In context
You launch an ASC campaign with 8 PDA-framed creatives, a single budget of $500/day, and let Meta select audiences, placements, and creative rotation automatically. Results: ROAS within 15% of hand-managed campaigns on week 1, often better by week 3 as Advantage+ learns.
Why it matters
- Advantage+ pools signal across audiences — more data = better learning.
- Creative quality matters even more with Advantage+ because you can't tweak targeting.
- ASC is the default setup for cold acquisition in 2026.
