With Facebook Insights we were able to test different

ad types and boosted posts to target the bank’s

markets and dramatically increase results. The

Facebook ad budget was $1,200.

Fun Size Campaign Highlights  

Not only were we able to engage current fans and

grow the bank’s fan base, but we “softly” promoted

an enhanced banking product: the bank’s new

responsive online banking platform.

Fun Size Campaign Highlights  

The Halloween theme brings forth good memories

from childhood with a lot of people and they

associate that good feeling with the bank’s brand.

Once we reached over

5,000 fans, we thanked them.

We are now planning future

engagement strategies.
