"So, the success that we've seen on mobile is beginning to solve the problems of how you can make sure that the right person receives the right message."

According to Facebook, native formats now make up more than 80 percent of impressions through the Audience Network and perform as much as seven times better than standard banner formats. Boland said Facebook has seen a fivefold increase in the number of publishers offering native ads year over year. Facebook's Audience Network is massive.
