As you may realize, Ad Age acquires much of its content from industry professionals who want to share their expertise and be credited for their contributions/achievements. Sometimes this results in some pretty thin pieces, other times it works out perfectly, as is the case with this new article about Facebook marketing from Michael Scissons, president-CEO of Syncapse.
Scissons piece is loaded with suggestions for marketers in the social space:
- Local Facebook pages perform 36% better than global ones, so build a structure for scaling social marketing across your enterprise
- Talk to your fans six to seven times a week at relevant times
- Run your brand’s community management in-house and hire someone to do it right
- Task your agency to develop original creative content
- Know and understand your data
That’s sound advice. Especially the part about publishing original creative content. Scissons warns against “dissing audiences with bad content, coupons, polls, contests, and boring filler.”
