TL;DR
Omnicliq attended the Meta Agency Performance Summit 2026 in London, an invitation-only event for selected agencies. Four takeaways: AI drives optimisation, creative decides performance, data and measurement matter more, and the agency's role is changing.
Omnicliq took part in the Meta Agency Performance Summit 2026 in London, an invitation-only event where Meta presented its strategy for the future of performance marketing. Michalis and Giorgos, our PPC Team Leaders, represented the team. The message was clear: performance is becoming AI-first.
Four takeaways
- AI is the main optimisation lever. Campaigns are increasingly optimised by the platform's own systems. Our work shifts to the inputs that feed them.
- Creative decides performance. Video, UGC and creator content are now the biggest performance factor.
- Data and measurement matter more than ever. Conversion API, first-party data and incrementality measurement tell the AI what is worth pursuing.
- Our role is changing. Less manual management, more strategy, AI workflows, automation and smart use of data.
What it means for brands
If AI optimises on its own, the difference between a good and an average account lies in what you feed it: clean measurement signals, creative variety and a strategy that knows what it wants to achieve.
