/Challenge/

/Challenge/

/What we did/

/What we did/

We set the strategy, produced the content in-house and bought the media for each campaign.

  • Set the digital strategy for each initiative and its audience

  • Produced videos in-house, from scholarship stories to Women in Governance

  • Planned and bought media for large awareness campaigns

  • Covered scholarships, the environment, and small-business recovery after the Beirut port blast

  • Delivered poster series and end-of-campaign reports
