Dynamic Creative is a Game Changer – Achieve 3X Better Results

TL;DR: Dynamic Creative automates manual A/B testing so that you can deliver ideal creatives to the target audience that is most likely to act on your ad. Here, we will cover how the Dynamic Creative process works, how it improves ROI, what the best practices are, how to use it and how it has been successfully applied by one of our clients.

Traditional A/B testing

Traditionally, A/B testing was a manual process where you had to discover which audience responded to which ad by creating fully formatted ads and then test each of them individually and manually. This process is time-consuming, heavy on manual labor and only allows you to effectively test one variable at a time (creative or target market). 

Dynamic Creative Optimization - Old versus new way
Dynamic Creative – the future of ads creation

This time-consuming process has been replaced by a new technology which automatically evaluates every creative aspect of an ad and applies them to various audiences through machine learning. With Dynamic Creative, all you need to do is upload all of your creative assets (headlines, texts, descriptions, and images) and select one broad audience to be placed into a single “pot”.

The perfect balance- dynamic creatives and reaching the right audience

The DC technology automatically creates variants of ads and matches them with various audience subgroups. Up to 100 such variations may be created, thus out-counting the realistic possibilities of manual A/B testing. 
Different ads combinations for different audiences
Facebook uses part of your budget to feed machine learning; which combination of creatives is efficient for which audience. The bigger the budget you set up the more you teach the algorithm but it can be slow so be patient and do not turn off or edit campaigns in the first 2 days.

This way, ads are tested automatically, making it easy for the right ads to be served to the right peopleAs you can see in the graph below, DC will be able to determine the best performing combinations of the creatives and audience within 2-3 days, and optimize against your CPC, Website Conversions or Mobile App Installs (see the red-orange line).

Results will show after about 3 days

Since each combination will be matched to its audience, your ads will have bigger reach thanks to a better relevance score and CTR. You shouldn’t look for the best image and copy but only try to improve upon the worst assets to reach even more people.

What would happen if you decided to use only the best of each asset? Your ad would reach only the part of the audience which is suitable for that combination and you could miss a huge part of your audience which would be reached by other combinations.

Dynamic Creative and Carousel ads

It is also possible to use this function with the Carousel ad format. DC carousel uses your texts and images to create the best performing combination of cards. All cards will be directed to one destination URL. Facebook will display 10 cards in the live ads.
