Facebook has gone and done it again… They changed the way the newsfeed reacts to normal usage. One of the most frustrating things we’ve noticed is that Facebook toggles back to showing what they believe to be the “Top News” which could be as ridiculous as a post that one of your friends commented on that had received a ton of engagement. Now this is great for brands and individuals that are creating engaging posts, but it’s horrible when you’re looking to be updated with the most recent posts from pages and friends. A lot gets lost this way and although it was similar to this before, Facebook’s toggle to “Most Recent” seemed to stay and it didn’t revert back to “Top News” with every refresh of the page.

Here’s the easiest way to see the most recent content your connections … Read More »

Our day began as it usually does, hustling to get content up for client accounts on Facebook, checking Twitter, making sure social ads are performing and grabbing sips of coffee in between page loads.

We’ve removed the requirement that promotions on Facebook only be administered through apps
Now, promotions may be administered on Page Timelines and in apps on Facebook. For example, businesses can now:

Collect entries by having users post on the Page or comment/like a Page post

Collect entries by having users message the Page

Utilize likes as a voting mechanism

As before, however, businesses cannot administer promotions on personal Timelines.
Accurate tagging is required in promotions
In order to maintain the accuracy of Page content, our Pages Terms now prohibit Pages from tagging or encouraging people to tag themselves in content that they are not actually depicted in. So, for instance:

This time last year KiMedia Strategies was dealing with just losing their largest client due to budget cuts. It was one of the worst experiences to go through, yet a learning experience that made us stronger in the end. With only a handful of clients the spring of 2012 was rough and it wasn’t until June that everything began looking up. It was in June that our dear friends over at Tropik Media made a suggestion that turned into an introduction to some local Beef ‘O’ Brady’s restaurants and then like magic KiMedia Strategies found its path once again.

Why am I telling you this? I have always been 100% transparent online and although most companies focus on the positive, you rarely ever hear the struggles especially around the company birthday. I think… no… I know that the struggles and hardships … Read More »
