How to turn a TVC into a Facebook ad, the PockeTVC way

In a world where 47% of a video’s value needs to be delivered in the first three seconds, simply shoving your TV ad up on Facebook and hoping for the best isn’t good enough anymore – something Facebook’s new PockeTVC program aims to set right. Mumbrella’s Josie Tutty sat down with Facebook’s May Seow and Naomi Shepherd to unpick the mechanics behind the tech giant’s new program.

If your ad doesn’t get to the point in the first three seconds, your potential customers are going to simply scroll right on past
