What is Creative diversification

Consumers become tired of seeing the same ads over and over again, which leads to creative fatigue. There are 2 main categories of creatives to combat this:

• Creative format: This is about incorporating new, engaging ad formats and placements. For example, you might consider testing video if that’s something you haven’t tried or testing into one of our newer creative formats, like Reels. We’ve seen advertisers lean into UGC-style ads, or ads that appear to have been created by a customer or creator, to connect with their customers and drive performance.

• Creative concept: This is about incorporating new messaging and tones into your creative mix. If you’re trying to reach a specific audience, work to ensure the concept of your creative will resonate with that audience.
