Well. This is a new one. π
I was just going about my day when my phone buzzed with a notification from the Ads Manager app.
Meta had decided - completely on its own, no input from me - to add music to 29 of my ads.
29.
TWENTY. NINE.
I didn't open Ads Manager. I didn't make a change. I didn't ask for this. My phone just buzzed and there it was - Meta letting me know what it had already done. Not asking. Not suggesting. Just... doing it. And sending me a little notification to let me know. How kind. π
I've genuinely never had this happen before. I had these features turned off. This campaign has been running well for two weeks and Meta just went ahead anyway.
And here's why this matters if you're running your own ads:
When Meta starts making changes without your knowledge, you lose control of what your audience is seeing. Music changes the entire feel of an ad. It changes the message. It changes whether someone stops scrolling - and not always in the way YOU would choose.
Your ads represent YOUR brand. Meta's job is to serve them. Not to redecorate them. π

If you're running ads right now - go and check your campaigns. Check your notifications. Make sure Meta hasn't decided to "help" you in ways you never asked for.
And if any of this feels overwhelming or you're not sure what you're looking at, that's exactly what I'm here for. DM me or book a free Discovery Call via the link in my bio. π
