Compose Facebook Placement Asset Customization Ads

Updated 

Customize your ad creatives for different placements and increase the visibility of your ads for users.

While creating a new creative for your Facebook campaign, you can customize your ad creatives for different placements by enabling Placement Asset Customization (PAC). This will allow you to provide individual assets for specific placements, like images and headlines.

Use cases of Placement Asset Customization

  • Tailor your creative assets to Facebook, Instagram, Audience Network, and Messenger placements.

  • Customize your ads based on audience behavior and best practices of each placement to ensure that your ad can run in as many places as possible.

  • Save money using Placement Asset Customization — Facebook's delivery system can teach where to spend your budget on one ad, rather than guessing when you allocate money to separate ads for each placement.

To set Placement Asset Customization for media/video posts

  1. Click the New Tab icon. Under the Sprinklr Marketing tab, go to the Advertising sub tab and click Ads Composer within Execute.

  2. On the Ads Composer window, select your Facebook Ad account.

  3. In the Campaign Details section, choose your campaign Objective from Select Objective for your Campaign.
    Placement Asset Customization is not supported for

    - Sales (New Objective) (Website & App, Catalogue)

  4. Under Campaign Name, enter a name for your campaign or use a naming convention.

  5. Select the custom properties under Define Custom Properties and click Next.

  6. Select the other details for your campaign by following the workflow. For more information, see Compose Facebook and Instagram Ads.

  7. In the Creatives section, select Create new creative. If you choose Select from existing Creatives, you can search for a creative by entering Post Text, Post Id, or Permalink in the search bar.

  9. Under Creative Details, select Placement Asset Customization to enable customization of your ad creatives.

    • You can add a total of five assets or less for placement customization.

    

  14. Click Set Placement beneath each asset and select a placement from the drop-down menu. The first asset will have the default placement selection and will update dynamically after selecting the other asset's placements.

  15. Enter the creative details as per the set placement customization and click Save in the bottom right corner to save your changes.

  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to customize for different placements.

  8. Once done, preview your Carousel Ad in the right pane and click Save.

To set Placement Asset Customization in Ads Manager

    Note

    • At least two media assets per ad variant are required.

    • If you clone an Ad Variant having Placement Asset Customization (PAC) enabled, the cloned Ad Variant will maintain the same Story ID. However, making any changes to the creative in the cloned Ad Variant or cloning the Ad Variant into an Ad Set with different placements will change the Story ID.

  5. After selecting your assets, set the placements from the Set placement drop-down menu below each Image/Video, Website URL, Text, Headline, Link Description, and Call to Action field.

  6. From the bottom-right corner of the Ads Manager window, click Review Changes to review your changes.

Note

You can use the View post permalink with comments in Facebook option for a Facebook ad variant having Placement Asset Customization for a desktop preview with the actual post content. This will allow you to view the actual post on Facebook.

A suffix of dco_ad_id=<Ad_ID> will be appended to each permalink for such posts.

To bulk edit placement asset customized ads

You can bulk edit your PAC ads under the same Ad Set or across Ad Sets having different placements.

While bulk editing your PAC ads, all the different assets will be separated into groups. For example, all the images/videos being used will be grouped under Media. Similarly, the URL, Headline, Text, and Link Descriptions will also be grouped.

Any changes made at a specific group will get copied over across all the selected ad variants.

  1. Click the New Tab icon. Under the Sprinklr Marketing (Ads) tab, click Ads Manager within Analyze.

  2. Navigate to the Ads section from the top dashboard bar.

  3. Apply a Creative Customization filter to filter out your Placement Asset Customization Ads. Learn more about filters in Apply Filters in Ads Manager.

  4. Select the Ads you want to edit by checking the boxes alongside their names and click View & Edit from the bottom Edit panel.

  5. In the View and Edit pane to the right, scroll down to the Creative section and click Edit within Post Details. You can now modify the values for all text fields and placements for your PAC Ad.

    Note:

    • The Objective should be the same for editing the creatives.

    • If different variations are being used across the selected entities, then you will see the label Mixed State appear against each of the groups. Clicking Edit will highlight the values of the first Ad Variant that was selected.

    • While bulk editing PAC ads, if a placement is selected that is not included at the Ad Set level, then Sprinklr will automatically remove that placement after review.
      For example, if Instagram Feed is selected as the placement at the Ad Set level and you select Facebook Feed as a placement at the Ad level, then after the Ad is sent for publishing, Sprinklr will automatically remove the combination for Facebook Feed.

    • Controlling custom fields cannot be edited in bulk.

  6. Once you have made the changes, click Review Changes in the bottom right corner.

  7. On the Review Changes window, click Apply Changes.
