Viral campaigns are every advertiser's dream. Would they work for your brand, product or service? Or can they do more harm than good? Is online bannering yesterday's option? Would you rather go for Adwords these days? Are there any new online channels emerging? And how do some brands reduce their media budgets to virtually nothing?

data smartness.

to a world of 'yes,' where the
audience gets to curate content,
express and share it as they
choose, while copyright holders
are not only respected, they get to
make money.”
Jeff Berman, Myspace’s president of sales and marketing

88. Homepage ad units:
video ads
virtual gifts
sponsored events
advertise your page
Profile ads
(non-)targeted regular ads
115. Missed Opportunities...
no direct push to the news feed from interactions
putting it on the profile is rather hidden

it does not appear in the ‘requests’ page
only works as a realtime game
too complex for a simple game
...
116. The Pareto principle states that,
for many events, roughly 80% of the
effects come from 20% of the causes.

with applications:
1% apps > 74% usage
20% apps > 98% usage

to traditional or TV ads. Users become fans.
New Facebook design & decreased visibility => Apps offer better opportunities for brand
challenging to launch a successful application. alignment and integration.
Facebook apps are not for all brands. App usage is a better signal for intent than

First and foremost, Facebook removes
your ability to blast messages to your
group once it surpasses a certain size.
if your group becomes popular, it can become a target for spammers. If you
want to keep your group clean, be prepared to spend time deleting spam wall posts
and reporting users that spam your group to Facebook.

126. Facebook Events is a free application developed by Facebook that anyone can use to
promote marketing events, sponsored parties, or even product launches, transactions,
or company milestones.
You can invite all of your
friends to the event; friends you invite will receive a special notification
requesting their RSVP.
Facebook Events makes it easy to get the word out to hundreds of people, manage
your guest list, and build community around your upcoming event.
Events API
In an effort to allow applications to more tightly integrate with the Facebook Events system,
Facebook launched new APIs that allow applications to create and manage Facebook Events
from within the application in August 2008. Application users can RSVP to events, which will
result in News Feed stories being published and give the user an opportunity to invite friends.

share content from around the web, called Feed Importing. Users just enter their

in your Mini Feed (and your friends’ News Feeds).

Facebook, the wind that blows your marketing seeds is Facebook’s News Feed.

build an application), Facebook’s Mini Feed and News Feed archive your users’
engagement with your brand and syndicate it to their friends, networks, and beyond,
amplifying the reach of your campaign by orders of magnitude.

see the news in their News Feeds.
