Facebook Campaign Budget Optimization

By November 2017, Facebook announced the Campaign Budget Optimization. A new way to maximize Facebook & Instagram Campaigns and ensure better Return On Ad Spent (ROAS). During the firsts months of 2018, the roll out has been done. 

How does the Campaign Budget Optimization work?

When setting up a Campaign, select the "Optimize budget across ad sets" option.

With this option, Facebook will automatically distribute your Budget between all your Ad Sets to get the best results. 

Despite the fact Facebook says is the current best way to Optimize your campaigns... doubt it!

As always, test it and analyze it :)

How Facebook Prevents Suicide

Uncategorized Aug 06, 2018

This is not new but at least worthy of being known.

Based on the assumption of experts saying... that one of the best ways to prevent suicide is for those in distress to hear from people who care about them. 

Facebook is in a unique position — through friendships on the site — to help connect a person in distress with people who can support them.

Which is the practical side of all this?

Facebook updated the tools and resources to offer to people who may be thinking of suicide, as well as the support to their concerned friends and family members:

  • Integrated suicide prevention tools to help people in real time on Facebook Live
  • Live chat support from crisis support organizations through Messenger
  • Streamlined reporting for suicide, assisted by artificial intelligence

Suicide prevention tools have been available on Facebook for more than 10 years and were developed in collaboration with mental health organizations such as Save.org

Facebook & Google finally share data between their "Silos"

Who has not suffered from different Attribution Models between the two Digital Marketing Giants, Facebook & Google? At least in the US and Europe one can clearly say that these two giants have a Duopoly when it comes to Digital Media Spend (>60% in the US in 2017).

However, up until this year they never really communicated between each other and therefore lead their customers to wrong conclusions because every one attributed the conversions mainly to themselves. 

This could result for example in the scenario where an eCommerce Owners sees in Shopify 10 Sales per day, but Google says that 7 from them come form AdWords an Facebook says that 8 of them come from Facebook Ads. But where do the 5 additional sales come from? 

Well, they basically come from double-attribution which is now finally tackled by the biggest Data-Transfer-Project of Digital Marketing World.
