to achieve more efficient and effective advertising campaigns.
