How to Leverage AI for 40% Higher Conversions in Facebook Ads?

The digital marketing arena is being transformed by Meta’s AI innovation. As revealed in their Q1 2025 earnings call, time spent on Meta platforms has surged—with Threads experiencing a staggering 35% increase in engagement. Ben & Jerry's demonstrated this potential by achieving 7% higher click-through rates using AI-generated creatives, while PRESS Healthfoods saw a 40% conversion boost through Meta's automated solutions. These aren't isolated successes—they're indicators of a broader transformation where AI, video content, and conversational commerce are redefining what's possible in Facebook Ads and social media marketing. For businesses still relying on traditional methods, the message is clear: adapt or risk being left behind in this new era of intelligent advertising.

1. Leveraging AI for Enhanced Facebook Ads Performance

Meta's advertising ecosystem has evolved into an AI-driven powerhouse, with tools like the Generative Ads Recommendation Model (GEM) delivering up to 5% higher conversion rates in early tests for Facebook Ads. The financial upside is irrefutable: For every $1 invested in AI-powered campaigns, businesses generate $4.52 in return—a 22% improvement over traditional ads methods.

Take Ben & Jerry's, for example. By deploying Meta's advanced, high-performance, fast catalog and using generative AI to generate dynamic background images in their ads, they not only saw an aesthetic improvement, but also a measurable improvement in performance. What sets these tools apart is their democratized ease of use. Features like Opportunity Scoring provide actionable optimization recommendations for Facebook Ads, enabling early adopters to reduce median cost per placement by 5%.

For advertisers, the strategic approach is to view AI as a force multiplier rather than a replacement for human creativity. These systems excel at testing thousands of creative variations, predicting high-value audiences, and adjusting bids in real time. A phased rollout is critical: start with Advantage+ Shopping campaigns, then scale with advanced tools like Andromeda to optimize Facebook Ads across channels.

2. Improve customer engagement through video content and business messaging platforms

Video has gone from being a nice-to-have to a core element of your Facebook Ads strategy. Video consumption on the Meta platform in the United States has been growing at a double-digit rate year after year, showing unlimited business opportunities. Vaseline’s Cocoa Brightening campaign is a good example, which increased ad recall by 12.3 percentage points by launching a mobile-friendly video during awards season and combining it with celebrity endorsements. At the same time, the rise of generative AI tools has also lowered the threshold for video production. Data shows that the application rate of Meta's AI creative tools in Facebook advertising increased by 30% last quarter. This growth is fueled by features like "image animation," which turns static product shots into dynamic videos in Ads Manager, and "video extension," an AI-powered function that auto-adjusts video aspect ratios.

Kitsch’s Meta Business AI example demonstrates the potential of this type of platform, with an AI assistant that not only answers customer questions but also analyzes preferences and recommends personalized hair care plans, creating a virtuous cycle that optimizes future Facebook Ads results. In short, combining video content innovation with personalized interaction on business messaging platforms has become a key strategy for brands to increase customer engagement.

3. Threads: The Emerging Platform for Brand-Consumer Connections

With 350 million monthly active users (MAUs) and a 35% surge in engagement over the past six months, Threads is rapidly evolving into Meta’s next flagship social platform. Unlike traditional platforms, Threads thrives on text-centric, conversational dynamics—75% of users actively follow businesses, creating a unique environment for authentic, low-friction engagement rather than overt sales pitches.

Wendy’s early adoption strategy exemplifies Threads’ potential. By extending their distinctive brand voice into public, searchable conversations, they leveraged the platform’s real-time interaction model to foster community and amplify brand personality. Just as Facebook Ads have transformed digital marketing, Meta’s recent global rollout of Threads ads (now default-enabled for Reach, Traffic, and Conversion campaigns) adds a performance layer to these organic efforts. This integration allows brands to monetize engagement while maintaining authenticity, similar to how Facebook Ads have helped businesses optimize their reach and conversions across other Meta platforms.

For marketers, success on Threads demands a distinct content strategy divergent from Instagram’s visual focus. Prioritize:

Industry commentary and thought leadership: Share insights or reactions to trends to position your brand as a credible voice, and consider using Threads ads in tandem with Facebook Ads to widen your reach across Meta’s ecosystem.
Customer Q&As and real-time support: Use Threads’ threaded replies to address queries publicly, enhancing transparency. You can also drive traffic to these helpful conversations with targeted Facebook Ads.
Cultural participation: Align with trending topics or memes to demonstrate relevance without hard-selling, then boost the visibility of these engaging posts using Threads ads and complementary Facebook Ads strategies.

As the platform matures, expect Meta to introduce AI-powered tools for sentiment analysis and trending topic identification, further refining brands’ ability to navigate Threads’ unique conversational ecosystem. For now, the imperative is clear: integrate Threads into your cross-channel campaigns alongside Facebook Ads, experiment with its hybrid organic-paid ad model, and cultivate a tone that resonates with its highly engaged, dialogue-driven audience.

4. Collaborating with Creators for Authentic Brand Storytelling

Meta’s $1 billion investment in creator tools reflects a fundamental shift: 40% of shoppers now rely on creator recommendations when shopping. BoohooMAN’s experiment quantified this impact – adding creator-led ads to its ad mix brought in 35% more new customers compared to standard campaigns. Magic happens when brands go beyond one-time sponsorships and build ongoing partnerships, allowing creators to become true product experts.

As a professional marketing service platform, Topkee understands the value of the creator economy and can help brands better capitalize on this trend. Topkee can also help brands quickly match the most suitable creators and develop effective cooperation strategies through its powerful resource integration capabilities and professional tools. Provide creative proposals and content optimization suggestions in the process to ensure the effective delivery of brand information. This approach produces authentic materials and amplifies them through Meta’s collaborative advertising system, combining the credibility of creators with precise algorithmic positioning.

Topkee will continue to pay attention to and make rational use of Meta's emerging tools, and develop more advanced solutions to help brands produce professional-grade branded content on a large scale, further enhancing their competitiveness in the creator economy.

5. Seasonal Marketing Strategies for Maximum ROI (Bonus Insight)

The often-overlooked Q5 period (late December to mid-January) represents a unique opportunity, particularly for gaming and retail brands. Meta's data reveals CPA reductions up to 22% below pre-holiday levels, coupled with sustained high engagement as users explore new devices received as gifts. PRESS Healthfoods' 40% conversion lift using AI-powered seasonal campaigns demonstrates what's possible. The winning formula involves early planning (starting creative development by October), budget flexibility to capitalize on shifting CPMs, and deploying Advantage+ shopping campaigns with generative AI to automatically adapt messaging for post-holiday contexts. For gaming brands specifically, this period sees remarkable behavioral shifts—casino game installs jump 19% year-over-year as users seek entertainment during downtime. The strategic use of automated bidding during this window can establish customer relationships that pay dividends throughout the year.

Conclusion

The convergence of AI innovation, video dominance, and conversational commerce has created unprecedented opportunities for brands willing to embrace Meta's evolving toolkit for Facebook Ads. From Ben & Jerry's AI-enhanced creatives to PRESS Healthfoods' automated campaign breakthroughs, the evidence is overwhelming—those who leverage these technologies gain measurable competitive advantages.
