Craig Newmark Philanthropies: Pause Take 9

Take9 is a public service campaign, created by Craig Newmark Philanthropies and a coalition of the United States’ top cybersecurity organizations, to raise awareness of cyber threats and provide individuals with the information needed to protect themselves and their communities online.

I helped develop social strategy and launch accounts on IG, FB, and X. I also provided copywriting, creative direction, and complete end-to-end management of all accounts through the initial phases of the Year 1 strategy.

From account launch to the end of Phase 1:

30K followers gained

125K social engagements

14M video views

15% engagement rate on FB (3x higher than industry average)

10% engagement rate on IG (6x higher than industry average)

General Awareness

Concept, creative direction, in-asset and caption copywriting

Hey you! Yes you. Stop scrolling. Close the app. Restart your device. RIGHT NOW.

Restarting your phone can clear malware and fix security issues. It’s recommended that you do it at least once a week. (Come back and follow us once your device is safer.)

Catchy offers. Fake promises. All so they can steal your personal information. It’s called “phishing” (with a “P”).

Don’t get hooked! Learn to recognize the bait, so that you don’t bite.

Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA)! Multi-step #MFA verification is easy and adds extra security: with MFA, you complete multiple steps to log in. More authentications mean more protection. Check? Check! 🔐✔️
