A typical Facebook Entertainment CP and CSM could never be called normal. This is the vertical of dreams, coming to work in bowler hats, and literally walking on walls. Such is a day in the life of our US GMS special

edition Play of the Week team located in New York, Austin, MPK and Los Angeles, California. What people may not know is that the Entertainment Team is on fire. Hyper disciplined, and working off of detailed 30/60/90 day plans, team members prepare for each client meeting armed with easy-to-understand value propositions, case studies, objection posi-tioning, and a deep understanding of the client’s business. Result? Double-digit growth YoY, shifting TV and DR budgets, and a new confidence amongst the team that anything is possible when you plan the work, and work the plan.

THE ART OF THE DEAL

#HollywoodEntertainment products are a risky bet.

Nine out of ten movies and television shows fail to make their money back. But if they can find an audience, the

sky’s the limit. Facebook is increasingly part of that audience equation.

Entertainment’s Dave Yang, Emily Kinniard, and Jack Wiese convinced NBC to becoming the first television network to use auto-play video ads to promote their midseason shows

And as Netflix shifted their strategy to establishing their brand and doubling down on original content, the Streaming team of Business Lead Mike Rooney & CSM Tom O’Reilly worked closely with the client to prove that Facebook is an invaluable brand building tool.

Netflix ran Premium Auto Play Video for the second season of Orange is the New Black, reaching over 18 million people in their target demo (Females 21-49) and driving over six million video views in one day.

Media & Publishing’s CP Brian Neal and CSM John Smolen have done an amazing job convincing clients in this historically late to the game business area of the value of Facebook.

Answers.com, a SMB referral at the end of Q4, has grown with the help of prioritized tools and education that has propelled the account to go from just under $2M in 2013 to $10.5M YTD

Our Live Events team (CP Ashley Bradbury & CSM Amelia Rossi) partnered with the Public Content and Platform Partnership teams to create and execute a first-of-its-kind deal with Live Nation for Beyoncé and Jay Z’s “On the Run Tour.”

The team paired Reach & Frequency campaigns with Custom Audiences to maximize reach and drive efficient retargeting. It was also the first concert to use Facebook’s new Verified Events product, making it easier for fans to discover and buy tickets on Facebook. Not only was this the Live Nation’s largest investment in Facebook to-date, we received the commitment to move budget from other channels for upcoming promotions of the tour.

SPOTLIGHTUS GMS Celebrating creative excellence / Facebook Studio Awards

Facebook BLUE AWARD WINNERDrogas / Newcastle Brown Ale

As the ‘No Bollocks’ beer brand, Newcastle Brown Ale is dedicated to refreshing honesty in a beer category rife with

gimmicks and over-promises.

Featuring actress Anna Kendrick and football legend Keyshawn Johnson, Newcastle introduced the world to a series of teasers,

storyboards, focus groups, and behind-the-scenes footage of the greatest Big Game ad that never was.

Facebook @ CannesFrom June 15-20, the Facebook Team will be Canne Lions, the world’s biggest celebration of creativity in communications.

We believe being part of Cannes is important to deepen our relationships with advertisers and agencies, to celebrate great creative happening on Facebook, and to highlight the latest creative solutions we’re enabling marketers to leverage with Facebook.

Facebook SILVER AWARD WINNERVML / Wendy’s

Wendy’s wanted to drive more sales of its Bacon Portabella Melt on Brioche product by overcoming one particular hurdle: many

people were too embarrassed to order it because they didn’t know how to pronounce it.

In the end, “brioche” was demystified, and more importantly, people were ordering it in droves. In fact, national sales of the

limited-time-only sandwich exceeded goals each week.

Facebook GOLD AWARD WINNERSaatchi & Saatchi / Toyota Norway

Driving a hybrid has a positive environmental effect, and the owners are proud of this. So rather than having car salesmen

persuade new buyers, Toyota let the hybrid owners themselves lend a hand by being recruited as brand ambassadors.

There was a huge interest generated, with over one-third of Nowegians remembering the campaign, and 60% of the

Facebook traffic to Toyota’s website coming from mobile devices.
