THE PAIN OF A FACEBOOK DIGITAL MARKETER

 


Facebook is a social networking website that was founded in February 2004 by Harvard University students Chris Hughes, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and Mark Zuckerberg.

Facebook was created with the intention of providing an online book of faces for university students to connect and share information. It began as a social network for Harvard students and later expanded to include students from any university. It eventually evolved into a global social network for anyone, anywhere in the world. In 2004, the concept of a social network was new and not entirely unique. Friendster, which launched in 2002, and MySpace, which launched in 2003, were two other social networks that existed at the time Facebook was created. Users post information, status updates, and other content.

Facebook is not only a social networking site; it is also a business. On May 18, 2012, Facebook went public on the Nasdaq stock exchange, trading under the symbol FB. On October 28, 2021, the company rebranded as Meta. Facebook will trade under the symbol MVRS on December 1, 2021. Meta operates a number of technologies, including Facebook. In 2012, Facebook paid $1 billion for the social networking site Instagram. In 2014, Facebook paid $19 billion for WhatsApp. Facebook later entered the virtual reality (VR) hardware market with the $2 billion acquisition of Oculus VR in 2014. The goal of Meta is to create and enable the metaverse. This would combine social networking with virtual reality and augmented reality components.

Digital ad sellers have had a difficult year. But the problem is worse for Facebook's parent company, Meta Platforms, and it may not recover. Analysts already predict that the social media behemoth will post zero growth in the second quarter, a first for the company. According to Reuters, Mark Zuckerberg himself called the situation "one of the worst downturns in recent history." The rest of the digital ad sector, which includes Google, Twitter, Snap, and others, is also experiencing slowing growth. What makes Meta unique is that she is in the midst of a perfect storm. As a result, not only are more advertisers willing to diversify away from Meta, but they are doing so for the first time. It's a significant shift for a company that has historically been able to count on their dollars, scandal after scandal, as long as their advertisements performed. According to one top executive at a major holding company agency, the economic downturn would affect everyone in the second half, but Meta would lose a share of client spending as well, which he described as "a first."

The major ad forecasters have reduced their overall ad spending forecasts for the year, and other agency executives say Meta, long regarded as a "must-buy," is now at the top of clients' lists of areas to cut. Analysts agree that Meta is settling down after years of explosive growth. Needham analyst Laura Martin downgraded Meta's stock from "hold" to "underperform" on Monday, citing the company's guidance for slower revenue growth and significant investment in its metaverse vision. According to Matthew Bailey, principal analyst at research firm Omdia, the company will grow by 16% in 2022, down from 37% in 2021."We expect Meta's share of global net online advertising revenue to fall for the first time in 2022," Bailey says.

THE JOAN GAMPER TROPHY PITS FC BARCELONA AGAINST PUMAS UNAM.

   The Joan Gamper Trophy, also known as the Joan Gamper Cup, was established in 1966, with the Blaugrana inviting Anderlecht from Belgium, Nantes from France, and Koln from Germany to the inaugural event. It had four participants until 1997 Barcelona and three other invitees and consisted of two semi-final ties, a third-place playoff, and a final. The Blaugrana won their first championship, defeating Cologne 3-1 in the final. Due to an increased fixture list, the Joan Gamper Trophy underwent changes in 1997, abandoning the previous format in favour of a one-off match style. Furthermore, there is no extra time in the competition, with a penalty shoot-out deciding the winner if the game is tied after 90 minutes. This tournament has drawn teams from all over the world, including fellow Spanish powerhouses Atletico Madrid and Valencia, as well as South American behemoths Boca Juniors, River Plate, and Santos. In 2017, Barcelona invited Chapecoense to the 52nd Joan Gamper Trophy...

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT APPLE'S NEW IPHONE 14 AND 14 PRO

iPhone 14 is only a few weeks away, but leaks have already revealed much of what to expect. According to early reports, the new handset will include significant new features, improvements, and the removal of some well-known design elements. The phone, along with a slew of other products, will be released by Apple in September. But here's everything we know about the iPhone 14, including a possible date for the big Apple event. According to numerous reports, Apple has finally removed the notch that is cut out of the top of the display in the new devices. Instead, all of the components that are hidden there, such as the facial recognition sensor and front-facing camera, could be placed in a small cutout at the top of the screen, allowing the display to extend all the way up. That redesign could be limited to Pro models only. Rumours suggest that regular iPhones will have the same notch as the iPhone 13. Otherwise, the design is expected to stay largely the same. There may be some tw...

BRENTFORD FACES MANCHESTER UNITED.

  Manchester United will look to bounce back from their opening-weekend defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion when they face Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday. Last Sunday, the Red Devils were defeated 2-1 at home by the Seagulls, while Brentford came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Leicester City in their season opener. Last weekend, Brentford appeared to be heading for defeat at the King Power Stadium, with Timothy Castagne and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on the scoresheet for Leicester, who led 2-0 in the 46th minute, but Ivan Toney halved the deficit just past the hour before Josh Dasilva equalised late for the Bees. Thomas Frank's team will now play their first home game of the season, while the rest of the month will see them face Fulham, Everton, and Crystal Palace in the Premier League, as well as Colchester United in the EFL Cup. Brentford were active in the summer transfer market, bringing in Keane Lewis-Potter, Aaron Hickey, Mikkel Damsgaard, Thomas Strakosha, ...
