Ad types with multiple creatives are described as single ads that have more than one creative attached to them.
Some examples of ad types with multiple creative in Meta:
Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) | Offering where advertisers provide several assets as a bundle, and then Meta uses AI to test the different possible combinations to determine the optimal version. |
Auto Placement
| For a single creative, an advertiser may choose to use different assets for stories versus feed, or several other Facebook placements where asset customization is allowed. |
Carousel Ads | [Not currently supported in Creative Analytics] An ad format that allows advertisers to showcase. |
