Overview

Effective use of compelling images in social posts drove most engagement measuredin FB shares and RTs

Paid Facebook Ads guarantee more visibility and engagement for a very moderate

budget: a total reach of more than 55 K FB users for the cost of $ 90 divided over 4

campaigns.

More effective Google AdWords campaigns drove more traffic to the website and could

be developed even more.

Twitter Ads bought via a budget Twitter gifted to us didn't show the same success as

FB Ads campaigns with impressions ranging between 3K and 4K.
