“Learn from top Facebook marketers, then become one.” That’s the pitch Facebook is throwing your way today, via its new stand alone site, Facebook Studio.

“We need to do a better job of engaging with agencies,” said Blake Chandlee, head of Facebook’s newly formed agency relations team, adding that the site will focus on best practices and highlight quality campaigns uploaded by the creators of the content.
