Mumbai: As India prepares for the festive shopping season, Meta has announced a suite of video-first and creator-driven advertising tools powered by new AI to help brands maximize consumer engagement and sales. The update is designed to help marketers drive discovery, improve conversions and create immersive campaigns across Facebook and Instagram.
Strengthen brand merchandising strategies using reels and creators
This season, Meta has expanded its creator-driven solutions for businesses, making partnerships more accessible by enhancing creator discoveries with new languages and regional filters on Instagram's Creator Marketplace. Marketers can combine partnership ads with Advantage+ catalog ads, including the option to add “intro cards” from creators.
Early tests have shown strong results. Advisory stars use partnership ads to enable “View Product” optimization, recording 4% higher click-through rates and 3% higher conversions compared to conversions with 4% higher click-through rates. Additionally, creator testimonials become available globally, helping marketers to amplify their product's support through authentic voices.
“Creators are essential to getting through the noise of Indian celebrations and Diwali advertising. Our campaign consistently shows that the right creators can drive meaningful impacts across the marketing funnel. I said Rohan Dighe, founder of Viralmint

Meta continues to prioritize videos to help brands attract audiences. The reel ads have been expanded as follows:

To strengthen its omnichannel strategy, Meta has made omnichannel ads globally available, allowing brands to optimize campaigns in online stores, apps and physical outlets.
