Facebook Ads retargeting has changed.

If you’re still running separate cold audience and warm audience campaigns simply to show the same people your ads again, you could be overcomplicating your Meta Ads account and spreading your budget too thinly.

In this video, I explain how Meta retargeting works in 2026, what Advantage+ targeting now does automatically, and when a dedicated retargeting campaign still makes sense.

You’ll learn:

– How Facebook Ads retargeting works today
– Why old cold vs warm audience structures can hurt performance
– How Advantage+ can automatically retarget website visitors and engaged users
– When you should create a separate retargeting campaign
– How big your retargeting audience should be
– Why retargeting needs different creative and messaging
– Ecommerce retargeting strategies for abandoned carts
– How we use retargeting for webinar and lead generation campaigns

The key is simple:

Don’t create a retargeting campaign just because someone has previously interacted with your business.

Create one when you have a specific audience, specific message and specific reason to advertise to them again.

If you’re running Meta Ads, Facebook Ads or Instagram Ads and want to simplify your campaign structure while improving performance, this video explains how we approach retargeting inside our agency today.
