I am freshly into LinkedIn advertising with a new company I just began working with, and they recently bought a subscription into the LinkedIn sales navigator (I think that's the proper name). After searching and saving a list, what am I supposed to do with it? I only had about 20 mins to play around inside the sales navigator, so I'm guessing I missed something crucial but simple. I am assuming I can send out a bunch of different ad styles, as I've heard that LinkedIn has a good variety of ways to reach your potential customers, and I'm really interested in targeted email campaigns (which I've also heard LinkedIn offers). Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Thanks in advance submitted by /u/sragan16 [link] [comments […]

I've recently taken control of the company I work for social media accounts and I'm starting to think I should unfollow some of the accounts that were previously followed (at least for instagram). ​ As of now my Instagram homepage is filled entirely with businesses, some of them are related to what we do, but then we are also following major publications that are relevant in our field and there's not much chance to interact with those. ​ I'm thinking I might be better off unfollowing these massive accounts in favor of following individuals interested in what we do and businesses we collaborate with. This would make it easier to interact with them and boost our reach. ​ Is this the right move? submitted by /u/creativiii [link] [comments […]

I found old information through my Google search so I wanted to ask here to make sure that I don't make a mistake and get my Facebook account banned. I have an older Facebook page for my first website. Now I created a second site for a totally different audience and assume that it is best to not re-use the same Facebook pixel. I read that I must install the business manager software from Facebook in order to create a second account. Is that still correct or is there a simpler way? submitted by /u/groundhogpete [link] [comments […]

I have been using Supermetrics analytics tools linked with google data studio free trial and liked most parts of it. It allows me to create my own customized analytics reports on fb insights + ads. Unfortunately, it is way over my budget in terms of the needs that I have so far ($90). Do you know any other report tool (and only that - as I schedule posts manually to avoid any reach loss) that would do the job? For the ones that will take the time to answer, thanks you in advance guys 😇 submitted by /u/avneruzan [link] [comments […]

I'm managing media and marketing for a comedy show in a festival next month and I'm going to use optimised posts - was going to make a sponsored event to get ticket sales and then an sponsored post for general awareness/top of mind. I'm confident with my creative, copy, demo and geo etc... BUT The show goes for two days and the director wants to create two events, one for each show night and advertise them both. I thought it would be best to just stick to one - however, I don't actually know why that would be better than creating a duplicate ad - my thought is you might capture more audience with two show times rather than just one. Is there any difference? I just don't want go saying 'I know best', when I'm actually not sure! submitted by /u/zilla_darling [link] [comments […]
