Welcome to another edition of Marketing Updates With Motion Ave. Facebook is back in the spotlight with new features. LinkedIn and Snapchat have some new ads updates, too!
LinkedIn Launches New Retargeting Tools
LinkedIn has launched new features related to video ads, lead-generation forms, and integrations for the LinkedIn Audience Network. From now on, advertisers can retarget users who have seen a particular percentage of a video ad or who have filled out or opened a lead generation form before. Based on internal testing, LinkedIn claims these features can increase conversions by as much as 20%, and reduce conversion costs by up to 24%.

Facebook Joins The Email Marketing Industry
Facebook launches a new option to create email marketing campaigns from Pages and become a CRM solution in their own right. To use this feature, Pages must confirm a Page email address, and manually added email contacts must confirm they want to receive these messages. Facebook emails will not be used as a database.

Facebook’s Photo and Video Transfer Tool Is Now Available Globally
Several months ago, Facebook tested this tool, allowing users to transfer their photos and videos to a linked account on Google Photos, in America, Asia and Africa. Now, the feature will finally be available globally. Facebook next plans to allow users to transfer media to other platforms, such as Microsoft or Twitter, who join the Data Transfer Program.
