16 corporate fanpages

7 CSR thematic fanpages

9 sport sponsorship

fanpages

7 special initiatives fanpages

Main findings

The trend is to open multiple Facebook fanpages

No Facebook pages dedicated to financial content

Just 1 company has a fanpage communicating its employer branding activities

Few examples of fanpages related to CSR or social initiatives

Sports sponsorship pages are the most engaging, but they don’t convey any corporate message

Beyond fans: focus on engagement

Success is not just a matter of number of fans

Effective fanpages are those engaging users on specific issues, topics or project through content designed specifically for the social media environment

The research shows that thematic pages stand out in terms of brand engagement

“All-rounder” company pages are relatively common (a total of 16), but excluding few examples, are less engaging and harder to manage

Content is the king: Barilla CFN

More person, less company approach: BNL Job
