Facebook Brings Machine Learning Into Dynamic Ads Creation Process: Facebook is applying machine learning to help brands “automatically deliver more tailored ad experiences to each person” and create “personalized ads that can scale.” According to Facebook, this solution can be leveraged within Facebook dynamic ads created for catalog sales, traffic, and conversion objectives in Ads Manager or via the Marketing API.

Facebook Adds More Monetization and Management Updates for Video Creators and Publishers: In addition to expanding Brand Collabs Manager and Facebook Stars “in the coming weeks,” Facebook is also introducing a new data visualization in Creator Studio called Traffic Source Insights. With this new tool, publishers and creators will clearly see how their content is distributed across Facebook and be able to optimize for each source.

These updates include Donate stickers for Facebook Stories and a “Donate” button for the Instagram profiles of nonprofit organizations.
