Too hard?

O.K., name the last online advertisement you clicked on.

Brand messages need to be:

• Earned

Facebook has a solution.

But we first have to understand Facebook’s ecology to implement it.

Why is this “Like” button so important?

“Word of mouth is the best medium of all.”

The “Like” button...

• Builds a fan base

• Generates more interactions with your business

• helps with SEO

• Allows you to publish future update to visitors

In fact, almost all interactions with your studio on Facebook do not happen on your fan page, but on the walls of your fans. Most research shows that most of your fans will never come back to your Facebook Page after the first visit.

When your site visitors click on the Like button, it publishes a full news feed story and image to that users facebook profile.

The first time someone clicks a Like button, Facebook will automatically create a page.

This is important for two reasons.

• Having more liked articles helps SEO.Liked articles are shown in Facebook search results. This is important not only for people searching Facebook, but search engines are also beginning to factor in social media for search results and ranking.

• You can publish updates to anyone who has liked a page from your website or blog. These updates, will appear in the news feeds of those users. It’s an effective way to target users based on interest.

How do you ignite the Social Graph with the “Like” button?

How Sponsored Stories work:

A person engages with your Page, App, Place or Domain.

Normally, a story about this activity can be generated on their friends’

News Feeds, which their friends may or may not see due to the dynamic

nature of News Feed.

By including Sponsored Stories with your Facebook Ads campaign,

this person’s friends can also see the story appear in the right-hand side of

Facebook.

People are naturally interested in things their friends care about. That’s why the News

Feed is such a central part of Facebook: News Feed stories give friends an easy way

to show each other what they like.

Now with Sponsored Stories, you can increase the visibility of these

powerful News Feed stories when they relate to your organization or

business. No matter how many fans you have, they are only a portion of the people you can reach

on Facebook. Sponsored Stories broadens your reach by allowing your fans to help their friends

discover your brand and connect with your campaign objectives. Like Facebook Ads, Sponsored

Stories are non-disruptive and respect people’s privacy settings. There are seven types of Sponsored

Stories that each surface different types of content.

What are Sponsored Stories?

Sponsored Stories also support the content that your Facebook Page publishes to its fans. The dynamic nature

and unique algorithm behind each person’s News Feed means that each person’s experience is different on

Facebook. For Page owners, this means that some of your fans do not see your valuable Page posts (status

updates, videos, photos) in their News Feed. Sponsored Stories for Page Posts allows Page owners to ensure

your fans see the content that your Page publishes.

Facebook Pages

Facebook Pages are free public profiles that let you share your business and products with Facebook users on an ongoing basis. When Facebook users connect to your Page by clicking the Like button, you gain a lasting connection with them. This allows you to publish content and continue an ongoing conversation with the people who have chosen to connect to your brand. When they interact with your Page and the content you share, viral stories are generated on their profiles and in their friends’ News Feeds, giving your brand free organic exposure.

Be Social by Design.

• Social is the essential ingrediant and must be built into client strategies from the beginning. • The campaigns that make the biggest impact are the ones that people want to share and interact with.

• What are you going to do as a brand that will make them talk about you.

• Understand behavior. Don’t focus on technology.
