CLIENT WORK - CELEBRATE LIFE FOUNDATION
DIGITAL MARKETING
Celebrate Life Foundation is an NPO raising cancer awareness through community outreach initiatives, fundraising events, and by linking cancer fighters to care resources.
Social media activity includes content creation, on-site content creation, campaign management, community management and paid ads. Paid ads campaigns included Meta traffic ads to the ticketing system, and boosted content for engagement.
Channels:
Mailchimp
Facebook Instagram
CAMPAIGN STRATEGY
To increase online engagement and event attendance, I conceptualised and implemented a strategy where we partnered with small brands to run a giveaway. For the giveaway, people had to watch a video about a specific cancer, then name one fact they learned in the video under the post, then like/follow the page. For another giveaway, audiences had to nominate a survivor and tell their story. This increases the opportunity for the Celebrate Life Foundation to increase their survivorship network for volunteer opportunities.
