How An Online Marketing Firm May Look At Facebook's Potential Ads

By Robert Sutter


It's clear that social media is approached, by many, as something of an ad-focused experience. Facebook, for example, has a number of ads that can be seen on news feeds and it's clear that some of these will be able to stand out more than others. Even though Facebook ads have been around for quite some time, it seems like matters will shift in order for the site to appear similar to that of Google. If you're curious as to what this means, an online marketing firm may tell you more.

As a report on Mashable detailed, Kenshoo Social created a new piece of technology for the purposes of ad creation. For those who do not know, Kenshoo Social is not only a company that is focused on the idea of ad tech but is actually a partner of Facebook as well. What exactly does the technology in question feature, though, you may wonder? What this does is that it can focus on the sites clicked on through search engines - Google, Bing, and what have you - as well as the keywords utilized.

For those who are lost as to what exactly this means, take this example into consideration. What if you go onto Bing and decide to search for "televisions" before clicking on an online retailer that specializes in entertainment? When you log onto Facebook again, there is a good chance that there will be ads featuring websites that you will be able to buy TVs from. When you go about searches on Bing, or any search engine for that matter, advertisements on Facebook will be tailored to them.

It's not like the idea of targeting consumers based on websites that they visit is anything new. With that said, Kenshoo Social's approach should be noted by any online marketing firm because of how it is more keyword-based than anything else. In terms of social media and search engines, firms along the lines of fishbat understand the importance of keywords. When it comes to social media-curated ads, though, keyword results were not previously available to marketing specialists. With Kenshoo Social's technology in place, marketing stands the chance of changing tremendously.

My only hope is that this method is utilized for the purpose of helping consumers sift through unwanted ads. Instead of being bombarded with products that they could not care less about, there is a strong possibility that matters can shift in order for said products to be more desirable. Marketers should be able to take advantage of this software. It's just a matter of the likelihood of it being utilized in order to help both companies and social media users alike.
