The video was a fake news report of \u2018walker\u2019 sightings in Newcastle. The creative video was a nice touch, but their success mainly came from posting about a topic that their audience was interested in (The Walking Dead, in this case). <strong>Identify your Facebook fans other interests<\/strong> by using an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/2016\/10\/facebook-fan-interests\/\">Interest Analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsky%2Fvideos%2F1323082431044508%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Adele took second place in the ranking, once again having one of the top posts of the month.

Use your <strong>fan\u2019s interests, flashy photos, or some humor<\/strong> and find success. As long as the content behind them is great.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The biggest and most engaging brands<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ranking is a bit different than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/2016\/10\/fanpage-trends-uk-september-2016\/\">last month<\/a> not due to anyone\u2019s increased or decreased performance, but because of some brand\u2019s deleted their accounts and opened new ones. Unfortunate, but they\u2019ll all be back for next month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With that in mind, the biggest brand fanpages this October are Adele (65 million fans), Coldplay (35 million), and Liverpool FC (24 million). \u00a0The most engaging pages were Adele (1.5 million users engaged), Shell (900 thousand), and boohoo.com (744 thousand).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/OCT-2016-Infographic-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-23709 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/OCT-2016-Infographic-1-950x1344.png\" alt=\"oct-2016-infographic-1\" width=\"950\" height=\"1344\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/OCT-2016-Infographic-1-950x1344.png 950w, https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/OCT-2016-Infographic-1-475x672.png 475w, https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/OCT-2016-Infographic-1-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/OCT-2016-Infographic-1-600x849.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"shortcode trial\"><h4><span>Start your free trial and analyze your Facebook profile!<\/span><a title=\"Learn more\" class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/app.sotrender.com\/auth\/signup\/trial\/en?utm_source=blog-cta-legacy\">Learn more<\/a><\/h4><\/div><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Music and sports are always incredibly popular<\/strong> and out-performing them is nigh-impossible. But paying attention to their posting habits can offer some <strong>great insights<\/strong> into how you might improve your performance. For example, Adele knows how to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/2016\/09\/fanpage-trends-uk-august-2016-success-found-gravy-sick\/\">get real with her fans<\/a>, and sports clubs know what\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/2015\/10\/fanpage-trends-uk-september-2015-england-loves-rugby\/\">gets their fans riled up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Shell and boohoo.com did things a bit differently. Firstly, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Shell\/\">Shell<\/a> uploaded an environmentally conscious music video last month that\u2019s still getting them tons of engagement. On top of that, their other activities are also performing very well. On the other hand, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/boohoo.com\/\">Boohoo.com<\/a>\u00a0is constantly engaging their users with either relevant posts about fashion or semi-relevant memes. It doesn\u2019t work for everyone, but once they\u2019ve <strong>identified their audience and their interests, it\u2019s easy to rack up that engagement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Want more Fanpage Trends UK?<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sotrender.com\/trends\/facebook\/reports\/206110_uk\/categories\"><strong>Download the full report!<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sotrender is happy to present the 15th edition of Fanpage Trends UK \u2013 the first report analyzing brand communication on Facebook in the UK.
