September 18, 2020: How to build out a campaign plan with Flights
We're still on the topic of Flights this week, and what a rich topic it is. In the video below, Chris demonstrates how you can use Flights to build months worth of campaigns in a single view in just a few minutes. Flights is equally useful for new marketers and veterans alike.
Using our pre-configured campaign plans, called Flight Paths, new (or just busy!) marketers can tap into Feathr's hard-earned expertise and launch a plan that adheres to proven successful best practices for a number of common use cases, with more being created all the time. Or if you desire finer control over your own strategy, you can build your own Flight Path from scratch. Watch the video below to learn how.
Flights is still in beta and is subject to change, but there's nothing stopping you from using it today. Keep an eye out for more updates and information as we move towards a full launch.

September 11, 2020: Strategic planning and repeatable success using Flights
You might have seen a little icon in your Feathr account labeled Flights (beta) for a while now. As our team gets closer to a full launch of this powerful feature, we thought it was time to show you a little more about it.
Flights is a simple new way for you to visualize, create, and execute an entire marketing plan in Feathr. Responding to customer requests, we went back to the drawing board to design a way for you to work not just one campaign at a time, but an entire long-term strategy in a single view. Flights is the result. Using Flights, not only can you plan multiple campaigns at once in stages or legs, but all of your campaigns can now be united under a common conversion goal.
Best of all, if you like the Flight you designed, you can save it as a template to be used again without having to do any redundant work. For a closer look, watch the conversation below with Feathr Implementation Services Director and internal Flights expert, Ariana Aragon.
For more about Flights, take a look at our intro article.
While it is fully operational and available today to all customers, Flights is still a beta feature. That means it is subject to change. Please keep an eye on our Help Desk for a growing collection of documentation and best practices in regards to using Flights.

August 21, 2020: Game-changing custom Lookalike Audiences
One of Feathr's most powerful and mysterious campaigns is the Lookalike campaign. Until now, Lookalike campaigns required you to have an audience segment with 30,000+ reachable people. The tool would then analyze that segment and enable you to advertise to a segment of people with similar characteristics to your own audience.
Powerful? Absolutely. But that much data was frequently out of reach for our customers. This update removes the 30,000 data threshold and grants you immediate access to lookalike segments defined by industry and role. In other words, Feathr just gave you the keys to an enormous set of pre-defined segments, allowing you to pinpoint-target the decision makers in your industry. You're welcome. Watch the video, then learn more with the links below.

July 31, 2020: Launch Facebook Campaigns right in Feathr!
One of our most requested features is now live for all Ads customers. That's right, you can now launch paid Facebook campaigns within Feathr.
There's lots to love about running Facebook campaigns in Feathr. You get to use your own audience data rather than relying on Facebook audiences. That makes your campaigns more targeted to exactly the right people. You can use the Feathr campaign builder you're already familiar with. That means no more clunky Facebook Ads interface to worry about. And you can gather results and reports to add seamlessly to your other campaigns in Feathr, giving you a simple and beautiful layout to examine your marketing success with no effort on your part. Best of all, there is no additional cost to using Facebook campaigns within Feathr.
If you're already using Facebook as a marketing tool, try it out in Feathr. It's easier. And if you're not, now you have the perfect opportunity!
Facebook campaigns in Feathr can be found in the Add Campaign menu within any project. Note: this feature is still in beta and the look and feel of it may be subject to change.

July 24, 2020: Tracked Link Campaigns are Here
Our customers often say, "we love the visibility we have into our Feathr ad campaigns, but we wish we could see all of our marketing stats in one place!" Well, Tracked Link campaigns just brought you one step closer. Using Feathr Tracked Link campaigns, you can generate one link to distribute across all digital channels—display, website, social, email, and more—and monitor the engagement with that link no matter where it's being used.
Share an announcement on social? Now you can view activity on the link you shared right within Feathr. Promoting the same link in a Feathr paid campaign? You'll see those stats too. Tracked Link campaigns allow you to consolidate your efforts, giving you a more comprehensive view into your marketing and saving you time and headache.
For Feathr Ads customers, you can start building tracked links today. Watch the video below for a quick look into how they work, and then read more about launching your own Tracked Link Campaign.

July 17, 2020: Introducing Historical Geofencing
One of your most frequently requested tools is finally here! A brand new campaign type called Historical Geofencing puts some magic at your fingertips. Similar to classic Geofencing, Historical Geofencing enables you to advertise to targeted audiences based on their geographic location. Except instead of targeting future device location, you can now also target past locations.
Didn't get a campaign up in time to capture the attention of attendees at an industry event? Well, it's no longer a missed opportunity with Feathr's Historical Geofencing. Now you can target that audience after the fact.
Want to target multiple past locations with multiple different date ranges? No problem. Historical Geofencing can do it.
Think of it as am ex post facto sponsorship...for much less money, of course.
