The (game-changing) Facebook Ad Library -
We’d be doing you a disservice if we didn’t mention the new Facebook Ad Library. To improve levels of transparency on Facebook, you now have access to view all ads currently running on Facebook at any given time. If an ad is no longer active, you won’t see it.
Facebook says “
“The Ad Library provides advertising transparency by offering a comprehensive, searchable collection of all ads currently running from across Facebook Products, including Instagram. Anyone can explore the Library, with or without a Facebook or Instagram account. You can access all active ads, even ones that might not have been shown to you because you weren’t part of an advertiser’s intended audience.”
So what does this library mean for us marketers? There is now an on tap supply of inspiration, you're also able to see in one place what multiple competitors are doing right now. Instead of copying and pasting it allows us to be creative in order to stand out! We think this is a great tool that should be utilised.
