Success of joint ventures like that of Spotify is classic in Facebook’s history due to its success. Spotify added 7 million additional users in the past six months since its launch in the U.S. and now has about 2.5 million paying customers. Facebook has not only managed to support such joint ventures but also been a great hope for other brands that use the social network for their social media marketing and promotion. With this kind of a connection that a brand gets through Facebook, its global audience has increased and thus can now reach out to more people.

This new phase of social media getting businesses to expand further beyond borders is going strong and if such marketing has produced results, then the trend can be here to stay. The conventional media has something to think about when it comes to advertising, because Facebook is giving brands an exclusive chance in this way. Facebook is earning big bucks in return with such marketing and economic transactions taking place through its medium.
