Through Meta’s Advantage+ solutions, advertisers can tap AI to help develop campaigns that are more relevant to the people who are most important to their businesses, according to a blog post on Wednesday (Aug. 10). Advantage+ shopping campaigns are being launched to advertisers worldwide. 

Advantage+ shopping campaigns are intended to help advertisers gain quick intelligence about the campaigns that are converting consumers. The solution also gets rid of having to manually create ads and automates up to 150 creative combinations at once.
