Facebook Business Account
To get started with Facebook advertising you will need to have a Facebook business account.
After creating your Facebook business account you can grant advertiser access rights to a marketing agency allowing them to create ads for you on Facebook.
You will need to send the marketing agency your Business Manager ID and your Facebook email once you have completed all the steps below so that they can begin working on your campaigns.
