Hello group members!  I need some advice !Hello group members! I need some advice ! You guys may remember from my previous post on here that my team and I got into a dispute with one of our members, now ex-partner, who tried to run away with all our goods (money, website, ad account). Well we got our lawyer involved and we were able to get everything back. However, when changing ownership on the fb pixel and ad account, the ex-partner deleted our most viral ad (1. 7million views) and a bunch of other stuff on our ad account . Also, while trying to get everything back from him, we had to stop the ads. So now we only have the pixel, no viral ad, no previous campaigns, no LLAs, no custom audiences, just the pixel and the ad account. Any strategies to get back to business would be nice. Should we start with interests?, LLAs? what can we do with a pixel with a good amount of data? Any advice would be nice

Best answer
The data is gathered on the ad account level not at the pixel level, so your new ads will still perform good. Restart with everything, interests, Rebuild your CA and run LLA

All learning from traffic is retained. You should be able to recreate your custom audiences and LLA's at the very least and have a rebuilt campaign going well with all the learning the account has done.

If fact custom audiences and LLAs should be refreshed often anyway.
