As at the end of November 2020 in the Facebook Marketing Expert Episode # 16 Facebook marketing expert Peer brings Thilda (Strategic Partner Manager at Instagram) and Carsta Maria (Strategy Partner Manager at Facebook) in front of the microphone to get to the bottom of myths on the Facebook platforms.

  • Meaningful Social Interaction: Are comments really only “counted” that contain at least four words and an emoji? And does the type of reaction affect the visibility of a post?
  • Instagram doesn’t deliver real business results: Is Instagram really only suitable for stunts and promotions, but not for ongoing brand and sales campaigns?
  • If as a creator I use the If I use Branded Content Tag, does my reach automatically reduce?
