Florent Ferere, Project Manager at KRDS

A fact to start with

• Pepsi spent more than $250 million in Super Bowl TV ads during the past 20 years

• This year, Pepsi has opted out of TV…

…in favor of its online Facebook-connected Refresh Everything charity project

A fact to start with

“Instead of getting 30 seconds to connect with their customers, they’re getting 30 days”

Mike Murphy, vice-president of global sales at Facebook

Brands can no longer ignore Facebook

• 500 million monthly active users• Certainly

1 billion before 2011

200 million daily active users

55 minutes per day per average user

« Must dash….need to spend some time on Facebook »

60 million status updates posted each day

3 billion photos uploaded to the site each month

20 billion pieces of content shared each month

Now, Facebook leads sharing on the web!

The advent of Facebook

So brands can no longer ignore Facebook…

But are they welcome on Facebook?

Or are they regarded as party crashers?

Good news!

Brands are rather welcome!

The power of Facebook Pages:

A once in a decade marketing revolution

A Facebook page:

“a tool that allows entities such as public figures and organizations to broadcast information to their fans’ Facebookhomepages……. for free…….and without limits”

Easy subscription to a brand’s news

A Multimedia Publishing tool

News can be:• Pictures• Videos• Questions to fans• Notes• Links• Event

The Story Telling era

« On Facebook, it’s far better to publish ten1-minute-long videos, one every day….

…than to publish a 10-minutes-long videoat once »

An interactive tool

Fans can:• Watch videos straight from their home pages• Comment content• Like content• Share content with their friends

A very popular tool!

• More than 3 million active Pages on Facebook

• More than 20 million new fans of Pages each day

• More than 5.3 billion fans

• Average user becomes a fan of 4 Pages each month

Some brands are lucky…

…they’re already popular outside of Facebookand have gained fans effortlessly

Less famous brands need to market actively theirpages

The targeting power of Facebook Ads

Brands can target their audience as it has never been possible before

Ads-driven users have to be incentivized to become fans with offers or special content

BNP Paribas Case Study

We wantfans!

OK!But…..

BNP Paribas Case Study

That’s a tough time being a bank right now

Let’s try something different

BNP Paribas prides itself for supporting the film industry

Why not give away movietickets to fans?

On BNP Paribas FB Page

A daily sweeptake: 1000 movietickets to be won every dayduring 1 month

To take part, users have to become fans of the bank

Sample of the winners of the day before

Users were prompted to share the offer withfriends

BNP Paribas Case Study

Traffic fromFacebook Ads to the

Facebook Page

Daily sweepstake on the Facebook Page

120 000 fans

0 fan 1 month laterNumber 1 bankon Facebook in terms of fans

Follow the golden rule!

• Most of the content published by a brand has to remainconsistent with the reason why users became fans in the first place

• If you don’t, fans will simply hide your posts

• In BNP Paribas case:– the bank should keep posting about films 4 out of 5 times – and post bank offers 1 out of 5 times

The power of Facebook Apps
