Meta is Releasing 3 NEW Metrics: Creative Similarity (what this means for you)

Jason Yim from Meta just shared a new reporting suite rolling out. 

This isn't just another dashboard update.

This validates the hypothesis we've been pushing for months.

The 3 New Metrics:

1. Creative Fatigue:

Your audience has seen the same creative too many times. 

Engagement drops, performance tanks, CPMs rise.

Now you'll be able to track it.

2. Creative Similarity:

Meta's algorithm sees your ads as visually identical, even when you think they're different. 

Similar ads get treated as one data file. 

Performance of one similar ad gets assumed for all untested variants.

3. Top Creative Themes

Distribution of active ads and spend across creative themes: humor, nostalgia, savings, social proof.

This is the end of lazy creative iteration.

Changing copy or swapping background colors won't move the needle much anymore. 

Meta's similarity score will likely expose it.

The New Protocol:

→ Net new visuals + net new messaging

Every ad needs to be visually and narratively distinct. No shortcuts.

→ Micro-persona targeting 

Different audience segments demand different creative approaches. 

One creative theme across your entire funnel = creative similarity penalty.

→ Multiple creative partners 

Working with various creators and agencies ensures aesthetic differentiation.

One design team = one visual style = similarity clustering.

→ Wider brand guidelines 

Strict brand aesthetics are now a performance liability. 

Your guidelines need to expand to accommodate multiple styles that appeal to different personas.

Q4 Planning:

If you're still running 12 variants of the same ad with minor tweaks, your CPMs are about to get punished harder than ever.

Start building true creative diversity now. 

Different visuals, different messaging, different personas, different partners.

The brands that diversify their creative ecosystem early will dominate Q4. 

Everyone else will be scrambling with inflated costs.

Most Brands Are Still Running Meta Ads Like It's 2024...

Sequential learning changed everything and nobody updated their creative strategy.

You're still testing random hooks hoping something sticks instead of building actual customer journeys that Meta's algorithm can learn from.

Here's what's different now:

Meta doesn't just optimize for conversions anymore. 

It optimizes for WHO converts and WHAT content moves them through the journey.

That means persona-specific creative sequences beat random creative testing every single time.

I'm giving away my complete 2026 Meta Creative Strategy White Paper.

This isn't a PDF with generic tips. 

This is the complete framework I use with 7-8 figure brands to build creative that actually works with Meta's algorithm:

What's inside:

- How to research and identify the actual personas worth building creative for
- Building complete customer journeys mapped to Meta's sequential learning
- Turning journeys into highly diverse creative briefs your team can execute
- The 4 types of creative you need to cover every stage properly
- How to ensure real creative diversity (not just hook variations)
- Organic-first creativ e approaches that work in feed without looking like ads
- Creative tracking and organization systems with proper naming conventions
- Breaking down what each persona needs to see at top, middle, and bottom of funnel to actually convert

This is the exact process I use to develop creative roadmaps for luxury and high-AOV brands running serious spend.

Most consultants package this as a $2k+ course.

You're getting it free because I'd rather see brands actually leverage sequential learning correctly than keep watching the same tired strategies fail.

The Website Is Dead. Shopify Just Accelerated Its Funeral.

Shopify dropped their Universal Commerce Protocol yesterday, and most DTC brands are completely missing what this actually means:

Your website will be irrelevant within 5 years.

The New Buying Behavior:

Your future customer won't browse your site. 

They'll ask Gemini "find me a minimalist weekender bag under $300" and buy instantly without ever knowing your URL exists.

The point of discovery IS the point of purchase now.

What Shopify Just Enabled:

- Native checkout in ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity
- Open protocol (UCP) co-developed with Google 
- A new"Agentic plan" for ANY brand (even non-Shopify stores)

Your products syndicated across every AI platform from one integration.

Why This Changes Everything:

Amazon already lets users set price triggers for auto-purchase. 

That's just the beginning.

In 24 months, consumers will delegate purchasing decisions to AI entirely. 

"Restock my essentials when prices drop 15%." 

Done.

The brands that win? 

The ones building AI discoverability infrastructure TODAY.

How To Actually Get Started (The Tactical Breakdown):

→ Go to your Shopify Admin and enable Agentic Storefronts 
→ Install Knowledge Base app to control brand narrative and FAQs 
→ Toggle individual platforms on/off (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity) 
→ Choose your checkout flow: embedded in-chat OR redirect to your store
→ One-time setup syndicates your products to all AI platforms via Shopify Catalog 

For Non-Shopify Brands:

→ You DON'T need a Shopify online store 
→ Plug your existing product catalog into Shopify's infrastructure 
→ You become discoverable across ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Shop app
→ Sign up for Shopify's "Agentic plan" waitlist (this is the game-changer) 
→ Shopify routes orders to your existing OMS, integrates with your PIM/tax systems 


Shopify Catalog uses specialized LLMs to categorize and enrich your data. 

Clean feeds = better AI discoverability.

Group products by standard attributes and metafields so AI accurately presents your offerings in searches.

Track FAQs, policies, brand voice. Control how AI answers customer questions about returns, shipping, product details.

onitor which AI platforms drive conversions. You get full visibility into search trends and customer questions.

This paves the way for AI ads and sponsored placements. 

Google's already testing "Direct Offers" pilot exclusive deals served directly in AI Mode.

Just like Google search ads disrupted Yellow Pages, AI recommendation ads will disrupt Meta/Google.

The brands investing in AI channel presence now will own category dominance when the inflection point hits.

Gen Alpha won't "go to a website." That phrase will sound as dated as "look it up in the encyclopedia."

The infrastructure for that future just went live. 

Most brands are still optimizing their homepage hero sections....

The Biggest Meta Advertising Mistake in 2026:

Brands still optimizing for individual ad performance instead of journey performance.

Here’s what changed:

Meta doesn’t care about your “best” ad anymore. 

They care about your best sequence.

Sequential Learning optimizes for entire customer journeys, not isolated conversions.

Your ads get intentionally sequenced to build conversion paths. 

Meta decides the order based on what actually converts over the full journey.

The mistake:

Killing high-spend, low-ROAS ads.

That awareness asset eating 15% of budget with a 1.2 ROAS? 

It’s probably the first touch making your 4x ROAS retargeting work.

Spend distribution = Meta’s confidence in an asset’s role in the journey.

Your top 10-20% spending cohort IS your customer journey.

How to map it:

→ Track CPMR + Frequency + customer breakdown to identify funnel position

→ Map average touches to conversion

→ Identify the gaps

Most brands have zero creative addressing mid-funnel objections.

The fix:

Pull your support tickets. Pull your reviews.

Common customer questions = missing journey steps.

→ Warranty concerns? Make an ad.

→ Sizing questions? Make an ad.

→ Comparison to competitors? Make an ad.

If it’s a question in support, it needs creative in your journey.

Think landing page ecosystem, not individual ads.

Every potential concern needs addressable creative.

Every persona needs their own journey built.

→ Technical buyers need specs and proof points

→ Social buyers need testimonials and social proof

→ Value buyers need guarantees and risk reversal

Going into 2026:

Stop optimizing for last-touch attribution.

Start mapping journey cohorts, build creative that fills the gaps, then let Meta sequence it.

The algorithm is smarter than your media buyer. 

Your job is giving it the right assets to work with.

This is the biggest opportunity on Meta right now (almost no one is leveraging it yet)

Persona-based customer journeys...

And the ones that are implementing are seeing performance like it's 2016.

Here's the framework:

First, breakdown your customer file into 3-8 personas.

The two biggest variables that separate your personas:

1. Why do they actually buy?

For Utility products: What problem are they solving?
For Aesthetic products: What identity/emotion are they trying to achieve

Example, Utility: You sell a weight loss supplement to women.

(I'll be using this example for the remainder of the post)

Some buy it to look better to feel more confident to go on more dates.

Others buy to lose weight so they can play with their kids easier.

Same product. Different motivation. Different journey. Different persona.

2. What emotions is this persona most susceptible to?

Use Ocean personality framework (Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Neuroticism).

The mom wanting to play with her kids? 

Possibly higher agreeableness + conscientiousness.

She's relationship-focused. Feels responsible for being present.

Your ads therefore should leverage nurturance. Family bonds. Missing moments with her kids.

Match emotion to persona. That's conversion.

After you map out your personas (buying reasons, emotional triggers, demographics, behaviors), identify what they need to believe to BE TRUE to buy.

From a first principles standpoint: 

That weight loss supplement buyer who wants to play with her kids needs to believe:

1. Losing weight = playing with kids easier
2. Your product will help her lose weight
3. No side effects 
4. The value > the cost

If she believes all four, she buys.

Your creative strategy needs to build the beliefs through the susceptible emotions and allow Meta to sequence each touchpoint.

All while providing visual and messaging variety to appeal to the vast sub segments within each persona. 

Meaning creating different:

- Concepts
- Ad formats
- Mediums
- Production styles, etc.

All to reinforce the first principle beliefs that need to be held true to initiate a conversion. 

Why this works:

Sequential Learning optimizes for journey clusters, not individual ads.

Meta wants persona-specific creative across the funnel so it can sequence intelligently.

Most brands can't execute because it requires restructuring creative, measurement, and media buying.

That's the gap.

Map your personas → emphasize the "why" and emotional states → identify first principles beliefs to make the why true → build creative by persona and funnel position → test persona clusters by funnel postion → scale winners.

This is key to profitable scale on Meta in 2026.

How to Make VIRAL Persona Led Ads on Meta at Scale

(Leveraging Sequential Learning)

Meta's algorithm now optimizes for complete customer journeys across personas.

Meaning, you need a full funnel of creative for every persona, at every buying stage stage.

Writing 3-8 creative variations per persona while maintaining voice consistency?

That's where creative teams break down.

But there is a solution:

AI Persona Projects.

One Claude Project (or Gemini Gem or ChatGPT GPT) for each persona.

Load it with your brand intelligence. 

Then use it two ways:

1. Emulate the Persona for brainstorming angles and concepts. 

Ask your persona questions directly. 

"What would make you stop scrolling?" 
"How would you describe this to a friend?"

2. Write As Them for copy, text overlays, and video scripts calibrated to that persona's psychology and voice.

How It Actually Works:

You create a dedicated project for each persona.

When you need to make content for that persona, you open that specific project.

Building TOF low market sophistication ads for the self-purchasing millennial? 

Open her project. Chat with her and have her write the copy.

Switching to MOF ads for the luxury mom? 

Switch to her project.

This is your brainstorming partner for angles, your writer for scripts, your consistency engine for voice across your entire creative library and team.

20 Meta Hot Takes Few Media Buyers Admit...

1. High CPMs are good     

2. Hook rate has minimal impact on revenue     

3. Incrementality is the only truth  

4. Broad targeting will always outperform over the long run     

5. You have to choose between predictable volume or predictable efficiency (control vs. lowest)  

6. 3rd party attribution in ‘21 was a scam     

7. You need 70%+ margins or a 2-3X 12 month LTV to really scale     

8. Statics are the most efficient way to test new angles  

9. The majority of metrics on the platform are useless  

10. Spend is the greatest indicator of performance

11. Audience exclusions are just suggestions

12. Incremental attribution > 7DC

13. Test on lowest scale on cost control

14. Offer strategy > creative strategy

15. Low production usually beats high prod. 

16. Organic feeds outperform ad libraries for inspo

17. Partnership ads are the best way to get net new reach

18. Creative volume is a vanity metric/agenda pushed by Big Creative

19. Increasing TAM is the solution to an endemic rise in CPAs

20. Make it a gummy subscription and you'll win

Meta's CMO just said measurement doesn't matter.

(And he's right.)

But there's a lot more nuance...

Alex Schultz, CMO & VP of Analytics at Meta said in his new book:

"If you need a data scientist and a microscope to determine if your marketing had an impact, well then, it didn't."

Here's the full context:

Schultz literally ran both marketing AND analytics at Meta.

Self-described "numbers nerd" who championed measurement his entire career.

But when he took over as CMO, teams started measuring everything to impress him. 

One team tried to statistically measure the impact of a 100-person client event.

Impossible, but they tried anyway.

During Meta's 2022-2023 budget cuts, teams became obsessed with proving ROI to protect budgets. 

Result? 

Killed creativity and risk-taking.

They delivered on core jobs but missed upside.

His actual take:

"Not everything that matters can be measured, and not everything that can be measured matters. Don't let perfect measurement be the enemy of great impact."

He even says: 

"I don't trust a team that never fails in their goals. Either they're measuring wrong or the goals they set are far too easy to reach."

You try to measure everything. 

You're under pressure to make every dollar count.

But when you account for true lifetime value (~80 years), word-of-mouth runoff effects, all the touchpoints people need to become customers, and how to spread credit among channels...

You can do all the data science you want. 

All the holdout tests. 

All the incrementality studies.

But at the end of the day, we're doing billboard ads.

It's an image on a screen. 

People scroll past. 

Might influence the sale, might not.

Incrementality studies change month-to-month, quarter-to-quarter, seasonally. 

Holdout tests can miss long-tail LTV curves. 

Attribution models break with lengthy consideration cycles.

Schultz's actual approach:

→ Keep it simple. One North Star metric. Everything else is telemetry. 
→ Measure what can be measured really well 
→ Be clear when something can't be measured 
→ If you do the first well, you'll be trusted on the second

At the end of the day look at revenue. Look at spend.

The brands winning right now aren't the ones with the most complex attribution models.

They're the ones who launch fast enough to see obvious results, test creative aggressively where winners are unmistakable, scale channels where revenue impact is clear, and kill what's not working before needing 6 weeks of analysis.

If you need a PhD to explain your marketing ROI to your CFO, you probably don't have ROI.

Most Premium/Luxury Brand's Ads Fail Because They're Trying Too Hard to Sell...

Here's what actually works: black and white. 

No flashy colors. 

No aggressive CTAs. 

Just strategic creative that understands customer journey architecture.

Ad 1: The Monaco Association Play (Top of Funnel)

The blurred Rolex poster. 

The Monaco circuit. 

The aerospace-grade copy. All triggering association bias.

You're not selling a phone case. 

You're associating your product with a lifestyle, a persona, a world.

Meta's algorithm picks up on these visual cues. 

The F1 car, the Monaco setting, it knows. 

And it serves this to people already in that psychographic profile.

Notice what you don't see: the actual product. 

Just a glimpse of the case. 

That's intentional. 

A feed puller ad designed to spark curiosity, not close a sale. 

First-touch, not last-click.

Ad 2: The Visceral Simplicity Approach (Top of Funnel)

"No more cold feet."

One clear benefit. 

One striking visceral image you can literally feel. 

EU-made alpaca socks frozen in ice.

The visceral imagery principle: you don't just see the product, you experience it through the creative. 

The cold, the texture, the warmth you'd get from the solution.

Most brands would plaster this with feature callouts, guarantees, pricing. 

That's middle-funnel thinking in a top-funnel moment. 

You lose the organic feed presence that makes people actually engage.

Ad 3: The Investment Reframe (Bottom of Funnel)

"14k Solid Gold. Investment."

Price justification without being defensive about price. 

It reframes the purchase through multiple psychological mechanisms:

→ Anchoring: Gold's current market value creates inherent value perception 
→ Dual investment: Meaning plus material value
→ Temporal framing: "Becoming more personal with time" triggers endowment effect 

"Real luxury is in the details and the legacy it leaves behind."

Double meaning. Product craftsmanship plus relationship significance.

How fashion and jewelry brands actually create bottom-of-funnel content without resorting to discount codes and countdown timers.

The Pattern Most Brands Miss:

You can't build customer journeys with one ad type.

You need:

→ Top-of-funnel organic feed pullers (not sales pitches) 
→ Mid-funnel educational/social proof content
→ Bottom-of-funnel conversion optimization (without cheapening the brand)

Most premium brands I audit have 90% top-of-funnel lifestyle content and nothing to actually convert warm audiences.

Or worse: they try to sell in every ad and kill their organic reach.

The performance is found in the journey you build through a planned sequence of creatives.

9 Meta Truths Media Buyers Hate to Admit:

1. Spend is the MOST important metric.

Not ROAS. Not purchase value. 

Spend = Meta's confidence in your asset. 

It's the output of all their AI and data.

Most scaling mistakes happen because people ignore where Meta actually puts their money.

2. Run your own retargeting for $300+ products.

Don't let Meta handle it automatically. 

With proper setup, you get actual incremental value, not just pulled-forward sales.

3. 7-day click + incremental attribution wins on average.

Tested across dozens of accounts. 

Consistently outperforms other setups for most brands.

4. 90% of metrics are useless.

Hook rates, CTR, cost per click not even correlated with revenue.

Plot twist: Higher CPMs actually correlate with BETTER performance.

5. Your scaling problem is promotional content.

Your ads only appeal to people who already know your product. 

Top-funnel creative should blend into feeds organically.

Test: If your ads would work as organic posts, they're probably good ads.

6. Media buying = budget control.

CBO, ABO, cost controls are just different ways to control dollar flow per asset.

7. You don't need fancy tools until mid-eight figures.

CAPI + Meta attribution = enough data. 

Triple Whale att. will just confuse you.

8. Success is 80% product-market fit + offer + angle.

Everything else is optimization theatrics.

9. Most bad performance = you don't understand your market.

Not about design or production quality. 

You don't know what customers actually care about.

Talk to real people more. Read more reddit.

Tweak ads less.
