What is a Facebook Agency Ad Account?

A Facebook Agency Ad Account is a type of ad account set up within Meta Business Manager (formerly Facebook Business Manager) designed specifically for digital marketing agencies to manage multiple clients' advertising campaigns under one centralized platform. This structure allows agencies to have more control, efficiency, and scalability when managing Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and other Meta platform campaigns for clients.

By using an Agency Ad Account, businesses and agencies can access advanced features like permission management, billing separation, and multiple user roles, making it easier to handle numerous ad campaigns from a variety of clients or businesses. This setup is particularly important for agencies managing multiple clients simultaneously, ensuring smoother coordination, reporting, and scaling.
