About the event
Overview
Overview
The aim of this briefing is to provide marketers with insight into the application of current technical capabilities within Facebook, and inspiration when considering the power of Facebook applied to a wider strategic theme.
Social media continues to develop at a lightning pace across all platforms, however in terms of numbers Facebook is the undisputed heavyweight. Constant moderation and innovation are fundamental to Facebook itself; therefore it remains crucial that marketers keep abreast of these latest developments.
As well as these increasing capabilities, it is important to understand Facebook’s value to any brand as a real-time research resource -to see the value in listening before acting. We’ll look at 5 approaches for 2011.
“Owned” Media
So you want a Facebook page – well you’re now a media owner. That means: editorial schedule, content production timelines, internal resources, structured moderation, technical development, the adoption of relevant metrics etc
FBCommerce
Is it right to attempt to drive revenue from the platform? How can this be done using current technical capabilities (Apps, Places, Stores etc) and what needs to happen before I see sales?
Crowdsourcing
What is it and is it relevant to my brand? What are the benefits or constraints, and what sorts of campaigns are possible?
Metrics vs KPIs
What am I measuring here, when and why?
Facebook as an Insights Tool
Look at your market research budget, and focus grouping (at a cost per head) with all the statistical anomalies qualitative surveying encounters. Is there a way to engage with Facebook communities to increase your customer understanding?
