Studio Shoots for mobile app brands on Facebook Marketplace

Podcast-style ads for mobile app on Facebook Marketplace
Podcast-style ads on Facebook Marketplace give mobile app brands full message control in 1:1, 15–30s format. App install ads blend into feeds and get swiped past. Podcast-style ads break the pattern by explaining the problem the app solves in a relatable, story-driven way that makes the download feel like a personal recommendation.
