Project Overview and Success

Strategy and content coordination for the OSU Foundation. Partnering with internal teams and student creators, a multi-platform campaign was developed that amplified awareness, drove engagement, and contributed to a record-breaking fundraising day.

The campaign generated over 180,000 views across social platforms, with Instagram posts reaching up to 97% non-followers and LinkedIn driving over 1,500 link clicks. Our collective digital efforts helped inspire 11,030 individual gifts and raise an incredible $3,420,440 in just one day—benefiting more than 100 programs, causes, and student-led initiatives across the university.
