Ad Set = Audience An ad set should contain ads targeting the same audience segment (ex: F 18-24 Android) so you can easily compare and optimize audiences by adjusting schedules, budgets, or turning ON/OFF ad sets. Ad = Creative Multiple ads should be created in each ad set so our system can optimize for variations in placement (News Feed vs. RHS), images, video, text, or destination. 11
