Inclusion in the PMD, and the right to display the PMD Badge, is awarded to developers who have demonstrated value-added abilities in one of four areas: Pages, Ads, Apps, and Insights; and continue to demonstrate a high standard of excellence.
AdParlor entered the highly selective program with qualifications in two of the four areas:
- Ads: For the creation, management and reporting of Facebook Ads using proprietary third party tools with boosted functionality that includes advanced ad creation, facilitating campaign management and advanced reporting, as well as other enhancements.
- Insights: For the development of advanced analysis, benchmarking, KPI tracking and other performance measurement tools, which help companies effectively measure activity and conversation around their brand, reach out to their target audiences, utilize conversion tracking, and much more.
"Brands must study the impact their ad campaigns are having on their fan page," said Ali Merali, VP of business development at AdParlor. "We have built a deep integration between the Insights API and the Ads API to correlate these data sets and help our clients make smarter ad buys."
