We worked on behalf of Fine Individual Hotels (FIH) to grow a fan base on Facebook by initially running two competitions. Facebook plays an intrinsic part of many businesses online marketing and website promotion tactics. The statistics behind Facebook are staggering – the network had 901 million monthly active users by the end of March 2012; the average user is connected to 80 pages, groups and events; and if it were a country it would be ranked third in the world.
