Event Details
Along with Google's search and display networks, Facebook is one of the big players when it comes to online advertising. As Facebook users interact with the platform, adding demographic information, liking particular pages and commenting on specific posts, Facebook builds a profile of that user based on who they are and what they are interested in.
This fact makes Facebook very attractive for advertisers. Advertisers can create Facebook adverts, and then create an 'Audience' for that advert or group of adverts. Audiences can be built from a range of attributes including gender, age, location and interests. This specific targeting means advertisers can tailor content appropriately for a specific audience, even if the product being marketed is the same.
For example, let us imagine a company wants to advertise its new car. They may wish to promote one set of features, performance and the 2-kW stereo, to women in their early twenties. They might decide that they want to talk about its fuel efficiency and reduced emissions to men in their thirties, and they might want to push the spacious interior and safety rating to men and women in their thirties and early forties who are interested in Families magazine and who like pages of nappy and baby clothes manufacturers.
This hands-on practical Capstone Project provides you with an opportunity to work on Facebook Ads datasets to increase the company’s ROI. You will be challenged to use your newly acquired quantitative and business communication skills to derive business insights for complex analytic problems in real-world settings.
