Reach via Meta Audience Network

According to its own statements, the Meta Audience Network has “grown into one of the world’s largest advertising networks.”

The Facebook Audience Network is a form of display advertising, similar to the Google Display Network.
Facebook and Google are also competing in this market.

The Publisher Network includes thousands of URLs and mobile apps where Audience Network ads can be displayed. You can download the Meta Publisher list containing all URLs here.

This makes it possible to reach additional people in Switzerland who aren’t already reachable via the Facebook app.
