Our Strategy:

Be strategic, not just experimental

What role does Facebook play for you in the context of other communications?

Does it extend your value proposition, or is it another channel?

With whom are you trying to develop a relationship?

1

Listen to what they want to talk about

It’s their platform, you’re a guest.

2

Look for shared passions

Football and Basketball

Teams and rivalries

Wings and beer

Escape from real life

Sauces and flavors

Fandom and competitive spirit

Content type

Post frequency

Time of day

Day of week

Look for engagement insights:

Your Facebook page

Their Facebook pages

Twitter activity

Other brand’s

Facebook pages

Listen everywhere you can:
