Mastering Facebook Ad Objectives: A Complete Guide for Effective Advertising

🧱 Lesson 1: Campaign vs. Ad Set vs. Ad

Facebook Ads are built in three levels, each serving a unique purpose:

Level

Purpose

Campaign

Sets the main objective (e.g. Traffic)

Ad Set

Controls budget, audience, and schedule

Ad

The actual creative — image, video, text

🔍 Explanation:

  • Campaign: You choose what you want to achieve (e.g. reach, engagement).

  • Ad Set: You define who should see the ad, when, and where.

  • Ad: You create what people will see — your message and visuals.

Example:
If you’re promoting an online MSCE course:

  • Campaign Objective: Traffic

  • Ad Set: Target Form 4 students in Malawi, age 16–20

  • Ad: A short video showing benefits of the course with a “Sign Up” button
