How Do I Launch a Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Campaign for Political or School Referendum Ads Using SoCast Reach?

  1. To launch a Meta (Facebook/Instagram) campaign for political or school referendum ads using SoCast Reach, you must have access to the client's Facebook page.
  2. SoCast will submit an access request to the client's Facebook page. Share the following approval instructions with your client: Meta Business Help: Approving Partner Access.
  3. Be aware that Meta may classify the campaign as "political," which can result in a 7–14 day delay due to required verifications by both SoCast and the client. For school votes, this verification may not always be required, but the risk exists.
  4. If there are delays related to Facebook Page access or Meta verification, you can switch the campaign to Display - Programmatic or Video - Programmatic options, which do not require additional steps to launch.
  5. TikTok and YouTube accounts are not required in advance. Temporary accounts can be created as needed for these platforms.
  6. For YouTube campaigns, video assets must be in a 16:9 (landscape) aspect ratio (1920x1080 pixels). If only square videos (1080x1080) are available, they can be adapted, but this will result in black bars on the sides.
  7. SoCast's standard turnaround time for custom proposals is two business days.
