Editor's Notes
Our content strategy has evolved over the last few years, from a focus on live sports and originals to an ecosystem approach that provides both content breadth and depth. Our ecosystem now looks like this: Partner generated, licensed content and our original series. There is publisher video content within each of these content categories. Let’s talk about each bucket.
Partner generated
The vast majority of our monetized content is partner generated. This is content that our publisher partners create and distribute on the platform and monetize in partnership with us. Targeting the right person with the right content at the right time requires that we provide audience choice through massive content diversification.
Example publishers in this category:
Buzzfeed
Tastemade
Refinery29
Funny or Die
====
Funded/licensed content –
This is where the majority of our content budget will be placed moving forward, targeting culturally relevant content at scale across the globe. With growing demand to connect around music on Facebook, we also introduced music videos in Watch to everyone in the US, India and Thailand. The music destination in Watch lets people explore music videos by genre, artist or mood, and features themed playlists. Earlier this month, Katy Perry debuted her new “Smile” music video exclusively on Facebook to millions of fans.
Example content in this category:
NFL + NBA + MLB + NHL + MLS + PGA Highlights/Game Recaps
Late Night + News + Entertainment from major broadcasters and cable networks
=====
Originals and Tentpoles –
This is our brand-building, award-winning video content that we spoke about earlier (e.g., Red Table Talk). This is light-house content that we partner with big name talent to produce, but is more scarce in volume. While Originals continue to be strategic, it is a smaller part of our overall content ecosystem.
Example Facebook Watch Originals
Red Table Talk
Huda Boss
Steve on Watch
Steph vs The Game
Sneaker Hustle

Today we’ll focus on Reserve, which allows you to buy our best publisher video inventory upfront or in the scatter market at a fixed rate, offering…
Relevance + Engagement
Through highly personalized content at scale, reach younger audiences.
Effective, Efficient Brand Building
This is a complement to your video investments that will help you build your brand in a landscape where it is more challenging to stand out and gain incremental reach, with very little waste compared to TV.
Brand Safe + TV-Like Buying
ISR offers our highest level of brand safety measures and is bought on Nielsen-guaranteed in-demo impressions, transacted on an insertion order to integrate into the ways you already buy premium video.
Geographical targeting based on FB Native Targeting, inclusive of DMA’s (inclusion and exclusion targeting), state/regions, cities, postal codes, addresses, or congressional districts
Guidelines:
The total combination of the targeting segment needs to be 10% or more of our Reserve audience, inclusive of the DMA’s that are being used
