Social Advertising Solution Alphaboost Partners with Brazil’s Largest Social Media-Focused Agency, RIOT, Empowering In-House Facebook Advertising Capabilities.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AlphaBoost, a startup that builds Facebook Advertising reporting software, is a driving force behind leading agencies’ moves towards in-house Facebook Ad buying, most notably within the burgeoning Brazilian market, recently named the Social Media Capital of the Universe by the Wall Street Journal.
When a Facebook advertising campaign is run by RIOT, its account managers and clients use AlphaBoost’s software to analyze results and inform future strategies. “The software is beautiful, valuable, and intuitive”, says RIOT’s Head of Innovation & Strategic Business Development, Walter Motta Junior. “It helps us create beautiful, easy-to-understand Facebook ad reports. As a Facebook Preferred Marketing Developer with a specialized media team working in-house, we have always done things by ourselves, including ad buying. Now, AlphaBoost’s product gives us a competitive advantage and helps us communicate our results more concisely”.
Alphaboost CEO Matt Monahan observes, “Interactive agencies like RIOT are starting to bring Facebook Ad buying services in-house, using Facebook’s Power Editor, rather than outsourcing work to 3rd parties. In this paradigm, agencies still need a product that effectively communicates goals, results, and opportunities. AlphaBoost’s AdVerify is that product; providing advanced optics into the performance of Facebook campaigns.”
Latin Americans spend 56% more time on Social Media than the worldwide average according to a recent report by TheNextWeb. And as Facebook use grows in Brazil, so do the advertising dollars. “We have seen our clients spend upwards of $1,000,000 a month on Facebook ads, and their commitments are growing”, declares RIOT’s CEO, Pedro Ivo Resende. “As client confidence grows, so do dollars spent on Facebook. It is our job to make sure clients have all of the information they need to make smarter decisions about where, when, and how to spend their advertising dollars on Facebook, in the most transparent way. We are all in this together”.
While AlphaBoost powers agencies’ buying capabilities and eliminates the need for media buying technology and services like Spruce, Adaptly and Unified, it will be interesting to see who ends up controlling client ads spend. Will it be 3rd party vendors or the clients’ agencies?
AlphaBoost and RIOT hope it is the latter.

MattyMedia // How NatGeo can Maximize its Facebook Timeline with this Campaign Idea
On the heels of our recent post, we wanted to share some of our thinking on how to leverage the Facebook Timeline format to build a rich, branded experience that generates a return on attention from an owned audience.
Our social media advisory group, MattyMedia, recently came up with this campaign idea for NatGeo, which utilizes the timeline format to build out distribution and push past magazine issues off the shelves during the birthday month of existing Facebook fans.
In an effort to capitalize on NatGeo’s timeless brand essence, we were inspired to create an experience that highlights the brand’s rich history and the magazine’s collectable nature. Our idea was simple: create an integrated content management and advertising strategy to drive magazine sales from NatGeo’s Facebook page.
