Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Flipboard 0 TikTok is the hottest social media platform of the moment, while Instagram is the most engaging one. But what about Facebook – still the largest social network in 2021? Truth be told, despite TikTok’s shining aura and Instagram’s many popular features, like Stories or Reels, Facebook is still a powerful platform for marketing endeavors. After all, it is the social network towards which most of the paid advertising budget goes to.

Therefore, it is in any brand’s interest to make wise use of Facebook’s potential for marketing and have a well-thought activity on the platform and actions based on a strategy. But how can brands that are at the beginning of their social media journey create a solid Facebook marketing strategy for their businesses? Let’s quickly go over the 4 most important tactics for creating a solid Facebook strategy, shall we?
