General Motors Manager of Cross Brand Communications and Media Relations Tom Henderson, confirmed in a phone interview with VMR Communications earlier today that by mid-year GM and all brands including Chevy, Cadillac and others will cease advertising on Facebook. Mr Henderson hastened to add that GM and the brands are as committed as ever to their organic outreach on Facebook.
“This does not mean we are abandoning our fans. We are very committed to continuing to engage our community on Facebook.”
When asked if Facebook’s IPO had anything to do with the timing of the ad pull-back announcement, Henderson replied, “Absolutely not. We are constantly evaluating and our marketing mix.”
Henderson explained that recent marketing mix evaluations have resulted in GM’s plans to discontinue advertising on Facebook as of mid-2012. He noted that GM’s ad spend on digital platforms has increased steadily in recent years, now accounting for 25 to 30 percent of the company’s total ad budget.
