Facebook To Collect Brand-Sponsored Content Data | Ryan Skinner

Facebook To Collect Brand-Sponsored Content Data | Ryan Skinner | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

An announcement late last week by the Facebook media team may have been overlooked by many marketers, but it has intriguing ramifications.


Facebook announced that it would effectively allow any organization with a verified page to publish brand-sponsored content without asking Facebook for explicit permission first, provided that content was tagged to the brand. They said:


"Today we're updating our branded content policy to enable verified Pages to share branded content on Facebook. Along with changes to our branded content policy and ads policy, we're offering a new tool that makes it easy for publishers and influencers to tag a marketer when they publish branded content. Publishers and influencers must use this tag for all branded content shared on Facebook."


What does it mean?...

10 Facebook Features that Businesses Should Use More Often | Cision

10 Facebook Features that Businesses Should Use More Often | Cision | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article detailing 10 new Facebook features for 2016 which naturally sparked a lot of interest: after all, who isn’t excited about shiny new features on Facebook? But its popularity made me wonder if there are existing Facebook features that may be underutilized by businesses, communication professionals and marketers.


After all, Facebook has been around for a (relatively) long time, so there must be some features that are currently under-appreciated but may be very helpful.


The purpose of this post is to reintroduce you to some Facebook features that have been around for a while and may be very helpful....

In an effort to provide the best experience possible, the algorithm behind the News Feed has grown increasingly complicated over the years. In a nutshell, it scans and collects every single post put out by your Facebook friends, the people you follow, the groups you belong to, and the pages you've Liked. Then, it does its very best to rank posts according to each user's preferences.The result? Facebook's best estimation for what you actually want to see on your feed.

Five Steps To Facebook Video Success | The Whip

Five Steps To Facebook Video Success | The Whip | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Publishers already know that Facebook video is a major source of engagement.


Video is a major part of Facebook’s future plans. The platform is testing an all-video news feed, and releasing a number of new video-focussed features, including the ability to save clips for watching later.


Although it’s still early days in figuring out what’s working on Facebook, it’s clear that there’s a lot of confusion out there about what works best in video. Some of the most successful publishers see the overwhelming bulk of their engagement on a handful of clips, while others might feature similar content, but wind up with a fraction of the engagements.


From analysing data at NewsWhip, we’ve come up with five factors that seem to hold true for most highly shared videos....

Opening Up Instant Articles to All Publishers

Opening Up Instant Articles to All Publishers | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

We’re excited to announce that on April 12th at Facebook’s F8 conference, we will be opening up the Instant Articles program to all publishers—of any size, anywhere in the world. To date, we’ve been working with a few hundred publishers around the world to build an incredibly fast and immersive reading experience for people on Facebook. While we were getting feedback and making improvements to Instant Articles, in parallel we’ve been building the tools to open up Instant Articles more broadly.

We built Instant Articles to solve a specific problem—slow loading times on the mobile web created a problematic experience for people reading news on their phones. This is a problem that impacts publishers of all sizes, especially those with audiences where low connectivity is an issue. With that in mind, our goal from the beginning was to open up Instant Articles to all publishers and we’re excited to be able to do that in a way that makes it fast and easy for all publishers to reach their audiences on Facebook....

90% of Facebook's daily active users access it via mobile | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Facebook just released financial results for Q4 of 2015, and one number starts out in particular: 934 million mobile daily active users (DAUs).

Sure, 0.9 billion might not sound quite as impressive as the 1.04 billion total daily users, but we already knew the company had passed the billion milestone in early November.

There were 894 million mobile DAUs at the time, which means the company has added 40 million more mobile users per day since November, and it will very likely cross 1 billion mobile DAUs sometime this year.

Meanwhile, the company is also slowly encroaching on the 2 billion monthly active users (MAUs) mark – three were 1.59 billion MAUs in December, or 14 percent more than the same time in 2014. Of those, 1.44 came from mobile, an increase of 21 percent, once again showing the quicker growth in the mobile sector....
