Facebook is a social network, not just an advertising
platform.
People are looking for social and personal benefits that content
and media can give, on every social network.
Agencies need to understand how Facebook works (and
other social networks) in order to build stronger brand equity.
Always include social in your campaigns!
Now you know.
