I was approached by the social media team at Salesforce.org to create something engaging and data driven for social media. Our team came up with Cause of the Month, which first started as a GIF series and evolved into a short one minute animation featuring the mission and accomplishments of trailblazers in the social good sector. 

Cause of the Month is at its core a data visualization experience. The mixed media snackable short content is designed to be entertaining and thought-provoking, speaking beyond Saleforce.org’s current customer base to a wider audience.

Each segment amplifies the mission and accomplishments of a Salesforce.org customer. We’ve collaborated with The Jane Goodall Institute, The Nature Conservancy, Gavi (The Vaccine Alliance), Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, University of Kentucky and Hayward Unified School District.

Visually, the style of the series is a mix between collage and illustration. The data is presented in a visually striking and approachable way. The text is treated with light kinetic typography. The compositions are thoughtful and the transitions smooth. The experience of the piece as a whole is short and sweet — tailored to social media.
