🐶 Trending on Facebook


💡 Summary:


Some folks saw Facebook as boring, yet Facebook groups are anything but. We developed the “Trending on Facebook” program to showcase amazing groups & make it clear that Facebook groups are THE place for entertainment, cultural relevance, & fun.



🗓️ When:    😍 For:
2021-23      Meta (in house)







We made a ‘Hero film’ for each group featured, striving to make these films as stupid-simple as possible, boiling down the group to a singular emotion or idea. Our goal was to represent the feeling of what it’s like to be in the groups.

No: narratives, exposition, story structure, supers, or plot. 

Yes: ingredients collected from the group, montage edit structure, internety production, a group name graphic up the whole time, & strong use of music & audio.







Sometimes we’ do “takeovers” that extended the group campaign across all our channels. These could take any forms — static posts, interactive stories, cover photos, gifs, prewritten responses for community moderation, etc.




They pretty much always get weird. Chat, I truly can’t believe what we got approved, like this masterpiece...







Unfortunately, Irish superstar Enya passed on letting us use “Only Time” but she did watch a version of the bathrooms hero film with it in there, so I count that as a win. 

Some other favs (out of nearly 100 we made)...








Finally, the group that started it...









👋 My role:

Creative director—defining concepts, overseeing production & post, setting visual approach, collaborating with directors, edit houses, & cross functional partners in product, comms, legal, biz affairs, etc. Continued scaling & refinement over time.

📈 Result:
Some of the highest performing posts on Facebook’s social, & the groups we feature often saw spikes in group joins. This format / approach proved so succesful it scaled to multiple new dedicated workstreams, it provoked a reset of the Facebook brand design system, & the films were translated into a toolkit for the Facebook growth team.

Jesse Coulter, Andrea Mileskiewicz, Chanler Bledsoe, David Adams, Victoria Deldin, Melanie Matlock, Diana Fujii, Molly Fleet, Scott Pierce, Rachel Greenlee, Kim Withee, Haley Mazza
