Facebook Audience Network helps developers and publishers monetise their websites and mobile apps through access to over 4 million global Facebook advertisers.
The integrable solution harnesses its extensive user data resources to allow publishers to target audiences more effectively and cost efficiently. The French perfume agency Lancome saw a 6.4x lower CPV on Audience Network vs. Facebook when targeting an audience of 25-35-year-old women through a highly effective celebrity endorsed video, the product New Lancôme Energie De Vie. Additionally, the video streamed with subtitles across multilingual users which allowed the video to make sense without sound.
The platform simply provides better ads and better formats than many of its competitors, featuring real-time optimisation capabilities; Facebook Audience Network supports engaging content and cross compatible formats. Based on the tremendous ability Facebook has to retarget it’s customer demographic outside of Facebook it makes sense for medium and large companies to join in. Spotify, the music, podcast, and video streaming service was willing to make the leap from traditional In-Facebook advertising to the Audience Network and expanded their reach by 20% as a result.
