Facebook advertising – how au fait are you really?

December 18, 2013

Having a firm grasp of Facebook advertising mechanics is a must when it comes to social media marketing. Any creative campaign can be turbocharged by way of Facebook ads, assuming they are managed effectively and optimised in real-time.

But Facebook doesn’t always make it easy for marketeers to get started, especially since they regularly make changes and tweaks to their advertising platform. But don’t be afraid – once you’ve got a good grasp of the basic ins and outs of the platform, you’ll be on your way. The tricky part is getting your head around the lingo and core elements involved.

I rather like the below infographic, which is a lovely little glossary of Facebook advertising terms. Remember: Don’t let the lingo put you off, it’s all straightforward really.

Threads has passed 400 million monthly active users, and Meta has put daily actives at around 150 million. The strategic implication for B2C and B2B is the same; distribution gets easier to buy, credibility gets harder to earn. Threads rewards coherence in public conversation, how you answer, how you sound, how specific you are. Treat it as a trust surface, because that’s where decisions get shaped now.
