B2B advertisers are increasingly turning to social to spread the word.
Unsurprisingly, LinkedIn is #1. Followed by Meta.
YouTube is riding the growing B2B video wave.

a VR headset is about withdrawing from interactions, whereas augmented reality is obviously about adding that layer onto existing reality. And so in that way, I think it's a lot more similar to a smartphone. So if you're trying to figure out what does the next platform look like, VR looks very different from that and AR looks much closer to the existing interactions we have while using our smartphones.
Why I’ve been on the AR bandwagon for years.
Meta reportedly rolled out an ad algorithm update in August. It caused a lot of volatility, but includes some nice sounding features.
You can assign certain audience profiles OR conversion types higher values
measure which conversions would not have happened w/o the ad being shown (true impact) AND optimize for these types of conversions
more emphasis on cross-channel journeys to drive incremental conversions.

Meta wants your holiday ad dollars, so it’s rolled out:
Posts with a lot of comments look to be more heavily weighted when it comes to what shows up in your Threads feed. That’s over re-shares and Likes, with the experiment seemingly suggesting that the Threads algorithm is geared towards incentivizing discussion over everything else.
This makes sense at first glance because commenting is the highest form of public engagement. And engagement is what Meta’s other apps struggle with.
So Meta wants engagement and the algorithms are primed to reward the actions the platform wants.
But this article raises a great point I hadn’t thought about—about what Meta really wants.
ROBOT FOOD!
What better input to train your social platform’s LLM on than public user conversations?
Snapchat will soon start “experimenting” with placing sponsored messages next to chat threads from friends, according to CEO Evan Spiegel.
These “Sponsored Snaps” from brands will appear as unread messages in Snapchat’s main Chat tab, implying that they’ll sit above messages from a person’s contacts until they’re acted on. This is the first time Snap will show ads in the most used part of its app.
Snap might be another early indicator. Have to imagine Meta is watching closely.
Apparently that “unknown” age range in Google Ads is mostly teenagers and younger users.
Google could use app downloads and online activity to determine “with a high degree of confidence” that the “unknown” group was populated by younger users.
I wonder what the percentage is.
New learnings from The Meta Rep™:
If you pause a campaign / ad set / ad, you have 7 days to turn it back on without losing any of the learnings it’s accrued.
After that 7 days you’re starting over.
