How The "Secret Segments™" Software Works...

Normally Facebook ad research and ad planning process looks like this:

1. Client wants a new Facebook Ads Campaign;
2. Client gives you Ad Creative;
3. You interview client about audience persona (age, gender, location etc);
4. You do additional audience persona research in Ads Manager to determine what is actually targetable with Facebook Ads;
5. You document targetable persona criteria in say, Google Docs;
6. You copy/paste from Google Docs into Ads Manager to filter criteria and estimate budget and reach/website clicks/leads/impressions;
7. You copy final draft targetable persona criteria and estimates from Ads Manager back to Google Docs;
8. You present final draft research with client;
9. Client confirms final draft research (ideally); and
10. You upload Ad Creative, targeting criteria and set budget etc in Ads Manager and start campaign.

With this software, 4-10 above is done-for-you in steps 4-9 below:

1. Client wants a new Facebook Ads Campaign;

How Secret Segments™ Software Could Work For You...


Luke Penman is the Founder of play / pause / play. One of his awareness strategies for the brand was to use Facebook Ads to drive online traffic to his site. Like all good advertisers, he was particular about targeting the right prospects, to be relevant to them and so his ad creative matched the audience as closely as possible. Luke ideally wanted to target Apple Podcasts users because that would be an ideal segment for play / pause / play.

Similar to most advertisers who utilise the Facebook Inc. Ad product, he unsuccessfully used the inbuilt Facebook Ads Manager tool to find any suitable audiences he could target. He started using the Secret Segments software to search for every possible segment that is targetable with Facebook Ads. In doing so, the software confirmed that “Apple Podcasts” was not a targetable audience on any of the suite of Facebook Inc. ad sites. However, using the software he was able to find related, and more importantly, actual targetable segments for play / pause / play such as:

1. Apple Music;
2. ITunes;
3. ITunes Store;
4. And so on…

As well as peripheral audiences, who would also likely listen to Apple Podcasts, such as:

1. Spotify;
2. Pandora Radio;
3. Shazam (service);
4. Stitcher Radio;
5. And so on…

Luke was able to build a niche audience by stacking and layering these targetable segments so his Facebook Ads are targeted, meaning there is less competition from other advertisers, so he can ideally pay less for his ads.
