Blog Posts
Client: Scientists Warning Europe
Problem: This action group required a blog post on the topic "What Will Climate Change Look Like for You?" The goal was to discuss different potential future experiences of climate change in capital cities around, with the idea of stating the very real consequences of various changes in global temperature. It was important to balance the potential devastation with potential solutions.
Solution: I read their action paper and researched relevant content. I then wrote a blog using the parameters provided, emphasizing that this is not a problem happening in some far-off foreign place, but a shared global challenge.
Result: The post was published on their website November 2021, after the group’s attendance at the United Nations COP26 Climate Change Conference.

Social Media and Email Campaign
Client: Friends of Saint-André, Saint André Playground Project
Problem: This non-profit society needed to raise over $300,000 to install a playground for a new school
Solution: I orchestrated a bold campaign to gain a grant via the Aviva Community Fund. This grant involved obtaining public support in the form of daily votes over multiple weeks. I developed multiple posts, emails, flyers and brochures via social media and email to engage support and encourage supporters to vote daily for this initiative.
Result: We were finalists two years in a row, and grand prize winners in 2015. The project was awarded $51,000 in total from this grant.
