• Despite Facebook reducing organic reach, maintained very strong growth
• We create, as well as source and optimize, most engaging content possible on
UNICEF’s key priorities and relevant topics
• Emotive, first person, child focused, empowering, image led

Twitter content
• In 2015, series of #youthtakeover(s): handing over our account to young African female advocates, Syrian refugees and climate change campaigners.
• Boosted reach and engagement, demonstrated transparency and genuine youth engagement and led to positive press coverage.
• Recognized (by the 2015 Twiplomacy study) as the “by far the most engaging” international organization on Twitter

2.1
The power
of storytelling
11
• Everyone is a storyteller
• We’re programmed as
humans to follow and
understand a message if
it’s told as a compelling
narrative
• Taking a storytelling
approach has helped us
dramatically increase our
reach and engagement
![Page 12: What are the principles of effective strategies (incl ... presentation...19 May 2016, OECD Gerrit Beger, Senior Advisor, Social Engagement, gbeger@unicef.org; @begerrit What are the](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9d8773123d15ca2181aab/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Everyday Voices
The power of storytelling
• First person, telling their story
• Rather than trying to shoehorn
issues or show what UNICEF
is doing, allow those affected
to simply tell their stories
• Not only much more engaging,
but issues still tackled
• Over 400% growth on
Instagram in 2015
• Big increase in views per video
- and pickup by media outlets

2.2
Joining the
conversation
rather than
always trying to
start your own
17
• As the UN, we’re always going to
have very good reasons to start our own conversations
• But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t look out for meaningful and relevant moments to join in and add value
![Page 18: What are the principles of effective strategies (incl ... presentation...19 May 2016, OECD Gerrit Beger, Senior Advisor, Social Engagement, gbeger@unicef.org; @begerrit What are the](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9d8773123d15ca2181aab/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Joining the conversation
• Huge campaign, started organically in April 2014
• No brainer to join, chimed with many of our issues
• More importantly, could add value to conversation

2.3
Multi-platform
approach 24
![Page 25: What are the principles of effective strategies (incl ... presentation...19 May 2016, OECD Gerrit Beger, Senior Advisor, Social Engagement, gbeger@unicef.org; @begerrit What are the](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9d8773123d15ca2181aab/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Multi-platform approach
• Over 1 million followers, most rapidly growing
platform - 400% growth in 2015
• Curate most visually striking UNICEF photos -
prioritizing emergencies and personal stories
• First person content, ‘Everyday Voices’ style portraits
![Page 26: What are the principles of effective strategies (incl ... presentation...19 May 2016, OECD Gerrit Beger, Senior Advisor, Social Engagement, gbeger@unicef.org; @begerrit What are the](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042223/5ec9d8773123d15ca2181aab/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Multi-platform approach
Snapchat
• Snapchat content is temporary, and disappears within 24 hours. UNICEF's content fits within this style by creating multiple images/videos (aka ‘Snaps’) that are threaded back-to-back to form a short narrative around specific topics (aka ‘Snap Story’).
• Snapchat content is like no other platform in its whimsical and fleeting nature, and allows us to cover topics and events we might otherwise not
• We receive around 2.5k views per story on Snapchat • We started our account in April 2014 with the launch of the
#BringBackOurChildhood campaign - Support from influential Snapchat users helped UNICEF launch with a strong following, and has fueled growth with each new campaign
• Successful Snap Stories focused on content created by refugee children (#BringBackOurChildhood), events (#UNGA #ClimateChain), and timely newsworthy content such as children on the move from Syria through Europe.
