These partners have built technology to provide efficiency at scale for specific verticals, creator/influencers, all the way down to the smallest brick and mortar businesses building their online offering through the Facebook family of apps. Some categories include platforms to help automate digital advertising globally, immersive builder software for augmented reality, 3D, interactive, creator/influencer marketing workflow tools, creative insights tools, and cost-effective apps for small businesses to generate their digital storefront.
