PUBCON MASTERS GROUP SOCIAL MEDIA TRACK DETAILS

 

Part 1: Facebook Ad Optimization Tricks the Pros Use – Dennis Yu

 

Social ads are about amplifying user actions, not about broadcasting creative. Learn how to match the right content to the right audience by building target grids. Choose the right mix of sponsored stories to grow audience and engagement. Discover when to optimize against CTR vs. against CPC — and three surprising cases where CTR or CPC don’t even matter. What is the skinny on the new sponsored results ads in Facebook search, and how does it differ from Google brand bidding.

 

We’ll also cover organizational issues — you will walk away with a framework to coordinate with folks on other marketing teams. Where does social advertising end and creative begin? How do you build a social ROI model that everyone else will buy into? If you’re a consultant or agency, what types of automation are most effective to manage many complex client campaigns? How do you estimate campaign performance when you don’t have historical data? When are Facebook’s own estimation tools faulty, requiring you to override them?

 

We’ll also equip you with ad campaign templates, weekly ad reporting documents, strategy documents to sell the value of your role, and other assets you get to swipe as a participant in this Masters Group training.

 

Part 2: LinkedIn Marketing — Ads and Organic – Jabez LeBret

 

When it comes to social strategies LinkedIn is the most underdeveloped opportunity. The fact is most companies suck at marketing on LinkedIn. From SEM to paid ads, this session is going to dive into the theory of LinkedIn marketing coupled with actionable tactics that any size firm can use to leverage this social network. Since LinkedIn is dramatically different from Twitter, Facebook, and most ad platforms, your approach to this network requires a strong understanding of both the LinkedIn user and their habits.

 

Topics that will be covered include:

  • SEO and LinkedIn
  • The New Company Pages
  • Creating Your Own Group and Selling the $#%& Out of It
  • LinkedIn Ad Network: Creating and Succeed with Your Ad Campaigns
  • How to Not Suck at LinkedIn

Part 3: Facebook Marketing – Alison Zarrella

 

Facebook may not be a new phenomenon, but the site is an ever-changing and evolving marketing platform that brands of all sizes can — and should — be taking advantage of to grow their business and engage with their customers. This session will take you through Facebook optimization, content creation, customer engagement, brand management and more. Learn best practices for managing and monitoring your page, as well as free tools and tips for posting content. We’ll discuss how to build contagious engagement for your brand on Facebook and look at how to build a content calendar for maximum efficiency. Finally, we’ll cover the recent changes to Facebook from the user’s perspective, what this means for brands, and how to target fans.

 

Part 4: Twitter and Facebook Optimization – Dan Zarrella

 

Social media marketing doesn’t have to be black magic and soft-focus-unicorns-and-rainbows. Science and real, hard data can get us beyond the same-old “engage in the conversation” and “be authentic” advice. Learn what drives people to share information and opinions online, and learn scientifically-proven practices for spreading your content virally through social media. You’ll have plenty of time for Q&A with Dan Zarrella, social media and viral marketing scientist and author of “The Social Media Marketing Book.”

 

Part 5: SMM Question and Answer Session – Faculty

 

A rare opportunity to have specific questions answered by Pubcon’s expert SMM speakers in this rapid-fire Q&A session.
