Watersheds and our Water Supply
In 2023, the Sunshine Coast Conservation Association launched the "Watersheds and Our Water Supply" educational program. This initiative aims to raise public awareness about the importance of watersheds, encourage water conservation, and engage households in tracking their water usage through the Sunshine Coast Regional District. This is an educational campaign that lives on their website year-round with targeted marketing posted on socials every Summer to bring more traffic to the site. This campaign was a collaborative effort between myself and other members of the SCCA and included the following communication pieces:
6 blog posts for the Website
Instagram Posts, Reels, and Stories
Facebook Posts and Stories
Mailchimp eBlasts to our members
YouTube videos
