Social Media Presence
UNICEF’S presence on social media is extremely effective. With 6,341,346 followers on their Facebook page, 1.3 million followers on Instagram, and 5.66 million followers on Twitter, they define successful social media presence. They post videos, motivational pictures presenting children around the globe in need of help aside from quotes and stories. Their posts are full of graphics and visuals and are written in the same direct voice that is easy to understand for everyone.
Moreover, Snapchat is a great app that lets UNICEF highlight certain stories and bring reader’s attention to them for short 24 hours.
UNICEF uses YouTube to distribute their latest videos. UNICEF also has a Tumblr account as well as a RSS feed.

Since Facebook also lets a user record live, UNICEF should do live interviews with people that either adopted or helped children in some other way, to attract more people to help or donate money to their cause.
Since live feed is important to successful social media presence, UNICEF should also consider a Periscope account where they can report significant stories life. How remarkable would it be if they can life feed from Syria and show everyone what kind of challenges children and everyone else face every day?
To redirect users to the website, I would include links in every social media post in addition to embedded links in their
