Why your Meta ads die after two weeks

Creative fatigue isn't a mystery. It's a schedule you can plan for.

Most Meta campaigns don't fail at launch. They fail quietly, somewhere around week two, when the same three creatives keep chasing the same people. The audience hasn't gone anywhere. It has simply seen you enough. Brands react by raising the budget, changing the targeting or blaming the algorithm, when the real problem sits in the ad itself. This is creative fatigue, and it's the most predictable thing in paid social. Once you treat it as a schedule instead of a surprise, your cost per result stops swinging every other week.
