Facebook APIs: There's More Under the Hood than Anyone Knows
What’s available through Facebook’s APIs? No one really knows. Many think that the only available statistics lie in Facebook Insights, but since Facebook opened up their Insights API, a treasure trove of data is available to agencies and brands. API dashboards from companies like AllFacebook, Socialbakers and PageLever serve as the new focus groups and using their tools, agencies are able to identify a brands’ active and engaged fanbase and parallel those segments to determine if they’re reaching brands’ target consumer, if they’re targeting these consumers with paid Facebook ads and if not, what adjustments need to be made to their engagement strategy and idea of that brands’ target consumer. This session will also examine the role of social media as it relates to brands as a whole, and explain why there is so much value for brands on Facebook. We’ll go on to discuss confusion around ad APIs and Facebook Connect APIs (what brands can access within consumer profiles), and share what else Facebook tools and insights can bring to both social media marketing and brand positioning.
The latest in Mindshare's 'Future Of...' series focuses on connected TV.
Our view is that the connectivity that viewers enjoy on the sofa via the second screen will prove of more significance to media and marketing than the connected TV itself.
Breaking through the clutter: Using content, analytics and paid to achieve RO...22squared
The competition for consumer attention between brands is at an all-time high, and social media platforms get more complicated everyday, making it a daunting task for brands and small businesses to understand what it takes to drive awareness, engagement and sales. To achieve true ROI via platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, you need art and science. 22squared's Chris Tuff will simplify the newest platform technologies and offerings, discuss the nuances of the new marketing analytics, and provide 10 strategies for brands to create compelling content that spans multiple platforms and leverages paid to reach the right audiences, move product and drive true ROI.

The Evolution of Advertising: How Consumers Won the War for Their AttentionHubSpot
You're more likely to survive a plane crash than click a banner ad. Crazy, right? Consumers have learned to tune out advertising, but believe it or not, there was a time when products weren't branded, ad agencies didn't exist, and advertising as a profession was unheard of.
In this epic, must-see presentation, we explore the ENTIRE history and evolution of advertising to unveil how a comprehensive (yet digestible) timeline of advertising milestones led to an epidemic of consumer indifference, as well as what marketers can do about it to reach consumers in the years ahead.
Don't be discouraged by the 472 slides -- 29.39% of those are dedicated to awesome pictures and animations that make this a breeze to get through.

Structuring and Financing a Partner BuyoutGreg Tobben
Buying Out a Business Partner or Shareholder: Structuring and Financing the Deal
When an entrepreneur starts a new business, planning for a buyout of a business partner years in the future is rarely a top priority- but maybe it should be.
As businesses grow and evolve, so too do ownership or shareholder groups. The same partners or investors who took a company from startup to $20 million in revenues aren’t necessarily the right people to grow the company from $20 to $50 million, or $50 to $150 million, and so on.
Layer in retirements, partnership disputes and absentee or non-strategic owners receiving generous compensation, and making changes in ownership becomes increasingly more important (and costly) as the business grows.
On the next few pages, we’ll discuss:
1. When a Partner Buyout is a Solution
2. Valuing the Business
3. Structuring a Partner Buyout
4. Financing a Partner Buyout
5. Questions a Business Owner Should Ask When Raising Capital
6. Using an Investment Banker to Raise Capital for the Buyout

Another year has passed, and that means another look back at our own predictions on the trends that shaped our industry. Take a look at our 2014 report card and our thoughts on what's to come this year in the areas of shopping, media, technology, and consumer trends.
Today, as attention spans decrease and clutter increases, good content is the only way for brands to connect with the right people at the right time. But content marketing is not easy. And it's not luck. In this session at the CTAM Think conference, 22squared's Chris Tuff will explore how content has evolved and share strategies for creating compelling content that engages consumers, compliments traditional channels, and delivers greater value for brands.

Hello friends,
Yes, it’s that time of year again: a time for fruitcake, impassable traffic outside shopping malls, and the frantic search for the perfect gift. It’s also the time of year for that ubiquitous agency output — the trend piece.
I’ve generally found that these ponderous tomes have a shelf life roughly equivalent to the fruitcake mentioned above. After that, they become great paperweights or door-stoppers. Which is a shame, because a lot of time, sweat equity, and research go into developing them.
We often remark that 22squared is a different kind of agency — nimble, independent, collaborative — so it’s only fitting that we think about trends a little differently. We’re driven by a radical idea: that we should hold ourselves accountable for our lofty trend predictions.
Rather than creating a massive trend review and sending it out into the ether, never to be discussed again (until next’s years assignment rolls around), we wanted to revisit predictions we made at the outset of the year and see how close we came to gauging the future.
This is not to pat ourselves on the back if we were dead-on, or shame ourselves if we were dead-wrong, but rather to make sure we’re always building upon our learnings. At the end of the day, we believe trends are organic things: not a static fact at a certain moment in time, but living, evolving, shifting patterns that shape and guide the world we live in. It’s by charting the course of these predictions over time that we can begin to see (and harness) the impact they make on our clients’ businesses, and thus know what to look for in the coming year.
This piece has been a true collaboration, both within the Brand Planning department and across disciplines here at 22squared. We hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed pulling it together. We also sincerely hope that, as the new year rolls around, you won’t be using this as a door-stopper, but rather referencing it throughout the year to see how we stack up for next year’s trends time capsule.
Happy holidays, and happy reading -

A search for "Facebook Fatigue” on Google yields 48 million results, and Google Trends shows that the search term has never seen more volume than it did last month. In a February 5 survey of U.S. adults ages 18 and over by the Pew Research Center, 34% of current Facebook users said that the amount of time they spend on Facebook has decreased over the past year, with the number jumping to 42% for those adults ages 18 to 29.
However, with comScroe recently reporting that Facebook is the #1 website in terms of total digital time spent (at 10.8%), with 83% market share of time spent on social networks, are people saying one thing but doing another? How much of a threat are other social networks like Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest? What about the new sensation, Pheed, which recently rocketed to the #1 position in terms of most downloaded social networking app on Apples’ iTunes charts, are marketers concerned? What have they been experiencing in terms of engagement on Facebook? While Facebook Fatigue has long been a concern (“Why Do We Have Facebook Fatigue” was a popular post by uber blogger Om Malik in July 2007), the question feels more relevant today then ever.
Our speakers each look at Facebook from a different perspective, and they are each awash in data about user opinions and marketer experiences across geographies, demographics, and devices. By looking at trends over time, our speakers will bring additional context to the rapidly evolving Facebook universe, discuss what it means for the future of Facebook and digital marketing, and answer your questions.

Relevancy and Context: The Key to Great Mobile Experiences22squared
While we've been using the term "personal computing" for well over 40 years, the device in your pocket is really the first computer-worthy of the moniker. Consider that the typical smartphone possesses the senses of vision, audition, mechanoreception, equilibrioception, and thermoception; and they’re all backed by information regarding the user's location, friends, schedule, correspondence, etc. Now, top it off with a full-time connection to the Internet. If we define context as the sum total of everything that the user is experiencing at the moment of engagement, then the mobile device has the unique ability to gather contextual information and provide relevant content in ways never before imagined.

iPad Giveaways Suck: Taking Facebook contests and sweepstakes to the next level22squared
Jackson Hewitt was caught in a crowded environment, amidst a sea of big-spender competitors like H&R Block, Turbo Tax, and seasonal, local pop-up tax preparers. Jackson Hewitt developed an integrated campaign to drive brand awareness, fuel consumer conversation, and influence a once-a-year purchase decision by leveraging paid, owned and earned communication channels with 1/10th the budget of their national competition.
In this WOMM-U session, you will learn how they achieved this initial success using a delicate balance of paid, owned and earned strategies that truly scaled the WOM created from traditional campaign elements. They'll also share insights for how brands should be approaching contest and sweepstakes, including where to prioritize money spent.

Social Strategy: Why Does Strategy Get Left Behind?22squared
Don't let tactics wag your brand. It's simple, if you don't know "why" you are doing something... don't do it. Yes mobile apps, Facebook brand pages and Twitter are alluring to say the least. I'm not saying don't, just know why before you do. You can follow David on Twitter @iRollo
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending SXSW Interactive. In a nutshell, SXSWi is where all the geeks converge and talk about everything and anything digital. Surprisingly, me, my iPhone and my Mac laptop fit in well there. Who would've thought?
Anyway, this was my first year to go, so there was definitely a learning curve. There were so many speakers and topics to cover, it was quite overwhelming. But all in all, I had a blast and even learned a thing or two.
So here it goes, the thing or two I learned. Most of the stuff you might already have heard before, but it serves as a good reminder of how we should approach marketing, especially in the digital space. I've also conveniently left out all the things I learned from 5pm on (man, can geeks party).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Let’s go back to the stars example and this time take it a bit more seriously. Imagine if this nebula of stars is your Facebook fan base.\n
What if, out of the millions of stars in your nebula, only a couple hundred of them actually gave off light?\n\nIf only 1% of your millions of Facebook fans are active, then what’s the ROI?\n

Facebook’s native Insights dashboard helps you paint a rough sketch of what your fan looks like.\n
\n
That’s cool, but the real fans you should be concerned with are those that are active users. Facebook strangely provides this data in the Graph API, but not in their Insights dashboard. \n
According to the native Facebook Insights tool, the makeup of your fan base looks something like this.\n
But, by accessing active user demographics data available through the Graph API, you might find that your demographics look like this.\n
