project overview

NCIA Community Services is a nonprofit that empowers people facing significant challenges—including those with disabilities, formerly incarcerated individuals, at-risk youth, and adults with complex needs—through comprehensive support services. My role in this project was to create social media posts, while ensuring the scalability, quality, and brand consistency of other already created assets.

Highlighting impact

One of the most common problems with social media posts from organizations is a lack of intentionality. It's common for groups to post with no specific strategy in mind. This serves to dilute the overall impact of their social media presence and makes it harder to drive long-term engagement. 

The Strategy

The strategy behind the social media posts for this project was to put a spotlight on the many amazing stories of success within the organization. This allows for an emotional connection to be built with not only potential donors, but also with people going through the exact situation that the organization seeks to help with.

A Memorable presence

This social media strategy focused around creating impactful visibility for NCIA as an organization. Posts like this set the tone for the type of positive presence an organization wants to have within a given community. Ensuring brand consistency, accessibility, and scalability were integral for making this possible.
