Oreo takes Facebook ‘Daily Twist’ campaign to Times Square for final day Posted: 02 Oct 2012 09:39 AM PDT For the final day of its 100-day campaign driven largely through Facebook, Oreo has installed a one-room ad agency in Times Square so it can take suggestions from the public and debut the final “Daily Twist” image on a digital billboard in New York City. Oreo has been celebrating its 100th anniversary with 100 days of images that use Oreos to represent current events and national celebrations, including the Mars Rover landing, the end of the NFL referee lockout, Shark Week and the Fourth of July. Often times, the images are decided on and created the same day they are released on Facebook and other social sites. Today, Oreo is showing its process to the world with a glass room and video display of the creatives putting together the final Daily Twist in Times Square based on topics that fans submitted through Facebook and Twitter. The Daily Twist campaign is notable for its emphasis on regularly producing fresh content that users can easily consume and share in the feed, whereas other brands put more focus on tab applications or high-production video that don’t typically get the same reach and engagement as simple photo posts. Oreo’s Facebook page has 27.9 million Likes with 233,800 People Talking About This. Its Daily Twist posts often get hundreds or even thousands of shares. With today’s Times Square stunt, the campaign shows how social efforts can cross over with traditional media and experiential marketing. Oreo has event staff passing out cookies and information about the Daily Twist. An Oreo mascot is walking around taking photos with people in Times Square. And the Daily Twist will get prime out of home ad space in the center of NYC. After taking ideas from consumers via Facebook and Twitter this morning, Oreo representatives narrowed down the list to eight submissions. They sketched out images based on those ideas and then chose three finalists to display on the large screens above American Eagle Outfitters as well as Facebook. The public will be able to vote for their favorite until 1:45 p.m. EDT, and the winner will be announced by 2 p.m. The Times Square event will continue through the afternoon with giveaways and other activities. Oreo is working with 360i, DraftFCB New York, MediaVest and Weber Shandwick for its 100th anniversary campaigns, according to AdAge.

Facebook makes recommendations to FTC about children’s privacy law Posted: 02 Oct 2012 08:11 AM PDT Facebook filed a 22-page letter with the Federal Trade Commission outlining its thoughts and recommendations for the commission’s proposed changes to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The social network lauded the FTC’s commitment to protecting children’s online experiences and privacy, but expressed concern about some language in the proposed change, which could hold Facebook liable in cases where third-parties use its social plugins and create additional burdens for Facebook, developers, publishers and parents. In particular, Facebook urged the commission to explicitly allow first-party advertising as an acceptable use of a child’s “persistent identifier,” such as an IP address or cookie ID. The FTC is proposing that COPPA be expanded to apply to apps, games and online ad networks, in addition to the child-directed websites it currently covers. Some language in the proposal would deem website publishers and developers that use plugins like Facebook Login or the Like Button as “co-operators” with Facebook. Facebook Chief Privacy Officer Erin Egan, who wrote the letter to the FTC, suggests that the language in the proposal “fundamentally misunderstands the relationship between plugin providers and website publishers.” The social network, for example, makes plugins available but doesn’t choose which websites use them, which plugins they use or how they use them. Neither does Facebook share data with the third-parties that use its plugins. As such, the company wants to ensure that it would not be held liable under COPPA for offenses by web publishers or app developers that integrate with its platform. The FTC proposal makes some exceptions for collecting and using children’s information as needed for “support for internal operations.” Facebook requests that the FTC clarify its definition of “support for internal operations” to include data captured by plugins and to explicitly include activities that do not impact children’s privacy, such as first-party advertising. The letter cites the commission’s previous reports that distinguish first-party advertising from third-party advertising because it does not raise the same privacy concerns and is generally an expected part of free websites and online services. Egan further recommends that COPPA not include language that requires operators of child-directed sites to “treat all users as children” and obtain parental consent even if they otherwise have knowledge that a user is 13 years or older. For example, if a user has signed up for Facebook, the user has verified that they are over 13 by providing a birthdate. Egan says this should apply to third-party sites that integrate plugins without requiring additional consent or age verification. “It would be nonsensical to require an operator to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting information from a parent,” Egan writes. As we’ve previously written about, Facebook could ultimately serve as a means for age verification all around the web. In its letter, the company suggests that the commission could add explicit clarification that publishers can use a common mechanism to obtain verifiable parental consent, as Microsoft, Disney and a number of organizations have suggested in their comments to the FTC. Doing this, Egan writes, would minimize the burden on parents by reducing the number of times they have to give consent and eliminate the need for multiple detailed privacy notices. Instead, parents could give consent and get notice up front. They would then then get a more specific notice when a child wants to play a game or use a new app. If a platform provides this ability, Facebook argues, it should not assume liability or turn the platform into a “co-operator” with third-party apps or websites that implement it. The Wall Street Journal reported in June that Facebook was taking steps toward allowing children under 13 to be allowed on the site, including creating mechanisms that would connect children’s accounts to those of their parents. Facebook has not publicly shared whether it is planning to lower its age limit or how it would do so.

• Facebook exploring opportunities to sell premium services for businesses
• Farmville 2, schoolFeed, 4shared, Wordox and more on this week’s top 20 growing Facebook apps by MAU
• Facebook says impressions, reach and frequency matter more than clicks

Facebook exploring opportunities to sell premium services for businesses Posted: 01 Oct 2012 01:27 PM PDT Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg told CNBC today that the company is looking at opportunities to sell premium services for businesses. “As we increase our investment in monetization, we’re thinking about premium services for business,” Sandberg said. "We've heard from businesses all over the world that they want more from us. There are things they'd pay for they really want us to provide. So it's an area that we're currently starting to explore." Sandberg didn’t offer any specific examples, though CNBC suggested “analytics or customer service” in its reports. Based on job listings posted to Facebook’s careers site over the past few months, we’ve suspected that the company could be making a play into providing CRM or data management solutions. For example, in August, we saw Facebook put out a call for Product Marketing Manager, Monetization: “an expert in data management platforms” who will ”develop our plans and vision for how we can enable businesses to better reach their customers and prospects on Facebook." Data management platforms help advertisers organize their first party data (web analytics, CRM), second party data (from strategic partners that can match CRM records or cookies) and third party data (such as from Acxiom or Datalogix) to improve their advertising efforts. Facebook is uniquely positioned to enter this space considering the wealth of data it has in each of these areas. It has already gotten into the ad exchange market with FBX and has started matching CRM data with Custom Audiences. The company has also begun working with Datalogix to understand how Facebook ads impact offline sales. Facebook might also be interested in offering its own CRM system. In March Facebook added a listing for a Software Engineer, Sales/Marketing Tools with the job description: “The Sales/Marketing Tools team is inventing the future of Social CRM (Customer Relationship Management). We work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, and Marketing teams to design and develop a suite of applications for large advertisers, media agencies, and Facebook’s global sales force.” Another listing for a Front End Software Engineer, Sales Tools, added at the same time, includes a similar description and the question, “Are you intrigued with applying the concepts of newsfeed, social, and leader boards to business applications?” The listing also mentions “building enterprise applications using social and gamification techniques.” Since July, Facebook has been looking for an Executive Briefing Center Manager to develop strategy and lead execution for the company's new program to build relationships and win over new partners and advertisers. Executive briefing centers are areas for large companies to show off their technology and understand the business needs of potential clients and customers. Sandberg wasn’t specific about the size of the opportunity for the premium services it is considering, but she said the company believes its potential in any area is “really big because of our sheer size and scale.”

Farmville 2, schoolFeed, 4shared, Wordox and more on this week’s top 20 growing Facebook apps by MAU Posted: 01 Oct 2012 12:26 PM PDT Zynga’s FarmVille 2 comes in at the No. 1 spot on our list of top growing Facebook apps by monthly active users this week, adding 15 million new players.

Stay tuned for our look at the top weekly gainers by daily active users on Thursday, and the top emerging apps on Friday.

Facebook says impressions, reach and frequency matter more than clicks Posted: 01 Oct 2012 11:10 AM PDT Clicks aren’t the right metric for brand advertisers, Facebook Head of Measurement and Insights Brad Smallwood told the audience at the IAB MIXX Conference in New York today. Smallwood shared results from recent campaign studies that indicated impressions, reach and frequency were more valuable than clicks. Specifically, 99 percent of sales came from users who saw an ad but did not interact with it. Campaigns that optimized for reach were 70 percent more effective at driving ROI, and campaigns that optimized for frequency had a 40 percent increase in ROI. Smallwood began by outlining the history of advertising and measurement, noting that for the past few years Facebook hasn’t had the right tools and metrics for advertisers to understand their performance on the platform. Now with the company’s partnership with Datalogix, which connects digital media and offline purchasing data, Facebook says it has found a better model that not only proves ROI but also helps advertisers improve their campaigns. Clicks are important to direct response campaigns, but they’re only one part of brand advertising, Smallwood said, citing a past Nielsen study, which found no correlation between sales lift and clickthrough rate. Moving forward, Facebook will help its advertisers understand the value of the impressions they’re getting on the social network, as well as determine the optimal reach and frequency for their ads. Smallwood said there is a “sweet spot” for the number of impressions that maximize ROI, but it might differ for different advertisers depending on the product, the campaign and other factors. For example, some advertisers will find that four impressions per user will increase profit. After that, retail sales might still go up, but not enough to cover the cost of advertising and production. When impressions are more evenly allocated — so one user isn’t seeing an ad twice and another seeing an ad 20 times — advertisers have seen a 40 percent increase in ROI. Facebook is applying these findings, and others related to reach, to its ad products to optimize how it serves ads to users. Tom Buday, head of marketing and consumer communication at Nestle S.A. who went on stage after Smallwood, addressed some of the articles and conversations that try to declare whether Facebook or other social media platforms “work” or “don’t work” for advertisers. He says success or failure isn’t dependent on the advertising channel. It comes down to brand messages. Once advertisers have a quality message and they understand their overall brand health and performance, they can apply it to platforms like Facebook. Message quality is more important than ever, he said, because of the technology that is available. Not only do consumers have more control over the messages they see, they have the means to share whether they love or hate an ad with millions of people. He said Nestle has found Facebook to be a valuable platform for its different brands, including Gerber USA, which is seeing $3.91 ROI for $1 spent.
