About the Client:
COCCI is a dedicated nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) affected by Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Digestive Disorders, and associated Chronic Illnesses. With a mission centered around Community, Research, Education, and Advocacy, COCCI empowers individuals impacted by these health conditions, fostering support and collaboration within the community.
The Challenge:
COCCI organized their significant annual event, “Equity In GI,” in Altanta, GA, bringing together GI and health equity organizations from around the world. They sought comprehensive social media coverage to promote the event and engage attendees in real-time.
The Approach:
At BrandIt Strategies, we devised a creative and fun approach to address COCCI’s specific challenge of social media coverage for the “Equity In GI” event.
- Pre-Event Promotion: To generate excitement and maximize attendance, we launched a targeted social media promotion for the event. Utilizing engaging video content and running strategic ads, we increased the event’s visibility and attracted attendees from diverse backgrounds.
- Collaborative Planning: Before the event, we collaborated closely with COCCI, outlining a detailed plan for the event’s social media coverage. By obtaining the client’s buy-in and aligning with the event’s agenda, we ensured that every important aspect was effectively covered.
- Real-Time Onsite Coverage: Our dedicated social media team was present at the event, capturing and posting video and photo content in real-time. This allowed us to showcase the event’s energy, insights, and impact as it unfolded, creating an immersive experience for the virtual audience.
- Engaging Video Concepts: To further engage attendees and foster a sense of community, we implemented engaging video concepts. We interacted with attendees during the event, capturing their real-time reactions and input, and shared these interactions on social media platforms. This approach encouraged active participation and amplified the event’s reach.
- Prioritizing Ambassadors: We gave priority to patient ambassadors and GI doctors to share their experiences during the event. By spotlighting their perspectives, we humanized the event and provided valuable insights into the importance of health equity in GI.
- Real-Time Information Hub: We transformed COCCI’s social media channels into a hub for real-time information, providing updates, highlights, and key takeaways as they happened. This approach turned the social media platforms into a go-to source for those unable to attend in person.
