People-Based Marketing: Thinking People-First Planning and Measurement

Learn how putting people at the center of your marketing strategies will drive real business results.

The goal of advertising has always been the same: reach the right person, at the right place, at the right time, with the right message—to drive real business results.

However, with the rise of technologies like mobile, people’s time and attention have become more and more fragmented and this has made it difficult for marketers to determine when, where and how best to reach people. For these reasons, planners and strategists today have the complicated job to determine where to plan and optimize their media towards, most effectively.

So how are we thinking of tackling this increasingly complex reality? Through the lens of people.

At Facebook, we’ve begun to see that people-based marketing strategies result in better planning and measurement across platforms and devices. And while it may be difficult to entirely switch to this strategy today, there are ways we can start down the path to change to help prepare us for the future.

In the future, we want to be in a place where we can specify an audience, how many times they’ll see an ad and deliver that consistently and accurately across all channels and formats. Because highly valued audiences can be easily missed if the media is only in one silo.

So, what makes people-based marketing different?

Let’s start with a point of comparison. When thinking about planning for traditional mediums—like TV, print, and out of home—marketers look at the people who buy a product, characterize them in terms of their demographics, and then look for “the right place” where they're spending their time (i.e., Program A on Network B, or, Print Publication C). The goal is to find the right place to advertise while holding everything else constant.

Similarly, for digital planning, marketers first find their target audience but now can be more specific. For example, we can look for Adults 18-34 who are interested in coffee and live in Ohio. Then, we can show this group ads wherever they are on the internet. The goal here becomes to find the right group of people, while holding everything else constant.

With people-based marketing, marketers don’t hold anything constant. We now can find a person instead of large groups like “Adults 18-34” or “people who like coffee” and reach them on whatever device or platform they may be on. Because today, reach and attention is fragmented across devices and platforms. Every one of these variables will change with every exposure, and planning for people for where they are will allow marketers to efficiently achieve and scale the goal of showing the right ad, to the right person, at the right time.

People-based Measurement and Planning in Action

In order to plan for people, there is a need to understand where people are spending their time and the impact of different marketing strategies. Measuring channels in silos limits your visibility into the full impact of your advertising efforts. People-based measurement results can help inform the entire marketing lifecycle, across devices and channels. With people-based data and tools, marketers are able to tie actions directly to real people wherever they may be, and close the measurement gaps that exist with traditional cookie-based measurement—which doesn’t capture the full consumer journey.

Facebook measurement tools for example, are based on insights from people, and give marketers the ability to measure campaigns on and off Facebook, on both desktop and mobile devices and in any online environment. When looking at attribution and reach, this approach gives marketers a holistic look at their advertising performance—something not possible to do before.
