Simon’s Last Shot | Social Media Campaign

Simon, a 5-year-old boy, and his mother, Alina Gorniak, visited theCHIVE HQ to raise awareness about Sanfilippo Syndrome, a degenerative disorder caused by a missing enzyme, leading to toxic material buildup in the brain. Simon’s condition causes memory loss and will eventually result in the loss of motor skills, seizures, dementia, and death. Alina shared how Simon’s development has plateaued, but he works hard to maintain his skills, using focus and basketball to exercise his brain.

TheCHIVE and Chive Charities decided to help Simon’s family by raising funds for his immediate health needs, including an Augmentative Communication Device, an adaptive stroller, rock climbing for flexibility and endurance, and yoga classes. They also provided $10,000 for equine therapy, swim lessons, and yoga therapy. The community rallied together and achieved the $15,000 goal, offering Simon more precious time with his family.

The campaign became one of the most important efforts by theCHIVE and Chive Charities, with Simon’s life hanging in the balance. The community’s support and donations were greatly appreciated, and the family expressed gratitude for the love and care shown.

As the Social Media Coordinator for Chive Charities, My Responsibilities for This Campaign Included:

Develop Graphic Design Assets for a Campaign

For Simon’s campaign, I was responsible for conceptualizing and producing high-quality graphic design elements tailored to the campaign’s objectives.

Utilizing my creative expertise and design tools, I crafted visually engaging assets that effectively conveyed the campaign’s message and resonated with the target audience. The visual elements effectively conveyed Simon’s story, connecting people on an emotional level and motivating them to come together to make a difference in his life.

Curate Social Media Content Throughout the Campaign’s Lifecycle

Throughout the entire campaign, encompassing its pre-event, live event, and post-event phases, I took charge of crafting captivating social media posts.

My approach involved leveraging strategic planning and content management to ensure consistent engagement with the audience across various platforms. These efforts significantly contributed to amplifying the campaign’s reach and generating meaningful interactions.

Execute Real-time Content Capture on the Campaign’s Launch Day

On the day of the campaign’s launch, I executed real-time content capture to seize dynamic and compelling moments.

With a keen eye for detail and quick adaptability, I efficiently documented the campaign’s progress, interactions, and highlights. This resulted in a diverse array of multimedia content that was subsequently leveraged to reinforce the campaign’s impact and showcase its success.
