@benradack If all the metrics are looking good? But add to cart is high & CPA is high - would you let it run?
We are finding ads that are performing amazing across all metrics but CPA & ATC
We ran a multi-cell conversion lift test with Meta.
Partnership ads alongside BAU creative vs BAU only.
800 incremental conversions vs 520
CPA: $25.63 vs $39.34
ROAS: over 10x stronger
One change. Identity layer added.
Here's why it works.
When you run an ad from a creator's identity, Meta doesn't treat it as a variant of your existing creative. It reads it as a signal from a different entity. That unlocks a new audience pool the brand account can't reach on its own.
Same hook ร different creator = new creative
Same format ร different identity = new creative
Same product ร different persona = new creative
Most brands running creator content never get here. They're paying for UGC, watching CTR tick up, and missing the actual mechanism.
Identity is the multiplier at the top of the creative diversity pyramid. And it's the first lever to pull when first-time impression ratio drops below 10%.
We've put together our full Partnership Ads Playbook covering how to find and brief the right creators, how to structure the workflow inside Ads Manager, how to use FTIR as a leading indicator, and when to pull partnership ads as your first response to audience saturation.
Retweet this post and comment PLAYBOOK and I'll send it over.
@ashvinmelwani Seeing the same. Looked promising at the start but fizzled - have been running for best part of 4 weeks
Performance on it in the last week has been diabolical we had to turn it off
Didnโt notice a huge lift in net new even at a 90day look back
@rokhladnik Spoke to our account manager - he was shocked that I suggested something was up. Said he had heard performance was down, but no outages from meta ๐
@oliverwhudson Once you do patch it, how long would you say you have to invest in the incremental reach before you should see a Performance lift? Is it based on consideration period for the brand?
Other than CPMR & net new reach. What are the signals? Would you be looking at?
@oliverwhudson@barkan99 When you say max exclusions - would you extend this to Video Views etc? Anyway to get the maximum amount of exclusions possible?
