Making It Easier to Build Mobile-First Video Ads

By Jonny Miller·Aug 22, 2018·5 min read

Video is highly effective for mobile customer engagement, but requires a mobile-first strategy. Mobile-optimized ads are 27% more likely to drive brand lift and 23% more likely to improve message association. Facebook's Creative Shop developed a framework to convert still image ads into lightweight video ads.

The Video Creation Kit enables advertisers to transform existing images and text into mobile-first videos in 1:1 or 9:16 formats. It offers four templates in Ads Manager or Facebook Page Publishing Tools: promote a product (6 seconds), sell multiple products (6 seconds), show product benefits (15 seconds), and drive product discovery (15 seconds). These templates follow a performance-optimized story arc to generate interest, promote offers, highlight features, or share brand uniqueness.
