New Features

Rotate Campaigns, Ad Set/Ad Groups, and Ads Based on Time or Performance Metrics

We’re very excited to announce the newest Automate feature, Rotations!

Automatically update creative or test ad variations to ensure your creatives don’t get stale.

To get started, simply choose the set of campaigns, ad groups or ads you wish to cycle, then select the conditions you want to trigger the rotation.

Some common ways to use Rotations:

  1. Keep Creatives Fresh: Rotate your ads every week to save your target audience from seeing too many impressions of the same ad creative.

  2. Drop Poor Performers: Rotate ads out once they have 30,000 impressions and their CTR has dropped below your target.

  3. Test Targeting: Rotate between multiple LinkedIn campaigns, Facebook ad sets or Twitter cards to test the impact of using different targeting techniques.

Apply Changes to Your Campaigns Based on Custom Conversion Metrics

We’ve added support for Facebook, LinkedIn, and AdStage Custom Conversions metrics to Automate, so you can optimize campaigns to your internal business metrics like revenue.

Create optimization rules or alerts based on your own uploaded data such as custom conversion count, value, rate, ROAS or cost per value to drive more revenue.

Some common ways to use Custom Conversions in Automate:

  1. Monitor KPIs for Acquiring New Leads: Create an ad set alert that fires when Cost Per [Demo Requested] >$50 AND [Demo Requested] > 10.

  2. Test Ad Creative: Create an ad rotation that rotates when [Webinar Sign-Up] > 20

  3. Hit the Gas on High Returning Campaigns: Create a rule that raises the campaign budget by $10 up to $100 when the [Purchased Product A] ROAS > 50% AND [Purchased Product A] Spend >$100

  4. Take Advantage of High Performers: Create an Ad rule that raises the bid by 10% when when the [Trial Sign-Up] Rate is > 10% and [Trial Sign-Up] Impressions >1000
