Meta’s New Ad Creative Focus: Reels-First Approach

Meta recommends creating ads specifically designed for Facebook and Instagram Reels. Ads optimized for Reels achieve:

13% higher Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)
16% lower Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)

This approach can be a critical factor in scaling campaigns profitably. Ads built for Reels (vertical 9:16 aspect ratio) perform better than traditional square (1:1) or 4:5 formats. Vertical video ads fit full screen on mobile devices, improving engagement and ad effectiveness.

Creative Best Practices for Reels Ads

Use 9:16 vertical aspect ratio to fully utilize mobile screen real estate.
Include audio, as users increasingly watch Reels with sound on.
- Meta’s Advantage+ Creative Enhancements can add audio/music automatically.
- Advertisers should review and customize audio/music to fit their brand tone.
Place all important text, offers, and CTAs within Meta’s “safe zones” to ensure visibility across placements and avoid being obscured by UI elements.

Campaign Structure & Optimization Updates

Meta recommends campaign consolidation:
- Use fewer campaigns and fewer ad sets per campaign.
- This contrasts with the older funnel-based approach of separate campaigns/ad sets for TOF (top of funnel), MOF, and BOF.
Meta’s AI dynamically delivers different ads within a single ad set to different audience segments:
- For example, showing top-funnel ads to cold audiences first, then bottom-funnel ads to warm audiences.
Optimization advice:
- Do not pause ads just because they have lower ROAS if Meta is still spending on them.
- Ads with lower ROAS may serve a top-funnel role, assisting the overall funnel.
- Only pause ads when Meta stops spending on them.
- Introduce new creatives to compete and test within the consolidated structure.
Emphasize creative diversity within ad sets:
- Use 5–10 varied assets (different formats, messaging, styles).
- Meta reports campaigns with diverse creatives gain:
  - 44% increase in effectiveness
  - 24% increase in ad spend
- Different users respond to different ad types (e.g., talking head videos vs. animated videos).
- Creative diversity enables Meta’s AI to better personalize ad delivery and improve results.

Measurement & Attribution

Use advanced tracking software like Hyros for accurate attribution beyond Meta’s native reporting.
Example case:
- Campaign generated £96,000 in revenue.
- £58,000 of that was not reported by Meta, mainly due to recurring billing and post-initial conversions.
Accurate attribution enables better marketing decisions and optimization.
