In 2022, Facebook remains a viable marketing channel for ecommerce brands, but it's no longer the 'Wild West' of easy, cheap acquisition. This episode emphasizes the need for a diversified marketing strategy beyond just Facebook ads due to evolving privacy changes like iOS 14/15. Brands must adapt by focusing on strong fundamentals, customer retention, and continuously learning to navigate the new advertising landscape.
