At one time, Charles Tichenor was a top 100 advertiser on Facebook. On the platform, he frequently manages 7 figure budgets per DAY! In the early days, he managed FB ads for Apple, New Balance, major automotive brands, and more. Facebook gave him test budgets ranging from $10,000 to $50,000 per day to test new features and Betas.

Here’s a look at what we cover: How Facebook Advantage Plus ads give you an unfair advantage - and what you should do about it right now.
