Content strategy
From non-existent strategy to seamless content-based cohesion
Organization: Nebraska Children and Families Foundation
Type: Nonprofit
Year: 2022
Problem: A major nonprofit with many public-private community partners didn’t yet have a cohesive storyline.
Solution: Create a value proposition, social media content calendar, and blog strategy that ties these elements together.
From muddled maze to intentional job search archive…
Organization: San Diego Workforce Partnership
Type: Nonprofit
Year: 2022
Problem: An effective nonprofit had excellent job search materials but difficult navigation.
Solution: Create a streamlined, digital experience, starting with digital outlines and ending in a streamlined, intentional site.
Social media campaigns
An incredible grant was empowering systems-involved young people…but nobody knew about it.
Organization: Nebraska Children and Families Foundation
Type: Nonprofit
Year: 2022
Problem: A major public-private nonprofit partner leveraged a grant to kickstart an internship program for young people who experienced foster care. The program, however, wasn’t yet well-known, and eventually, the grant would run out.
Solution: Interview remarkable young people in the community. Create a riveting series of long, short-form social media posts linking to longer blogs.
Result: The grant was renewed due to the awareness generated through these stories. Young people continue to feel empowered.
