The newly revised, expanded, and hot-off-the-press Facebook Marketing Bible – Fall 2009 Agency & Brand Edition is now available!

Since we published the first version of the Facebook Marketing Bible in 2007, thousands of agencies, marketers, social application developers, entrepreneurs, and educators have used it to craft their Facebook marketing strategies and plan their Facebook marketing tactics. Each month since, we have provided marketers with updated versions of the Facebook Marketing Bible containing the latest updates, data, insights, and best practices.

However, it’s become clear that as the spectrum of Facebook marketing opportunities has increased – the July 2009 edition details over 46 specific features and tools, nearly twice as many as the original edition – brands and agencies responsible for deploying large chunks of client dollars need a more strategic overview of Facebook and the Facebook Platform ecosystem as well as deeper independent directional guidance on Facebook and Facebook advertising products.
