Creative Diversification: The Ad Types Y...

Marketing and Margaritas
About this episode

Meta’s Andromeda update has flipped the script: your creative is now your targeting. That means the old “find one winner and scale it” playbook no longer cuts it. In this episode, I break down the nine essential creative categories every business should have in their account in 2025.

You’ll learn:

  • Why creative diversity is the single biggest lever for unlocking growth in the new algorithm.

  • The nine creative categories you need (with examples for both e-commerce and service businesses).

  • How to audit your current creative mix and identify the gaps.

  • A step-by-step framework for testing, scaling, and analysing creative performance by category instead of single ads.

By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to diversify your creative, reach new audience segments, and give Meta’s AI the tools it needs to find your best customers.
