According to a report Marketing Land, the new targeting option will be in Facebook’s Custom Audiences, which Facebook says is “a type of audience you can create made up of your existing customers” so brands can “target ads…on Facebook, Instagram and Audience Network.”
With the new option, it was reported that brands will be able to create Custom Audiences of consumers who responded to specific events or to any event created by a given advertiser. There will also be an option to target those who said they were going or those who said they were interested – or both. And this includes responses as far back as 180 days ago.
The targeting will work like all Custom Audience lists – brands can use them to target specific users, to exclude specific users or to target similar users.
