Everyone, especially the ones in our marketing department had predicted this move to be made sooner or later. And yes, today seems the day when all the predictions they made when Facebook took over Whatsapp back on February 19, 2014, come true.

This dream saw the light of the day yesterday and moved a step towards reality when Facebook confirmed that Whatsapp Ads will be seen as a part of its statuses (Almost same as Instagram stories) in 2020.

This announcement made the annual Facebook Marketing Summit which was held in the Netherlands this week a bit more interesting. Several photographs were later released by Oliver Ponteville of Be Connect Digital marketing on Twitter.
