Facebook to Start Testing New Ads Manager, Bulk Uploader Soon
As Facebook’s performance advertising business continues to grow, Facebook is adding new features to help advertisers get the most out of the system. Recently, Facebook added new targeting features, including connection targeting, multi-country targeting, and birthday targeting. Now, Facebook has confirmed to us it is about to start testing an updated Ads Manager and a bulk uploading tool to make managing Facebook Ads campaigns easier.
The new Ads Manager, which Facebook should start rolling out to a few advertisers soon, will make it easier to create, edit, and manage ad creative. Unlike today’s Ads Manager, the new version will include in-line editing and search, which should make campaign management much more efficient for those managing many Facebook Ads.
In addition, Facebook will soon start testing a new tool for advertisers to bulk upload many ads at once, instead of manually creating them in the standard campaign manager or through third party scripts. Agencies, app developers, and direct response advertisers who often want to target and test hundreds or thousands of specific creatives will now be able to do so much more easily.
While Facebook hasn’t said exactly when these features will be rolled out to everyone, some advertisers should start seeing the new features soon.

Nice. The example image from this is a copyrighted image from Street Fighter. Seems a fitting example since so many apps on Facebook don’t mind blatently violating copyright law, and Facebook itself offers no meaningful protection.

Looking forward to using the new Ads Manager. We’ve had access to the bulk uploader for a few weeks now and definitely save a ton of time using it. Very similar to the bulksheet in Yahoo Search Marketing.

I work for a large Web Design firm with a growing Online Marketing division (essentially an agency) who are just about to start setting up & managing Facebook ads for our clients. How would we go about getting access to the Facebook Ads Bulk Upload Tool you mention here?
I know trying to contact a live person at FB is next to impossible, so I’m hoping there’s some way to do this quickly & easily?
