Meta Ads has launched a feature allowing users to run ads to grow their Instagram Broadcast Channels. These channels let creators share announcements, behind-the-scenes content, and event details. Followers can react, reply, and vote in polls but cannot send messages. Broadcast channels are public and discoverable by anyone on Instagram.
Steps to Create Ads for Instagram Broadcast Channel
Create a New Campaign:
- Select the 'Engagement' objective.
- If your Instagram account is linked to a Broadcast Channel, a new option will appear to invite people to your channel.
Ad Set Level:
- Choose 'Broadcast Channel' as the conversion location.
- All ads in this set will invite people to join your channel.
Ad Level:
- Select your Broadcast Channel as the ad's destination.

Reporting
- In Meta Ads Reporting, add the 'Broadcast channel joins' column to track the performance of your campaign.
Running this new ad format helps increase awareness and membership. When people join your Broadcast Channel, it appears in their Instagram inbox. Followers can react to your content but can't send messages. Broadcast Channels are an effective way to engage with followers, build a community, and strengthen brand connections.
