Run it as an ad

Boost a post that is live on Instagram so it keeps its likes and comments, or run a post you made in Studio as a new Meta ad. Either way you check it on one screen, choose a budget, and start it — nothing spends until you do. Campaigns from Inbox suggestions or the full brief are approved in the Inbox, card by card.
