How do you show strategic ownership when the big campaign idea wasn’t yours but everything that made it work on social was?
At charity: water, the Creative Director established the overarching campaign direction. As Social Media Manager, I translated that direction into the organic social strategy for two End-of-Year Giving campaigns including: the content narratives, channel roles, editorial calendars, production briefs, and cross-functional execution plans.
My first case-study draft included everything. It was thorough but it also felt like homework that would overwhelm or bore a stranger.
So I rebuilt it around what someone actually needs to understand:
→ The problem I was responsible for solving
→ What I owned versus what I collaborated on
→ How the strategy evolved from 2023 to 2024
→ The execution and results that support the story
Together, the integrated campaigns raised $7.4M. The fully reported 2023 organic campaign generated 8.17M+ impressions and 172K+ engagements.

This is a strong reframing—separating the problem you owned from the collaboration makes the social strategy feel both accountable and legible. Pairing the execution with the results gives the case study real weight.
