In this episode, Nick explores what could be one of the most useful Meta Ads updates for smaller advertisers. Looking back at the evolution from Dynamic Creative to Flexible Creative, he explains why these features were so valuable for testing multiple headlines, primary texts and creatives on limited budgets and why their disappearance frustrated so many advertisers. Nick then reveals a new way to achieve similar results using Meta's latest ad creation workflow, showing how you can finally see which images and videos are driving performance through ad breakdowns. If you're running Facebook ads on a smaller budget and want a smarter way to test creatives without creating dozens of separate ads, this episode walks you through a simple strategy that could make your campaigns far more efficient.

Nick Boddington, who remembers Dynamic Creative. Have any of you been running ads long enough to remember what Dynamic Creative was? It was amazing. you remember that little bit in the ad set still there, but now it says dynamic creative, no longer available because basically where we could add in multiple creators. Remember there's no remember this. Let's go back. Come on. Let's go back like five years. And that feature came out that we could tick the box inside our ad set, which allowed us, rather than having one creative, one headline, one primary text and one description, dynamic rated allowed us to add ten and then five headlines, five primary text and five. And five descriptions. Right. Getting there. Sorry, just the end of the day. It's Friday. It's getting to the end. And then we'll be able to run ads like that into one. So if we had a low spend like 20 or 30 pounds or whatever, even sometimes less back in those days, 5 or 10 meta would optimize them because it's all like in one ad, and we'd just give it different types of content, different types of messaging, all talking to our ICP. And it would just run. And then the magic of this was we would able to go into our ad set, into our columns, our ad columns, and go on to break down and then down at the bottom of the breakdown, we'd have dynamic creative, and then we could see what headlines, what we could see, what descriptions want, what image or video, what creative one. And then we could start right at the beginning, like rebuilding another ad to go, okay, so that creative one with that headline and then that description and that primary text, and then we could build another ad where it would be like the winner. So this is like going back to like 5 or 6 years where we would do this on purpose as a test to then build. And I think maybe it was even creative for that reason. I can't actually remember, but it went away. And you've seen her assets now that it's some work, some didn't, and it's just basically disappearing, which was a real pain because I loved Hey, while I've got you, I just wanted to ask. Would you like me to go into your ads manager and actually see what's working? Because I bet your ads aren't broken and I bet we can fix something. There's a reason our top clients stop guessing and start scaling.

Do it now before you forget, but make sure you come back to listen to the rest of the podcast. Enjoy! Then they brought in flexible, remember flexible, which was like same kind of set up. And you choose I want to do flexible creative and you're allowed to do all these different things that started and that was great as well. But the problem was you couldn't go to breakdowns, and every time you went to try and see the breakdown, it would just be like load, load, load, nothing would happen. Well, you know how they've now changed it again. So flexible has now gone dynamics creatives gone flexible are just not around for a long time. But you know now when you go and build an ad I'm saying you know now if you guys do this all the time, I'm hoping you do because you listen to this podcast, you go in to build the ad, and you can see now that you can put in ten different creatives, and you have that little line just at the bottom of the screen when you pop up opens and you can tick on them and they go and for down to the bottom you can untick them and they go back up to you with a bit of sound effects back up to the top. That there is now I'm saying, is basically the new dynamic creative because in my ad set and I've got YouTube video coming out Wednesday, which is after this comes out, but Michael will link the description to the YouTube once it's out to this podcast. you were my school community, I'll be posting it anyway. If you've got your email address, you'll see it on an email there. All the things I'm sending and if you don't join my free school community, go to the school forward, slash the ads clinic to join. It's free. So yeah, basically I'm seeing this new direct creative because I've recently done some tests in my own account ad account, and I've built it using the system that they're allowing us to. I haven't used all ten creative, just used some whatever. And then I go into my columns and I go to break down and I choose images or image. I think it says image video. And something else is that guys, it's there. Like, I could see that only one of them, I had one out of like the eight that went in there. But we've got that intelligence. It's amazing. So this is my way for smaller businesses to test, because if you don't, if you haven't got loads of budget, and you want to test well, you can go in, create one campaign, one ad set, put five ads images into that one ad. You could put some multiple headlines, multiple primary text and press go publish. It will run on you $20 or 20 pounds a day, and you will be able to go back into your columns and you will be able to select columns, breakdown images and videos, and it will show you which images and videos work. It's amazing because before we just couldn't see it and we knew it was happening, but we couldn't see it. So that kind of makes us just like, oh, we're all control freaks. We're human beings. We just want to be in control. And if we're not in control, it annoys us. So it's there, guys. That's it. Sort of got to say go and check it out, build some ads, put your creatives into it, but your headlines into it, run it for a few days and then go and see and have a look for yourself. I hope that helps. I'm happy you can tell them in a good mood because of this. It's like it's changing the game. I helped so many small businesses who are struggling with the new structures and all this sort of stuff. This could be great. It's going to really help small businesses get forward.
