Challenges:
With a fairly large number of followers on both Facebook and Instagram, Empowers Africa’s engagement levels were lower and did not accurately reflect the size of their audiences. Bad Rhino wanted to grow their following and engagement to allow for more visibility from potential donors.
Strategy:
Bad Rhino suggested more frequent posting with targeted ads to not only grow their following, but promote content out to the right audience.
- The organic content focused on the following categories:
-
- Charitable Grants
- World Animal Days
- Information on Wildlife
- Engaging Animal Posts
- Conservation Statistics
- Targeted engagement ads on both Facebook and Instagram
- Targeted growth ads on Facebook
- TikTok videos
- Instagram Reels videos
