“Interest-based targeting works because you can use your competitor as the interest being targeted. If you type in a competitor name, Facebook is going to populate it with an audience that has expressed an interest in or liked pages related to that competitor,” explains Chadd Powell, as Facebook doesn’t have keywords, like Google, for targeting competitors. Powell provides an example of how the audiences overlap. It’s not as clear-cut as Google or Microsoft Ads targeting, but it is a strategy you may consider testing.

iOS 14 is not your biggest measurement challenge… but it might have just exposed it

by Sam Carter | Feb 3, 2021

Read the article here.

In the latest iOS release, additional privacy controls will dramatically restrict ad platforms’ ability to track Apple product users as they navigate between apps and mobile web. Facebook responded to this issue by limiting the windows for attribution and the types of data that advertisers can use to target customers across all devices. For many marketers, these changes are exposing a deeper flaw in their measurement and attribution: a dependency on ad platforms to measure their own performance. With the new limitations to user-level data access for Facebook, there has never been a better time for brands to control their first-party data and independent measurement of their marketing spending effectiveness.
