Viacom tapped ListenFirst for data-driven video insights to revamp their Facebook video content strategy to boost reach and views.
Challenge
In January 2018, Facebook announced it was overhauling its News Feed to prioritize posts from friends and family. In particular, the platform would de-prioritize posts from media and businesses to make sure that “time spent on Facebook was time well spent.” As a result, media brands noticed significant decreases in their Facebook post reach and particularly, video views, in 2018. What could media brands do to get back up to pre-algorithm change numbers?
