Guilherme Rezende 

Growth Marketer

Amid changes to online data collection and restrictions on ad targeting insights, Meta has been developing new machine learning-based ad targeting models.

To address this challenge, Meta has introduced 'Meta Lattice,' a new ad delivery process that utilizes multiple data points and predictive technologies to improve ad response predictions.
