Logic Used

The creative count is calculated using Meta 3-2-2 principles and scaling factors:

  • Baseline by Goal: Traffic=4, Conversions=6, App=6, Video=5, Reach=3 creatives minimum
  • Budget Multiplier: Under $500=0.75x, $500 to $2000=1x, $2000 to $10000=1.5x, Over $10000=2x
  • Audience Multiplier: Under 1M=0.75x, 1M to 10M=1x, Over 10M=1.25x
  • Final Count: Baseline * Budget Multiplier * Audience Multiplier, minimum 3 creatives
  • Fatigue Timeline: Days = Audience Size * Target Frequency divided by Impressions per Day
  • Impressions per Day: Weekly Budget divided by CPM * 1000 divided by 7

3-2-2 Rule means: 3 concepts, 2 formats per concept, 2 aspect ratios. This ensures diversity while maintaining enough budget per creative for Meta learning phase.
