A community without a home.
When Decoding Darier's began their mission, they faced a significant digital hurdle: zero established social media presence. For a global rare disease community, this lack of infrastructure meant that patients and families were isolated, with no central hub to share lived experiences or access reliable medical information.
The goal wasn't just to "post on Instagram"—it was to build a digital community from the ground up that could bridge the gap between patients, advocates, and medical professionals.
THE STRATEGY
From silence to a vibrant support network. We implemented a multi-channel strategy focused on three pillars:
Community
First
Established active presences on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. We specifically leveraged Instagram community groups to create a "safe space" for real-time peer support.
Expert
Credibility
Formed strategic collaborations with dermatologists and researchers to ensure the community had access to high-level, reliable medical insights.
Omnichannel
Milestones
- The launch of the official organization website.
- Two successful "Walk for Darier's" fundraising events.
- A Rare Disease Day milestone that lit up the Willis Tower in honor of the community.
