JAYU is a Canadian charity where the arts and human rights intersect. Starting as a human rights film festival to share the stories of North Korean refugees, Jayu quickly expanded to offer various art programs focused on human rights and social justice. Specifically, JAYU’s programs help train and platform equity-deserving youth in the Toronto area.
The Challenge
With a lean team, JAYU had limited resources, experience, and time to manage their social media accounts. It was difficult to sustain ongoing content, format experimentation was limited, and branding was inconsistent. JAYU brought stories to life offline — but needed direction to secure donations and elevate their content and storytelling on social media.
The Solution
Major Tom created a paid and organic social media strategy that laid the foundation for JAYU’s content. We focused on building resonant content pillars, an effective posting cadence, a content strategy, tone of voice, and the brand’s visual direction. The spotlight would be on artists, their work, and its social context as we built an engaged community online.
Regular meetings between JAYU and Major Tom helped us identify opportunities to evolve our strategy and test new approaches. That included experiments that shared JAYU’s mission and its participants’ artwork in new and exciting formats. All to encourage donations and program registrations.
The Results
With a new social media strategy and design system, JAYU Canada’s social media accounts experienced:
10%
GROWTH IN THE SIZE OF THEIR INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY
24000+
ORGANIC IMPRESSIONS ON FACEBOOK OVER 6 MONTHS
25%
