Get ready to see ads for Facebook Live everywhere.

On Friday the social network announced a new ad campaign for its live video feature in the U.S. and U.K. that will include TV spots, online ads, billboards, bus ads, and more.

The campaign signals the growing importance of live video to Facebook, which has already put the feature front and center in its app and paid media outlets and celebrities millions of dollars to broadcast on its platform.

“We designed our campaign to reflect the authenticity of Facebook Live,” Facebook CMO Gary Briggs said in a statement on Friday. “All of the content for the campaign—every video, every image—was shot using Facebook Live on a phone. Many of the videos you’ll see in our TV spots are from real people around the world, and none of the dialogue was scripted.”

The ads were created by The Factory, Facebook’s in-house ad agency led by former TBWA and Apple creative director Scott Trattner.
