Facebook in 2025: Is It Still Relevant for Your Brand Strategy?

I still remember the day I made my first Facebook account. I was 12 and so excited to enter into a poke war with my friends and have a great farm in Farmville. It was considered cool back then. I never could have guessed that it would become my job to run campaigns on the platform where I just wanted to connect with my friends and play games.

“Is Facebook still worth it?” — a question nearly every digital marketer has asked in recent years. And yet, despite the rise of TikTok, Threads, and whatever else the algorithm throws at us next, Facebook remains a key player in 2025.

Not for everyone. But maybe still for you.

Let’s break it down.


The Numbers: Facebook in 2025

  • 2.91 billion monthly active users globally (yes, still)

  • Largest age groups: 25–44

  • 65% of U.S. adults use Facebook regularly

  • Over 70 million businesses actively use Facebook Pages

🔎 While Gen Z may favor TikTok and Instagram, Facebook remains a powerhouse for Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers—and they have purchasing power.


Where Facebook Shines in 2025?

1. Groups = Community Goldmine

  • High organic reach and engagement

  • Niche audiences and tribes thrive here

  • Great for authority-building and peer-to-peer trust

2. Events = Local and Global Engagement

  • Still the go-to platform for RSVPs and event promotion

  • Integrated with Messenger and reminders

3. Meta Ads = Conversion Machine

  • Still one of the most refined ad targeting tools

  • High ROI when matched with warm audiences or retargeting

4. Marketplace = Hidden E-commerce Potential

  • Local buying/selling at scale

  • Brands are integrating directly into Marketplace with catalog ads

5. Facebook Lives + Reels

  • Reels are gaining traction as short-form video spreads across platforms

  • Live is still strong for direct engagement and launches


Use Cases That Work Today

  • Coaching/consulting brands using Facebook Groups as community funnels

  • Event planners and creators promoting in Events + Groups

  • Local businesses gaining visibility via Marketplace and local ads

  • E-commerce brands with retargeting campaigns + product catalog integration


When Facebook Might Not Be Worth It

  • Your entire audience is under 21

  • You rely solely on organic growth without video or Group strategy

  • You’re a high-velocity meme brand better suited for TikTok culture


Optimizing Facebook in 2025

  • Focus on Groups: Build a micro-community and seed daily content

  • Invest in short-form video: Reels + Lives = reach boosters

  • Run conversion-focused ad campaigns: Meta Ads Manager is still unmatched

  • Use Messenger bots: Automate replies, drive leads, boost engagement


Is Facebook Still Relevant?

Yes—if your audience is there, your strategy is smart, and your content is built for conversation.

Facebook isn’t dead—it’s just different.

If you treat it as a passive posting board, you’ll get nothing. If you treat it like a community hub, an ad engine, and a storytelling layer, you’ll unlock serious ROI.

Hooked in a Second: Crafting Content That Stops the Scroll

You spent 2 hours writing your best post yet… And your audience spent 2 seconds skipping it. Relatable? It’s a content creator’s heartbreak anthem. We all say we’re creating “ value.” But half the internet is opening with: “ Here are 5 tips that helped me grow.” Helpful? Maybe. But scroll- stopping? Not quite. Why y our f irst l ine i sn’t j ust a l ine? In today’s feed frenzy, your hook isn’t just the start of your post,  it’s the moment of truth. It decides whether your reader will: 📌 Stop 📌 Scroll 📌 Swipe 📌 Or bounce And when attention is the currency, vague = broke . The r eal p roblem is w riting w ithout i ntent Let me admit something. I’ve written hooks that I thought were clever. But they didn’t land,  not because they weren’t good, but because they weren’t intentional . I didn’t know who I was talking to. I didn’t know what I wanted them to feel, or what action I wanted them to take. That’s the difference between a post that performs and ...

Why I Fired My Own Content (And You Might Need To, Too)?

“Good content isn’t just published. It performs.” A few years ago, I had a wake-up call. I was consulting for a fast-moving founder with a content calendar busier than a Wall Street ticker. We’re talking daily posts, punchy threads, aesthetic templates — the whole package. But… 📉 Zero traction 🧊 Cold audience 🚫 No real positioning or pipeline He wasn’t building an audience. He was broadcasting into the void. Why? Because his content looked good — but it had no function . It wasn’t a system. It wasn’t doing its job. So I fired it. And rebuilt it from scratch. The Real Job of Content: A Layered System of Intent Content isn’t just content. It’s strategy in motion. Every high-performing content ecosystem I’ve ever built boils down to three intentional layers: 1. Awareness Content — The Head-Turner Purpose: Get seen. Get remembered. This is your “Oh hey — I see you” moment. You’re not selling. You’re showing up with a vibe, a voice, and a POV. Use when: You’re s...

Why Copy-Pasting Content Across Platforms Is Killing Your Reach?

We have all been there! A lazy morning, brain not braining. So, just copy paste the the content as it is from one platform to another!!! Call the content police, because your brand just got robbed off precious positioning advantages. If you're copy-pasting your Instagram posts to LinkedIn, you're not repurposing, you're committing content malpractice. The client who thought he’d cracked social media I once worked with a client who was absolutely convinced he’d figured out social media. He’d tell me things like, “The moment I hit ‘publish,’ my content pops off.” Naturally, we started with a content audit. Instagram? Crushing it. Engagement? Off the charts. Growth? Solid. But LinkedIn? Dead. Like a graveyard at 2 a.m. And the reason? He was taking the exact same Canva carousels, pastel quotes, and bite-sized captions — and dropping them into LinkedIn like they’d magically work there too. They didn’t. LinkedIn didn’t care about “aesthetic.” It wanted substanc...
