Creating best practice and platform specific content to further our organic channels, continuing to drive above-sector strong engagement and growth.
Delivering compelling content to media outlets, under time-pressure, to position Street Child as a key player in the creation and distribution of content from conflict zones and humanitarian crises where journalists often can’t access.
Paid media content creation;

Developing engaging and effective paid media assets, spanning all media channels including social and OOH- always following best practice.
Reflecting on learnings and insights from previous content and reflecting these in new assets.
Programmatic team training and support;

Street Child began working in Sierra Leone in 2008 with one project for 100 children. In just 15 years we have reached over 900,000 children across more than 23 countries.
