The problem

The organisation’s social media presence wasn’t getting traction. Content was focused on membership benefits, what the organisation offered, why people should join. It looked fine, but it wasn’t converting. The content strategy needed changing to match how people actually use social media.

What I changed

I identified that the existing content was speaking to the wrong moment in the user journey. Social audiences want to learn something, be entertained, or feel seen. While the current benefit lead content said what we do, it didn’t build interest.

The strategy shift was simple in principle but required a complete rethink of the content calendar: repurpose the organisation’s existing library of educational articles into platform-native carousel posts, designed to inform first and drive curiosity about the brand second.

I designed every carousel myself in Canva, wrote the copy, and built the reporting framework to track what was working.

What happened

Within the first month:

• Instagram views went from 1,900 to 9,900 — a 427% increase
• Reach jumped from 801 to 6,300 accounts — up 683%
• Profile visits increased by 495%
• New followers grew by 506%
• Organic social traffic to the website increased by 1,313%
• Content page visits on the website were up 316%

The organisation’s own monthly report attributed the website traffic increase directly to the infographic strategy.

Why it worked

The content already existed. The insight was recognising that it was sitting on a website when it could be working on social — and that reformatting it for the right platform and the right mindset would cost very little but compound over time.
