| − | ::To help us have an overview of the data throughout the year, we consolidated the various tabs, whilst concatenating the various periods of data for the same columns, into one combined file. This was carried out using the software, IBM JMP Pro, in the following steps:
| |
| − | ::* With Post ID, Permalink (permanent link of the campaign content), Post Message, Type, Countries and Posted columns as key identifiers among the different tabs for the excel files, we appended desired columns from the other tabs to the end of the Key Metrics. They included the Share, Like, Comment columns from Tab 2; Other Clicks, Link Clicks, Photo View, Video Play columns from Tab 3; Hide_Clicks , Hide_all_clicks, Unlike_page_clicks, report_spam_clicks columns from Tab 4. <br>This was conducted using the <i>Tables > Join </i>function, with “Matching Specification” as the key identifiers and “Output Columns” of the appended desired columns.
| |
| − | ::* Next, for each period of data files (appended with new columns) from multiple tabs, we concatenate the data across different time periods to have a full year collection of data.<br>This was conducted using the <i>Tables > Concatenate </i> function, while adding multiple data tables into “Data Tables to be Concatenated”.
| |
| − | ::* Finally, we check for <b>missing data</b> in the different columns. For example, under the column Type, we have five different types, namely: Link, Photo, Shared Video, Status and Video. However, in the instances of missing data, we will cross check with the permalink of the campaign post, and check the Type of medium was posted and fill it in accordingly.
| |
| − | ::*Using JMP Pro, we can see that there is a particular post that has garnered higher than usual number of shares versus the lifetime post total reach. We will classify it as an outlier in our analysis. The outlier has higher than normal values with 400,000 total reach.

| − | ::Secondly, to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook post, we use <b>three key metrics</b> as evaluation. They are: <i>likes, comments and shares</i>. Across time (in weeks), video’s likes, comments and shares have sharp peaks in October, whereas link type performed well in the month of March with highest number of likes and shares. On the other hand, photos performed well in the months of May to August compared to the rest, with an average 2.5K likes, comments and shares, while links and photos remained relatively constant. The outlier mentioned earlier is excluded - to prevent skewness of data.

We can see that Thursday’s post generally generates the most number of likes, especially for video type.<b>Video type contributes to the highest number of likes</b> (green shaded area), followed by photo type. <br/><br/>
