Facebook has just launched its exclusive version for businesses. Workplace, is a new version of the old Facebook at Work, which has been in testing for about a year and has already attracted more than a thousand corporate clients, including companies like Danone and Starbucks and non-profit organizations.
While similar in many ways, the service is completely independent of Facebook and has some significant differences, such as the fact that it's free only for NGOs and educational institutions. For other companies, Workplace offers a three-month free trial, after which it charges a fee determined by the number of active employees on the network:
Up to a thousand collaborators: US$ 3 (R$ 9,62 at the current exchange rate)
Up to 10 employees: US$ 2 (R$ 6,42)
More than 10 employees: US$ 1 (R$ 3,21)
The proposal is to bring the same Facebook integration to the workplace, creating a more interactive alternative to email, which facilitates internal communication and increases productivity.
According to the project director, Julien Codorniou, the platform “aims to change the way companies work, to give everyone a voice, to offer employees, including those who previously did not have a corporate email, the same communication tools they use in their private lives” and “to connect all of a company's employees via cell phones”, as it can be used on iOS, Android or through a browser.
Resources
Workplace offers features like dashboards and metrics for internal analysis, can be integrated with companies' IT systems, and profiles on the network have no connection to employees' personal Facebook profiles. Instead of the traditional blue, the new platform is gray-based, displays no advertising, offers no entertainment features like games, and guarantees not to collect user data.
Some Facebook features are also maintained, such as news feed, groups, chat, wall, Live, translation, and the famous reactions and likes.
In the coming weeks, Workplace also promises to incorporate a new feature called Multi-Company Group, which will allow the creation of groups to be shared by more than one company. This will facilitate communication between partner companies developing joint projects.
To boost implementation among its clients, the social network has indicated the implementation of a collaborative program with partners such as Deloitte Digital, Edelman, Weber Shandwick and Ketchum.
Mark Zuckerberg's new platform will compete with Microsoft programs like Slack and Yammer.
Social Media Management that Builds Brands and Generates Business
Social media is now the main channel of influence in the Brazilian consumer's decision-making journey. A consistent digital presence, with relevant content and a clear strategy, transforms followers into customers and customers into brand advocates. But this only happens with planning, creativity, and professional execution.
What does professional social media management include?
- Monthly editorial planning aligned with business objectives.
- Creation of custom video artwork, captions, and scripts.
- Managing comments and direct messages
- Paid ads (Meta Ads) integrated into the organic strategy
- Monthly performance analysis with metrics on reach, engagement, and conversion.
- Hashtag strategy, best posting times, and formats by platform.
The most common mistake companies make on social media is posting out of obligation, without a strategy. Content disconnected from business objectives generates likes, but not sales. Kaizen Agency develops a unique content identity for each client, with messages that educate, engage, and convert. We work with Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and YouTube, always focusing on metrics that matter: leads generated, cost per lead, and return on investment.
FAQ
How often should I post on social media?
Consistency matters more than frequency. For Instagram and Facebook, 3-5 posts per week are sufficient with good quality content. LinkedIn works well with 2-3 posts per week. The secret is to maintain a cadence that is sustainable and provides content of real value to the audience.
Is it worth investing in social media ads even if you have few followers?
Yes. Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram) allows you to target extremely specific audiences regardless of the number of followers. With R$500 to R$1.000/month, it's possible to reach tens of thousands of highly qualified potential customers.
Which social media platform is most important for my business?
It depends on your audience and product. Instagram is ideal for visual products and B2C. LinkedIn is best for B2B and corporate services. TikTok is growing rapidly for organic reach. The most effective strategy starts by dominating one network before expanding to others.
Do Reels and short videos really generate more reach?
Yes, significantly. Instagram's algorithm prioritizes Reels up to 3x more than static posts. Videos of 15 to 60 seconds with a strong hook in the first 3 seconds perform best. For local businesses, a well-made Reel can generate hundreds of new local followers.
How can I measure if my social media management is yielding results?
The main metrics are: reach (how many people saw it), engagement (likes, comments, shares), traffic generated to the website, leads originating from social media, and conversions (sales, appointments, contacts). Avoid focusing solely on likes—they don't pay the bills.
