Facebook performance: Beverages generate most buzz, TV networks join race

Share

TV is the most followed category on Facebook, but engagement with fan pages is highest among the FMCG beverages category, according to the latest ‘Facebook Performance Report’.

Compiled by digital agency Online Circle Digital, the report shows TV programs had accumulated around 9.4 million fans by 13 February 2013. However, engagement with pages in this category was lower, on 6.9%, with the study period coming during TV’s traditionally quieter, non-rating summer months.

Engagement with FMCG beverages, which included category fan numbers leader Coca-Cola, was markedly higher on 36.0%. Radio was the only other category to register double-digit engagement rates, while most hover between 2% and 7%.

Children’s TV program Bananas In Pyjamas retained the top spot with the most Facebook fans (2.0 million) of any category. Home and Away came in second place and remained the most talked about fan page on Facebook.

“TV and social media are no longer disparate entities,” lead strategist at Online Circle Digital Lucio Ribeiro comments. “In fact, TV viewing has become social currency. Networks, TV programs and radio are the new social media players alongside brands.”

Retail fashion jumped to second position in terms of fan count over the current period with 5.5 million fans overall. Engagement with the category, which is calculated by dividing the number talking about the page by the number of fans, was 5.0%.

The report analysed 1248 brands across 20 categories in Australia, with new categories airlines, health & beauty, news & magazines, radio, sporting clubs, tv channels and networks and universities added.
