Facebook Advertising for DTC Brands

Facebook advertising dominates the DTC brand landscape. Across the brands tracked in GoMarble's ad library, Facebook is a universal placement — every brand runs ads on the platform. The format mix skews toward image-first creative, with most brands running 60-70% static image ads and 30-40% video. Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) is the dominant delivery method, allowing Meta's algorithm to test creative variants automatically.

Video ads on Facebook average 8-20 seconds and feature UGC-style content — authentic product reviews, try-on reactions, and unboxing clips. The most common call-to-action is SHOP_NOW, directing traffic to product pages and collections. Brands like SKIMS and Gymshark use Facebook as their primary volume driver, running hundreds of active creatives simultaneously.

Facebook's ad ecosystem supports the full funnel: awareness through video views, consideration through engagement, and conversion through dynamic product ads (DPA). The brands in this library leverage all of these, with DPA ads often running for 500+ days as evergreen retargeting creatives.
