How do you find the right players that out there but not easy to find
FB should be simple, you ad to audiences you define and that should be itAds directed at individual person in your demographic
20+ targeting parameters, each has potentially a subsect of many more options (ages, interests, countries (cities, regions, etc))Need to find right message thru the right medium targeted towards the right audience

If only it was this easy. Your new players aren’t going to raise their hands for you to find them.We’re not all Biggy Smalls, we’re developers who know how to create awesome content and we need to find the right players so you can (XXXX)
This is a questionWhat is your business model, what are your KPIs?What looking to drive (time on site vs installs vs in-app purchases)
Why important?LTV over 6 months is fundamentally different than driving installsEach PMD has a different niche and algorithms adjusted to drive to those definitions. Need to first define your goals to find the right advertising partner for you.
Great place to start = with your current fansLeverage your fan page that you’ve been building up in anticipation for the new release of your game
Leverage CRM, target your specific players with new games (cross selling)Game huge in 2012 but on the decline, move them to your new release

FB is global, you can reach nearly everyone in the world, especially those people who have a smartphone or device to play a game.But quality varies by region, so it’s critical to target the right geography
What we’ve observed thru tens of billions of impressions is that between4 pm -10 PM ET = peak engagementWe have a client running 2 campaigns: peak & off-hours; ability to scale up with decreased CPCs during off hours (and peak paused) then during peak hours we increase bidding to drive the best ROI from the most responsive players
Need data and analytics to see what users are doing. If you’re not, you’re advertising blindly and not maximizing your ROI.Testing need to find the right messages and connect them with the right audiencesReporting not just window to your data but also record of successes and failures to constantly improve; great tool for new campaigns to avoid past mistakes
I’d like to share with you some of the lessons we learned while promoting 10 out of the 50 top FB grossing apps.
Use custom audiences to reach Friends of Fans and not reach current players or exclude current players from new acquisition campaigns.
Much higher interaction.Altho much less CR (due to drop offs w/ DLs and installs), lower CPCs = lower CPAs
Targeting your audience in different countries isn’t always the same. It can sometimes come at a cost.Note: much higher CPCs for AU, NZ, JPThat being said, we see that AU monetizes better than any country
