For my friends in the US, I trust you had a wonderful 4th of July celebration. I enjoyed a fun party on the 3rd and streamed the fabulous firework display on Facebook Live – it was actually to celebrate Oceanside, California’s 129th anniversary and we had a bird’s eye view. Hehee!
Last Friday, I gave a talk on The Future of Facebook: What Marketers Need To Know at the annual Social Media Day San Diego for the 6th year in a row. I plan to lead the same talk as a Facebook Live in the coming weeks – stay tuned! 🙂
After traveling and speaking extensively all year so far, I’m delighted to be home all summer now. I will take a couple of mini breaks. But, mostly I have an epic number of exciting projects to catch up on and can hardly wait to share more with you!!
One such project definitely involves my Facebook Live show! On that note, the top ten most watched video publishers on Facebook racked up 16.3 Billion total video views in May 2017, according to TubularInsights. Take a look at the top ten Pages — what’s fascinating is that they are all media companies. Hm! ‘FB TV Network!’

Gotta love that!
