What is Facebook’s PMD program?
“PMDs, or “Preferred Marketing Developers”,
have clearly demonstrated unique capabilities
that help marketers scale and achieve efficiency,
and extend measurably beyond the functionality
of Facebook's native tools. Companies that
hold the PMD Badge are reviewed periodically
by Facebook, and must demonstrate an
ongoing high-standard of excellence.”
“The PMD Badge is awarded to developers that
have demonstrated value-added capabilities in
one or more of the following qualification areas:
Pages, Ads, Apps, and Insights.”
“Die Socialisten” hold the Pages- & Apps-badge
since April 2012.

In 2014,
Social Media Marketing
Must Go Beyond Facebook Tabs!
- Facebook Tabs are not available on Mobile!
- Decreased organic Reach of Page posts,
Decreased incentive for users to share
= More Ads necessary to boost marketing campaigns!
- Brands need Cross-Platform marketing solutions!
It’s also about Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, Tumblr…

You’re almost there!
But don’t forget…
- On your Landing Page, encourage “Public Sharing”
(On Facebook & Google+, many users don’t share “public” by default!)
- Respect the Terms of Service of all supported platforms!
- Have Moderation Tools in hand to filter the “bad stuff”
- Hashtag Campaigns only succeed, if the transported message
“clicks” with the target audience (easy for “love brands”,
quite difficult for others)
- Integrate with Print/TV to further spread the Hashtag!
