I’m Daniel.I’m an analyst at Seismonaut in Aarhus.
We work with digital and social media, social business and digital tourism.
We’ve done projects with public and private sector companies since 2007.
Today I’d like to talk about a few trends in the European market -that might also be relevant around the world.
Those trends are changes to Facebook reach and the rise of closed social media.
Where did my reach go?!
It’s mostly Facebook

Don’t panic...
Facebook has a problem: There is a finite amount of space in the News
Feed for both organic content and paid content.
Something has to go.But what?
Facebook is for people - not businesses. So businesses are the ones to feel the burn.

From an index to a magazine?

Changes to reach + magazine trend = ?

As a business on Facebook (and on social media), you need to be aware of this!
It might mean:
• Fewer but better updates• More focussed content• Changes to budgets• Should we really be on Facebook anymore?
http://palloc.com/ios-7-wallpaper-widescreen.html
What should you do right now?
• Make peace with the fact that reach has changed
• Make a decision about your budget• Consider using Facebook differently -
have you heard of Dark Posts? It’s split testing for Facebook-updates.
The most important thing is still great content!
“Nine out of ten Egyptians and Tunisians responded to a poll that they used Facebook to organize protests and spread awareness.”

Arab Spring
But let’s be honest -not all the content is great.
Closed Social Media
Is it secret? Is it safe?
http://palloc.com/ios-7-wallpaper-widescreen.html
You’ve probably heard that “secret social” is all the rage at the moment
http://palloc.com/ios-7-wallpaper-widescreen.html
What?A secret or closed social platform is:
• Not public• Often between small groups of people• Often used for small, sporadic content
Examples are Snapchat, Whatsapp, Telegram, Kik, Tango, Line...

Why?
http://palloc.com/ios-7-wallpaper-widescreen.htmlhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/darwinbell/521865587
1. I don’t want the web remembering everything
http://palloc.com/ios-7-wallpaper-widescreen.htmlhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/vatne/264871828
2. I don’t want to talk to everyone at once
http://palloc.com/ios-7-wallpaper-widescreen.htmlhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/61929486@N06/5635487399
3. I don’t want to pay for text messages

4. I don’t want the NSA listening in

Why?Probably one of three reasons:
1.I don’t want the web to remember everything2.I don’t want to talk to everyone at once3.I don’t want to pay for text messages4.I don’t want the NSA to listen in

A young platform - for now
This slide is based on an ask-around by Lasse From of DR and #140Tegn

What is Snapchat?• Send pictures (snaps) with writing and
drawings to friends.• Once the message has been seen, it deletes
- forever.• Also has “Stories” - public messages that
last for 24 hours• Currently mostly 13 - 25 y.o.’s

http://palloc.com/ios-7-wallpaper-widescreen.html
What about business?• Direct channel to users - feels like a personal
message• Good for teasers• A very engaged audience - high opening rate
(more on that in a bit)• Casual messages seem to work best - rough
graphics are better

Case: P3Host of morning show snaps his day.

Key Points from DR P3• Access to a platform where young people are - traditionally an
unloyal and fleeting group• High opening rate - very important• Timing: FB & Twitter peak in the evening - Snapchat peaks at
different times during the day, school hours and after school.
Age + timing + opening rate
Currently about 2500 “friends”

Snapchat Challenges• Time if using one-to-one messages• Lack of business features• Lack of statistics• Flaky app, slightly unsure future
