Facebook is always trying to be close to people and be an important tool in Facebook & Instagram user lives.
Over 1.6 billion people around the world are connected to a small business on Facebook. People and businesses alike have told us they want even easier ways to connect.
That's why Facebook recently highlighted where are now focusing. Hereby a summary:

By November 2017, Facebook announced the Campaign Budget Optimization. A new way to maximize Facebook & Instagram Campaigns and ensure better Return On Ad Spent (ROAS). During the firsts months of 2018, the roll out has been done.
How does the Campaign Budget Optimization work?
When setting up a Campaign, select the "Optimize budget across ad sets" option.
With this option, Facebook will automatically distribute your Budget between all your Ad Sets to get the best results.
Despite the fact Facebook says is the current best way to Optimize your campaigns... doubt it!
As always, test it and analyze it :)
This is not new but at least worthy of being known.
Based on the assumption of experts saying... that one of the best ways to prevent suicide is for those in distress to hear from people who care about them.
Facebook is in a unique position — through friendships on the site — to help connect a person in distress with people who can support them.

Who has not suffered from different Attribution Models between the two Digital Marketing Giants, Facebook & Google? At least in the US and Europe one can clearly say that these two giants have a Duopoly when it comes to Digital Media Spend (>60% in the US in 2017).
However, up until this year they never really communicated between each other and therefore lead their customers to wrong conclusions because every one attributed the conversions mainly to themselves.
This could result for example in the scenario where an eCommerce Owners sees in Shopify 10 Sales per day, but Google says that 7 from them come form AdWords an Facebook says that 8 of them come from Facebook Ads. But where do the 5 additional sales come from?
Well, they basically come from double-attribution which is now finally tackled by the biggest Data-Transfer-Project of Digital Marketing World.
