use has dropped significantly - what’s happening?

35. Be great in 8
1. Numbers are your friend
2. Less is more: the poorest
performers overproduce
content
3. Be aware of platform
dependency
4. Talk to people
5. Text still matters, but, are you
overproducing? (If you are a
newspaper, no problemo).
6. Build in experimentation
7. You don’t need to be everything
to everyone
8. The female audience: FB (&
Twitter etc) need to do a better
job of tracking this

Why are people going to these platforms?
Just because you’re big doesn’t mean you’re best, its about building relationship with your audience
Numbers are your friend
Less is more: best performing accounts are niche/conservative with their posts. They know who their audience is and they know what they’re delivering
Conversely, the poorest performers overproduce content (ie, spamming their audience), and generally have the largest inactive audiences
Is it time to rethink FB lives generally don’t work. Apply liberally
(Cross functional teams - Aine- neva labs) Numbers can only tell your part of that story. Next step is to go to desk people and find patterns - what is it that works for business - dress code, don’t call me bossy, asian market inforgraphics and what works where?
You don’t need to be everything to everyone.
