New Ads Policy: Improving Integrity and Security of Financial Product and Services Ads

By Rob Leathern·Jan 30, 2018·2 min read

Summary

Facebook has introduced a new policy prohibiting ads for financial products like binary options, initial coin offerings, and cryptocurrency, which are often associated with misleading or deceptive practices. The policy aims to protect users from scams while allowing legitimate businesses to advertise. Enforcement will begin across Facebook, Audience Network, and Instagram, and will improve over time.

Facebook encourages users to report any ads that violate this policy.

Most businesses underestimate how ready they are for TikTok | TikTok For Business Blog

TikTok's UK/Europe scale (30M+ UK, 200M+ EU) and content graph make category objections obsolete. For ad ops, success comes from relevance, not trends: proof-led demos, explainers, reviews, and problem-solving content can reach high-intent audiences without a large follower base. Case studies show material performance: Toyota CPA -38%, BCP 10x registrations, Randstad 2.81% CTR/17M impressions, Prep Kitchen +44% conversion and +374% orders with Smart+, PureGym CPA -77%, HydroClean cost per conversation -74%. Action: test utility/creator content, use Smart+ for scaled creative testing, layer TopView on trusted content, and target niche communities rather than broad reach.
