Here you can see videos Mogi Marketing has produced for the Recruitment Company TalkHR and then uploaded them to their Facebook Page, the style is simple but engaging. It's not too long and is normally used in conjunction with Facebook Advertising to get the maximum views (in this case the job role was filled immediately so advertising wasn't required!). You'll notice that at the end of each video there is a link to the job role specifics too.

There is evidence that Facebook will be placing more and more importance on video in terms of the content it displays in the Facebook News Feed so now is the right time to produce and upload more video content.

We were also commissioned to record video of a regular networking event the recruitment company holds. This particular event featured a talk by Manjula Bray, on psychometric recruitment and also one on performance management by masters student and TalkHR employee, Laura Carpenter. The videos were uploaded to YouTUbe and tagged correctly to improve SEO for TalkHR.

The marketing objective behind producing these videos is to increase search engine traffic and promote the regular networking events. In addition it creates a high quality image of the recruitment consultants as 'thought leaders' in their field.

Mogi Marketing also produced a custom Facebook CV collecting application for TalkHR. This unique campaign used the Facebook developer platform to build additional functionality into the client's Facebook page to help collect CVs for specific job roles.
We also incentivised uploadding CVs by giving away an iPad. The app allowed following:

• Collecting CVs for 6 specific roles
• Increasing the 'likes' of their Facebook page
• Offering a share functionality once people had uploaded their CV to post to their personal timeline (optional)
• CVs exported automatically to the client's Dropbox folder
• Optional ability of the CVs to go to specific email addresses depending on which role the user selects (useful for HR Consultancies with multiple offices)

Many businesses don't have massive marketing budgets and some ideas get shelved because of the cost.

We get that, so we've reduced the price one of some of our managed Facebook competitions (using Facebook Apps) which is one of our most popular products.

Facebook apps are one of the best way's to increase the number of likes on your Facebook page as well as capture more information about your audience (such as email, likes or dislikes and interests).

Case studies are the best way we know to share what we do and the cognation project really shows what can be achieved.

As well as the fun, we've delivered serious online marketing results. Take a look at the full case study to see what we mean.

For many of us, all we have to do to update our favourite social media site like Facebook is whip out our smart phone and post our status update. But what do you do when you're on a small yacht in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean 1000 nautical miles from land?!

Our friends Steve and Annemarie are currently sailing their 12.7m yacht from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean. Thanks to technology we can follow them and live this amazing experience with them day by day through Facebook, their blog and also a location tracking device.

The image below is a screen capture showing their live position (click image to see the latest) and the blog (bottom of page) gives an amazing insight into life aboard a small boat in the middle of the ocean. They're managing to post regular blogs that are also simultaneously posted to Facebook.

If like us, you spend most of your time at a desk in an office, following this adventure is wonderful escapism and we wish Steve and Annemarie safe travels.

In our latest work with our client Aquapac they have teamed up with outdoor headgear company Buff USA to give away a load of great outdoor adventure gear.

From a marketing perspective, the app does the following:

• Captures 'Likes'
• Promotes the brands
• Captures email and other contact info
• Encourages viral sharing
• Provides quality content for regular sharing on social media sites and generating conversations and post likes

A week or two ago Facebook changed the rules on how you can run promotions (competitions) on Facebook making it now possible to run promotions on your page timeline something which you weren’t supposed to do before.

The change basically makes it easier to run short-term, low-key competitions but Facebook apps are still essential for when you really want to get the most from a promotion. Here are some quick reasons why:

1. Using a Facebook app allows you to increase you Page likes (using something called a Fan Gate). Running a competition on your timeline is open to everyone, Fans and non-fans
2. Facebook apps allow you to capture email addresses and other information such as age or town they live in. You can then use this (with their permission) to keep them up to date using email newsletters for example
3. You can make the experience more customised and interactive using voting, slideshows and other integrated options
4. You can incentivise ‘sharing’ something you’re not able or allowed to do on the timeline
5. You can brand your Facebook app to your business to give a better feel to users
6. An app allows you to write and host rules and T&Cs which is a little more fiddly and ugly on a timeline wall post

How should I decide what’s best for my business? Here’s what Facebook says:

In a nutshell, if you want to capture data, likes and run a promotion that asks users to interact more an app will give you a lot of flexibility to achieve this. However if you just want to do a quick promotion, where you’re not expecting a large amount of entries and are ok to pick the winner manually then using a page post might be good.

You need to evaluate your businesses’ goals and decide what’s right for you.
