Probably some of the biggest and best news to come out of these last few months!! Google is now expanding its free display options to businesses in Europe, Africa and The Middle East (wooo). Luckily for America, they have had this luxury since April, and are already well used to the change. Google will also offer tools to help SMBs get back on track, amid the impacts of COVID-19. We […]
Facebook has been non-stop with their changes at the moment, and today is no different. Facebook has announced that it’s removing its 28-day attribution window option for Facebook ads, which will mean that advertisers will no longer be able to track direct actions based on their campaigns over a longer period. Facebook’s attribution model allowed advertisers to measure particular responses to their selected campaigns, based on rules they had chosen themselves. Facebook provided […]
Back in August, I wrote a post on how Facebook has been sharing a weekly series of insights, into its various video tools, via interviews with the Facebook staff working on them. If you missed that, you can check it out HERE.

WOW, WOW, WOW. Big news from Facebook has landed! Facebook is removing its restrictions on ads which include more than 20% text in the main image.

When Mabo’s social team heard this news, they were very excited that they would no […]

There really is no rest for Facebook, they are continuously updating their features to help you, as a business, maximise ad performance. Discussing ads, Facebook said “When an advertiser runs too many ads at once, each ad delivers less often. This means that fewer ads exit the learning phase, and more budget is spent before the delivery system can optimize performance.” Therefore to reduce the budget and of course increase […]
(SocialMediaToday, 2020) ran several polls on their newsletter on the topic of marketing goals. The aim of these polls were to find out what businesses would class as their ‘top’ marketing goal. Thinking about yours now? I thought so… “Brand awareness” was a clear winner and consistently came out on top.

Consumers are more engaged with businesses who can meet their needs from home right now–and they’re more willing to move to those who can. If like me, during lockdown you will have potentially seen your postman more than you have seen your family. River Island, Amazon, Miss Guided, New Look, you name it, I ordered from it! In June, a Google survey showed that 32% of U.S. consumers shopped online […]
