How to Create & Update Special Ad Custom Audiences

Updated 

Facebook allows you to categorize your campaigns into a Special Ad Category that best describes your ad. In Sprinklr, you can create a Special Ad Audience to reach new people specifically when your campaign is about Credit, Employment, or Housing.

A Special Ad Custom Audience is similar to a Lookalike Audience because it uses the similarities of people from online behavior within your source to form a new audience. However, the audience is adjusted to comply with the targeting restrictions associated with your campaign's chosen Special Ad Category. It will not use information such as age and gender, or certain demographics, behaviors, or interests.

To Create a Special Ad Custom Audience

1. Click the New Tab icon Space Add New Tab Icon Under the Sprinklr Marketing (Ads) tab, click Audience Manager within Plan.

2. On the Audience Manager window, click Create Audience in the top-right corner and select Create Special Ad Custom Audience.
