VOASW Case Study: 310% Follower Growth in 4 Years

Client Details

Name: Volunteers of America Southwest (VOASW)

Services: Veteran services, behavioral health treatment, affordable housing, and early childhood education.

Objective

To transform VOASW’s digital presence from a standard non-profit page into a high-engagement community hub that drives awareness, recruits volunteers, and establishes thought leadership in the behavioral health and housing sectors.

Challenges

Service Diversity: Bridging the gap between vastly different programs from veteran recovery to preschool education under a single, cohesive brand voice.
Engagement Stagnation: Initial social media presence lacked the visual “stopping power” needed to compete in a crowded philanthropic landscape.
Content Depth: Educational topics like Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) required long-form content that was easy for the general public to understand.
Retention: Maintaining donor interest over a 4+ year period required a constant stream of fresh, high-quality video and blog content.

High-Impact Video Production: Produced a series of program highlights and “Stories of Hope” that transformed complex service data into emotionally resonant video narratives.
Authority-Driven Blog Strategy: Developed an in-depth blog repository focusing on mental health advocacy and housing policy, positioning VOASW as a regional subject matter expert.
