    I've spent almost $1 billion advertising on FB since '08 and this is something I see advertisers getting wrong all the time: 🛑 Stop focusing on FB CPMs (and CPCs)! They don't matter that much. ❌ Turning off ads due to high CPCs or CPMs can be turning off top performers. 🧵👇

    You probably don't want to hear this, but you need to: Stop wasting time on FB audience testing You don't need much more than 3 ad sets: 1 broad 1 lookalikes of purchasers (10%!) 1 relevant interests That's it. Focus on your ad creative, that's what really matters.

    Stop making DTC ads that your marketing team likes. Your customers are not marketers.

    $600k+ stolen in 3 days Hackers spending in ad accounts they broke into. I've heard several stories like this and a brand I work with was recently attacked I've been working on FB ads for 14 years and this is the worst I've seen.

    In every org, there are more opinions about marketing than other functions because people are exposed to advertising their whole lives and they think it's easy.

    Oh wow, an actually helpful Ads Manager feature telling me how much I can increase budget without going back into the learning phase. And it's waayyyy more than 25%! Mine's 69% here👀 (Do we think that's the budget increase threshold now or is that just a funny coincidence? cc
