Short answer

Partnership ads are Meta's ad format, formerly called Branded Content Ads, that runs ads showing both the creator's and the brand's handles. Brands can promote a creator's existing posts or create new ads with creator permission. The format pairs a creator's authentic voice and audience trust with the targeting and measurement of paid advertising.
