Overview

A neighbourhood swim club with no media budget and every reason to be invisible online. The project: grow Little Fish Swim Club's presence organically — Instagram and TikTok, zero paid spend, nothing but story.

The Brief

Build a digital presence that fills lanes, not just feeds. The audience was parents deciding where their kids learn to swim — a high-trust decision that generic sports content does not move.

Approach

Platform-native, not cross-posted. TikTok got the splash — first-length swims, poolside personality, the sound-on moments. Instagram got the trust — progress stories, coach features, parent-facing proof.

Community as content. The swimmers and their milestones were the editorial calendar. Every post answered a parent's real question: is my child safe, seen, and improving here? Animated graphics carried milestone moments — first length, first dive — that raw poolside footage alone couldn't sell.

A seasonal content layer. Alongside the swim milestones, a recurring series of designed social artwork — Mother's Day, Father's Day, Labor Day, Eid — kept the account present in the family's calendar year-round, not just on training days.

The Work

A repeatable content system: filming patterns for poolside video, story formats for progress milestones, and a cadence the club could sustain after handover.
