Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO)

Dynamic creative automatically generates multiple ad combinations from your assets and tests them to find top performers:

  • Asset Mixing: Upload multiple images, videos, headlines, descriptions, and CTAs. Meta's AI tests all viable combinations.
  • Per-Person Optimization: Each user sees the combination most likely to drive their conversion, based on their behavior patterns.
  • Real-Time Learning: Performance data continuously feeds back into the model, improving creative selection over time.
  • Cross-Format Delivery: The same assets are automatically adapted for feed, stories, reels, and in-stream placements.

Creative Strategy for Advantage+

🎨

Volume & Variety

Upload 5-10+ creatives with different visual styles, messaging angles, and formats. More variety gives the AI more to test and learn from.

📺

Video First

Prioritize short-form video (under 15 seconds) for Reels and Stories. Video consistently outperforms static images in Advantage+ campaigns.

🔁

UGC Style

User-generated content style creatives often outperform polished brand assets. Authentic, native-feeling content drives higher engagement.

🔄

Regular Refresh

Add 2-3 new creatives weekly to combat fatigue. Remove underperformers after 2 weeks. Keep the creative pipeline fresh and diverse.
