What is an Ad Messaging Canvas?
An Ad Messaging Canvas is a structured brief that aligns your creative, media-buying, brand, and performance teams around who you're talking to, what you're saying, why it should work, and how you'll measure it. Skip it and you ship inconsistent ads that under-perform and burn budget.
