(01) Our take

Meta Ads covers Facebook, Instagram, and — for ad delivery purposes — WhatsApp. The platform is table stakes for most DTC clients and a big chunk of our B2C engagements. What's changed in the last three years is the shift from browser-side tracking (the Meta Pixel) to server-side tracking (the Conversions API), driven by iOS privacy changes and the slow death of third-party cookies.

Our work here is the engineering around CAPI: deduplicated event pipelines, first-party data integration, Advanced Matching with hashed identifiers, and the server-side tag management that makes all of it resilient to browser-level blocking. We leave the creative and media buying to partners; we own the data and delivery integrations.

(02) What we build with it

Typical work

  • Meta Conversions API (CAPI) implementation with deduplication
  • Advanced Matching with hashed first-party identifiers
  • Server-side Meta Pixel deployment via GTM Server
  • Catalog-driven Dynamic Ads integrations for e-commerce

(03) How we engage

Engagement shape

4–10 week engagements for full CAPI setup, catalog integration, or tracking migrations. Often paired with Google Ads work.
