Power Tools for Facebook JEFF RAGOVIN CRO, Buddy Media
The Prestige Industry on Facebook MAUREEN MULLEN Lead Researcher, L2
2010 was the year of Facebook. In 2010, Facebook overtook Google as the most popular U.S destination on the Internet and also started commanding the largest market share of online display ads in the U.S. With more than 500 million active global users sharing 30 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) every month, Facebook has become the default operating system of the Internet. Furthermore, with several major brands receiving more traffic to their Facebook pages than their branded URLs, building a compelling Facebook strategy has become an increasingly important part of marketing your brand and connecting with consumers.
Facebook, In-Depth is an intensive clinic that educates marketers and senior management on the world's largest social network. L2 invites an unprecedented group of scholars, thinkers, entrepreneurs, technologists, and exemplar brands to put together a daylong curriculum on Facebook.

Activities that direct the flow of goods and services from producers to consumers. In advanced industrial economies, marketing considerations play a major role in determining corporate policy. Once primarily concerned with increasing sales through advertising and other promotional techniques, corporate marketing departments now focus on credit policies (seecredit), product development, customer support, distribution, and corporate communications. Marketers may look for outlets through which to sell the company's products, including retail stores, direct-mail marketing, and wholesaling. They may make psychological and demographic studies of a potential market, experiment with various marketing strategies, and conduct informal interviews with target audiences. Marketing is used both to increase sales of an existing product and to introduce new products. See alsomerchandising.
