Google & Meta Advertising
I managed and optimized paid search campaigns on Google and Meta Ads to enhance reach and drive donations. Additionally, I developed and executed a targeted marketing strategy focused on Gen Z and college audiences, including the creation of original advertising content tailored to their preferences.
Landing Page
While conducting research to create a landing page for charity: water, I discovered that a common flaw in donation campaigns is the lack of a compelling narrative that connects small contributions to meaningful change. To address this, I named the campaign The Ripple Effect, emphasizing how even the smallest donation can create a significant impact. This approach integrates perfectly with charity: water, reinforcing the link between their mission and the audience's desire to make a difference.
