I remember our whole team gearing up for an all nighter to build a canvas ad when our mid-level account guy got a call from the client saying, basically, that they had no idea how canvas was supposed to work and that they were calling the meeting off the next day. It was 8 PM and everyone went home happy.

So, yes, Facebook Canvas is a load of BS, no matter what some coked up strategist says

Mr. Metrics man here. When executed properly (and only one of the three I've supervised has been done properly) people do click into then and legitimately spend meaningful time in them.

90% of the things you get asked to do in digital are bullshit, but used properly and executed properly, Facebook Canvas in not one of them.

^SDS1, What does “used properly” mean? FB gets user data, client gets audience data?

You build a mini-website in Facebook without developers in a fraction of the time a web page would normally take to build. What's not to get here?

Why? You don’t think a blown up banner ad isn’t going to work?

Ha, so have I. And I've made 1... 😀

Somehow, a compelling argument about proper executions isn’t enough to make me believe.

SDS1 You can’t claim victory for 1 and cop out of the other 2 if you ‘supervised’ all three.

SDS1, I hope I never work with you. I bet clients love you, tho.
