Episode notes

In this final part of our four-part series on why Meta remains the top platform for scaling in 2026, we continue analysing the evolution of Meta’s advertising engine. From the days of custom audience uploads in 2012 to the impact of the 2016 election and the fallout from the Cambridge Analytica scandal, these milestones have shaped the platform’s current landscape.

We also explore how the iOS 14 update and the rise of TikTok have pushed Meta to adapt and innovate in ways that make 2026 the best time to advertise on the platform. Central to these innovations is the Andromeda algorithm and creative diversification, which are set to revolutionize your advertising strategy.

You’ll discover how you can leverage these advancements to refine your marketing strategy, understand what the Andromeda update means for your campaigns, and why the future of advertising on Meta has never been more promising.
