Comments on: Does advertising on Facebook really work? http://www.adigaskell.org/blog/2011/11/10/does-advertising-on-facebook-really-work/ By a community manager, for community managers Wed, 19 Jun 2013 15:36:18 +0000 hourly 1 By: Adi Gaskell http://www.adigaskell.org/blog/2011/11/10/does-advertising-on-facebook-really-work/#comment-31598 Adi Gaskell Fri, 17 Aug 2012 11:50:40 +0000 http://www.adigaskell.org/blog/?p=567#comment-31598 The interesting thing is that FB are going to be putting ads in your news feed even if you don't like the company running the ad. Can't see that doing anything but pissing a lot of people off.

Even if they are bought into it though, I can imagine people might 'like' a Greenpeace page and show off their support in that way, but if you're Greenpeace having people like your Facebook page isn't going to make much difference to what you're trying to achieve. Slacktavism at its finest.

Can you tell I'm not a convert? :)

So they may be vulnarable to advertising in that sense. But most importantly, they engage on facebook relatively to their interests. So for example, if they're interested in joining eco activism groups and see an Ad for Greenpeace recruiting volunteers, it may attract them.

I follow a few 'brands' on there but it's mainly brands that offer information rather than products.
