After selecting the desired marketing objective for the campaign, you are required to name the campaign. The name of the marketing Ad campaign should be eye-catching and interesting. After that, your next destination will be the Ad Set Screen where you can select the place where you want to get the traffic, for instance, messenger, website, and the App (in case there is an application available for your product). It is all up to you.
The Ad Set Screen also allows you to select the kind of audience that you want to show your ad to. You can set the audience as per your wish and can also create your audience. There is also an option of creating the Custom Audience on Facebook, where you can target your desired audience.
