Over the last few years, concerns over the nature of online privacy have reached a boiling point, and many prominent online platforms have been forced to take a more proactive approach to safeguarding user data. The most obvious example of this is Facebook, which caught fierce criticism in the wake of the 2016 Cambridge Analytica scandal.
Most companies find it difficult to grow a vibrant online presence without the use of Facebook advertising; as such, it may come as an unwelcome surprise to find that the costs of advertising on Facebook are steadily increasing.
Marketers tend to dislike change—yet in the past year, it seems as though there’s been nothing but change, particularly where Facebook is concerned. Due to public relations issues and an increased scrutiny on their business practices, Facebook has made some significant algorithmic updates that the end user has largely benefited from. For marketers, these changes may not be quite so welcome.
In content marketing, consistency is key. In order to keep your readers engaged, it’s important to regularly share compelling blog entries and social media updates—and while it’s not the end of the world if you miss a day, or a post shows up a few hours late, a long quiet spell could cause your followers to lose interest and head elsewhere.
An editorial calendar can be a helpful way to add structure to your content marketing—but what’s the best way to actually implement an editorial calendar?
One of the biggest misconceptions about social media marketing is that your brand has to be everywhere, present on every possible social channel. For most brands, even attempting this sort of ubiquity would be impossible; it’s a lot of work to maintain a regular posting schedule on even one social platform, let alone several! In most cases, it’s also a waste of money: The better approach is to be judicious, spending your social time and dollars on the sites where you know your customers to be.
12 Steps to a Better Social Media Presence
Simply being active on social media is not the same thing as having a thriving social presence. That’s something you only achieve through strategy. In this post, we’ll lay out 12 steps for turning your social media activity into something that’s truly value-adding and brand-enhancing.
Facebook has spent the better part of the last year in the limelight—and hardly in a good way. The once-beloved (and still incredibly popular) social platform has faced a number of scandals and PR debacles, all of them hinging on Facebook’s use of consumers’ data. Unsurprisingly, the company has reacted to the fallout with some sweeping changes to the way it uses third-party data—but what are those changes, exactly? And, what are the implications for advertisers? In this post, we’ll unpack both of those questions.
Is it Still Wise to Advertise on Facebook?
Recent headlines have not been kind to Facebook. On the heels of the Cambridge Analytica scandal—in which it was revealed that Facebook has sold the personal data of its users to politically-minded agencies—Mark Zuckerberg himself was called to testify before Congress. All the while, many users proclaimed their intentions to delete the Facebook app from their phone, or even to terminate their membership altogether over these violations of privacy.
Facebook has long been a ubiquitous part of our everyday lives—but over the last few months, the powerful social network has faced a new level of public scrutiny. Following a volley of criticisms about its role in the 2016 election cycle, including open questions about the spread of so-called “fake news,” Facebook has announced some changes to its quality control mechanisms, including some changes that could have a major impact on your newsfeed.
When it comes to big audiences, football pretty well has the market cornered. It remains the most-watched sport in America, and it represents a golden opportunity for marketers looking to spread their message. Of course, the sheer popularity of football also poses some marketing challenges: As much as you might love to show an ad during the next big game, doing so can be quite competitive—and thus, quite expensive.
But that doesn’t mean marketers lack viable options for tapping into the football crowd. Here are just a few strategies to consider.
