Ad Variations
Ad variations are strategically developed versions of ad creative that modify specific elements for testing or audience targeting purposes. Each variation is created with clear hypotheses about performance impact, whether testing individual elements through A/B testing, exploring element interactions via multi-variate testing, or targeting different audience segments. These variations enable data-driven creative optimization through systematic performance comparison.
