Episode description

Ralph and Lauren are getting into the nuances of Meta’s audience segmentation and why relying solely on in-app metrics could be costing you big. They break down how Meta categorizes audiences into "new," "engaged," and "existing" and why that distinction is crucial for optimizing ad spend. If you’ve ever wondered whether your ad dollars are actually bringing in new customers or just retargeting the same warmed-up leads, this is the episode for you. Plus, Lauren shares an eye-opening moment from a recent mastermind, telling us just how many high-revenue brands are still dropping the ball on AI-driven customer engagement. Get ready for some critical insights, a little beachside humor, and the one Meta Ads setting you must double-check today.
