MONTREAL, QUEBEC and TORONTO, ONTARIO and MEXICO, MEXICO and PARIS, FRANCE — (Marketwire) — 10/24/12 — Parta Dialogue (TSX VENTURE: PAD) (“PARTA” or the “Company”), experts in Social Campaign Optimization and Social Learning, issues comments from Tom Liacas, its Chief Social Media Strategist, on the widely reported changes to Facebook-s Edgerank algorithm, that has global advertising giants up in arms.
This past September, Facebook made adjustments to its Edgerank algorithm, the mechanism that determines how often and how prominently content from different sources appears on a given user-s wall. Given the fact that some global brands have spent millions buying -likes- for their Facebook Pages and that the new changes in Edgerank dramatically affect the reach of branded content, they have been publicly decried by advertising execs, notably those at Ogilvy and WPP.
Tom Liacas, Chief Strategist of Parta Dialogue-s #engagementlabs division, welcomes the changes. “At #engagementlabs, we have always maintained that the best ROI from social media efforts is achieved when money is put on engagement strategy rather than paid audience acquisition. Social media is a conversational medium so it is only natural that Facebook seeks to further reward content that generates interactions between users and give less reach to promotional messaging,” states Liacas.
Liacas points to results obtained from Parta Dialogue-s eValue Social Media ROI Suite, a software as a service tool currently measuring the performance of over 20,000 corporate Facebook accounts. “Time and again, results show that a smaller Facebook community, if it generates high levels of engagement, can outperform a much larger community. As brands pay more and more to reach the same audiences, engagement is the only variable that can be used to measure the cost-efficiency of social media campaigns,” states Liacas.
