Tapping Real-Time Data

The standard advertising model is that you release a campaign, then measure the results at some point to determine whether the ads are working.

For instance, on April 17 — Tax Day — TurboTax saw certain posts that answered common questions about filing doing well on Facebook’s “People Talking About This” (PTAT) metric. In response, the brand bought advertising via Facebook that amplified the reach of those posts.
