strong digital foundation, including a professional, web-compliant website, a clear digital strategy, tailored content, imagery, and collateral that reflected both its kaupapa and its community-facing vision. We led this process end-to-end, designing and developing DNA\u2019s online presence, setting up and managing its social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram), and creating a consistent communications framework. By project-leading the development of all content, imagery, book development and marketing collateral, we ensured DNA could connect authentically with wh\u0101nau, funders, and stakeholders.
