Free On-Demand Webinar · Watch Instantly

Meta’s new AI systems (Andromeda and Jem) have completely rewritten how ads get served, who sees them, and what actually works in 2026. If your Meta ROAS is slipping and you’re not sure why, this webinar is for you.

Why this webinar — and why now

25–30 min · Presented by Grace Glass, Paid Social Strategist at Optidge 

This is the same briefing Grace gave our internal team, updated and recorded for marketing leaders who want the straight story on Meta Ads AI.

Your Old Meta Playbook Is Working Against You

If you’ve been running Meta ads for a few years, you probably built your approach around detailed audience targeting: layering interests, building lookalikes, A/B testing every element until you found the winning combination.

That approach isn’t just less effective. In 2026, it’s actively holding you back.

Meta’s AI has fundamentally shifted what it rewards. The platform no longer cares as much about how narrow your targeting is. It’s reading your creative (interpreting what’s in your ads, who they’re meant for, and whether they signal the right intent) and using that to decide who sees them.

If your creative strategy hasn’t kept up, you’re likely seeing the problems below. This isn’t a budget problem. It’s a strategy problem, and it has a fix.

What You'll Learn in This Free Webinar

Grace Glass, Paid Social Strategist at Optidge, breaks down exactly what changed, why it matters, and what to do about it: in plain language, with real examples.

Andromeda: Why Creative Is Now the Targeting

Meta’s ad ranking system no longer waits for you to tell it who your audience is. It reads your creative (the visuals, the copy, the hooks) and uses that to make the decision itself. You’ll learn what that means for how you build and structure campaigns.

The Creative Diversification Framework

The days of minor A/B iterations are over. Andromeda rewards genuinely different creative: new personas, new messaging angles, new visual styles. We’ll walk through the exact framework our team uses with every client to build diverse creative at scale.

Jem: Meta's New Central Brain for Ad Serving

Jem is Meta’s unified learning engine that now ties together data across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads for the first time. We’ll explain what that means for your organic content strategy, and why the two sides of the house need to be working in sync.

How We've Changed Our Workflow at Optidge

From quarterly creative sprints to AI-assisted ideation, we share what we’ve actually changed in how we build and manage paid social campaigns, and what’s working.

What Makes a Good Meta Advertiser in 2026

Not every business is a great fit for Meta right now. We’ll help you assess whether your product, creative flexibility, and campaign goals set you up for success, or whether something needs to shift first.
