The Economist has 5,364 ads in the Meta Ad Library, and 158 were running when we read it on October 2, 2026. Below is a page of creative from The Economist’s 2026 advertising campaigns, the formats it uses, and how long the ads stay up.
The creative read here is 48 percent carousel, 29 percent video, 23 percent single image. 9 of the 31 ads read here are video: The Economist’s commercials as they run in the feed. The median ad ran 17 days and the longest was still up at 98. 3 percent of everything The Economist has published on Meta is still delivering, which is a brand retiring most of what it makes and scaling the survivors.
