- Very happy to be here today and share with you what we’ve learned about FB ads these years
- First of all, I’d like to say a few words about RF, then I’ll present you some key figures of the EMEA market Then, I’ll explain why we chose ads at Radio France and how we measure it We’ve made several mistakes and I hope the 7 examples I’ll show you will be of usefull interest Then I’ll give you five tips might be usefull for your next campaigns. To conclude, I’ll present you our two thousand thirteen achievements and what we plan to do next year.
- A few words about Radio France. Radio France is the french public radio, as NPR is in the US. We are the 1fst broadcasting group on podcast downloadi with fifteen millions of downloads every month We are aslo leaders on social media on the radio french market However, on the web traffic, we still have to catch up
- Our social media organization, is, I believe quite original and I’m convinced that it’s one of the main reasons wihich explains our success. Indeed, the campaigns are not managed day-to-day by the marketing team but by the editorial teams. As a matter of fact, we are more like an expert and support team than a supervising one We have totally internalized the FB ads campaign management which allows us a better reactivity and a weekly contact with Facebook Each radio has a dedicated monthly budget and a great freedom of action.Advantages :- High reaction speed to hot news- Many low cost small thematic fine targeted campaigns which engage very well
- It’s very difficult to obtain french market data from Facebook. Here are EMEA key figures I am convinced that the numbers are quite similar for France CPC remains low for the moment, but I don’t think it will last forever
- For a public service group like us with such a strong broadcasting power, one might wonder why social media are so important for us. Here is the answer
- Radio France’s sub investment on digital for more than 10 years resulted in a huge delay In 2011, everything changed, a new strategy and significant resources were settled
- We tackled on social media for two main reasons Firstly, to create a community
- Then, to engage with our listeners and increase in visibiity
- To measure our actions, we mainly use 4 KPI’s nothing really new but still a good thing to remenber First of all, our reach : Is the number of people we reach increasing properly ?
- Secondly, the trafic we generate from our social media actions. In the end, what we want is bringing people on our sites and applications On french media sites, the traffic share from Facebook is about 4%. Ours is now about 6%
- Thirdly, the number of pages per visit we generate. Why ? Because we can therefore check the good quality of the visits and if the visitors are likely to become a regular audience
- Finally, engagement of course Because we want to interact with our readers and listeners
- You cannot succeed at the beginning
- Thanks to Facebook ads we have noticed a huge increase in our number of fans within one year. The ads have enabled the starting of an organic growth engine which is now largely self feeds
- lessons:The link is not very attractive, the holiday season is not exactly the perfect moment for traffic generation, the targeting is not well advised We could have targeted on : Pink Floyd without hashtag, the name of the group leader the group member names, the well known album tracks ...)
- I woukd like to show you seven major mistakes we made, which might be useful to know Firstly: ad positioning. We’ve tried out the sidebar ads. We failed
- Usually, the sidebar is not effective
- Secondly, the ad format itself. Some are not very effective. This is probably why Facebook decided to remove a lot of them few months ago We’ve tried the search ad format. We used it until it was withdrawn, but only occasionally and for LIVE events
- Targeting is probably what explains our good performance.A large number of small campaigns is more effective than few big onesBut it requires a work organization and ressources to do so.
- This is a specificity of Radio France to be listened to in many countries around in the world Firstly we used ads to takle the French-speaking countries. Now, everything’s fine
- Here you can see that seventy five percents of France Culture fans are not French fans. And I can assure you that they are not fake fans
- This is a very important point : the copyrighting rules ! You need to carefully work out your headlines. Advantage of our organization: headlines are very editorializedDrawbacks of our organization: they are sometimes not enough marketed and catchy
- You need a beautiful, strong engaging photo. A picture means more than 10 words
- Here are two examples On the left hand side a post On Jacky O « Everything you didn’t know about Jackie O ». Catchy headline, short, efective + a link + a hashtag + a nice photo On the right hand side A far too long text Misplaced arrows An unattractive photo
- The lack of precise measure is a big mistake
- Here You can see the evolution curve of the Facebook traffic on France Bleu As you can see the traffic has ben significantly growing for one year. The new France Bleu website was launched in November 2012. As you can also see, Google+ doesn’t break out in France…
- OK, enough about our mistakes, Let’s talk about what works now
- Targeting users according to other brands they like works fine.
- To be clear, the ads in the timeline are what work the best for a while now. It is more expensive but much more effective. We use page post link ads on a daily basis with great success. This ad allows us to generate engagement and traffic
- Tip 3, page like ad. We use it for long term campaigns It allows us to support the increase of our fan base Quite simple to monitor and set-up and very effective
- Page post photo and video ads are the best ads to engage. This kind of ad generates a lot of shares and likes
- This ad is just the most effective in generating apps downloads. Particularly useful for Google Play rankings which require a steady increase in downloads There are still few advertisers in France on this format but it is already changing. To be monitored closely
- let us set a record of the past year for Radio France
- After a learning curve of almost 2 years, we are very satisfied with the CTR and CPC we reach now, much far much better than the French market ones. As we’ll probably be unable to improve these figures, we will focus on other KPIs next year
- Let me talk about next year strategy now
- We have four keys for our strategy Firtly, Accelerating on Mobile App Install Ads Mobile traffic explodes in Europe also, we need to win more and more users everyday Secondly, Bringing CRM ad Social CRM together As a state company we are concerned about providing Facebook with more data on our listeners than they already have Thirdly, Test new formats New formats should be tested as soon as possible, in order to benefit from them while there are few advertisers Finally, Performance We still need to significantly improve the traffic generated on our sites and applications via Facebook
- Thank you for your attention. I hope this presentation has been helpful and I wish you succesful campaigns
