Placements and Video Brand Studio (VBS)
What are placements and how do they work in combination with Video Brand Studio (VBS)? Read more about creating Facebook placements below.
Facebook Dynamic Creative
A dynamic creative campaign on Facebook allows you to create multiple combinations of your assets (videos, text, headline, description and call to action) into one ad automatically.
Facebook then programmatically combines these assets to deliver multiple variations of the ad. As there are multiple versions generated, the performance data of each combination will be automatically analysed and used to optimise the campaign.
What is a placement?
A placement is a video or set of videos on the Video Brand Studio platform, which is connected to one ad set inside a Facebook campaign.
Note
Only one placement can be used for one ad set.
Tip
You can set up various ad sets wi one campaign, however only ad sets set to Dynamic Creative will be useable for a placement.
