Facebook Ad Optimization Tricks the Pros Use: Pubcon Las Vegas 2013

Social ads are about amplifying user actions, not about broadcasting creative. Learn how to match the right content to the right audience by building target grids. Choose the right mix of sponsored stories to grow audience and engagement. Discover when to optimize against CTR vs. against CPC — and three surprising cases where CTR or CPC don’t even matter. What is the skinny on the new sponsored results ads in Facebook search, and how does it differ from Google brand bidding.

We’ll also cover organizational issues — you will walk away with a framework to coordinate with folks on other marketing teams. Where does social advertising end and creative begin? How do you build a social ROI model that everyone else will buy into? If you’re a consultant or agency, what types of automation are most effective to manage many complex client campaigns? How do you estimate campaign performance when you don’t have historical data?
