The term Custom Audience is most commonly used in the context of the social media platform Facebook.
Facebook's Ad Manager allows you to create custom audiences to target your ads. These audiences can be created from guest data, website traffic, app users or other sources. Users who have interacted with Facebook or Instagram pages, liked, shared, commented on posts, responded to events or watched a video can also be used as Custom Audiences.
The advantage of Custom Audiences is that users already know the company and are therefore more likely to be interested in the advertised offer. A Lookalike Audience can be created based on the Custom Audience.
