The animation gave viewers a visual introduction to the Amundsen Sea research. The YouTube viewing record provides evidence of attention to the film, without measuring changes in climate knowledge.
A research article is read in full by a small number of people, most of them already in your field. We turn it into a short film a non-specialist follows, then put it in front of an audience at the scale your field and funders notice.
Across Meta and YouTube the campaign created 70,919 impressions with a measured LinkedIn footprint of 137 impressions. Facebook 94.75% · Instagram 3.39% · Threads 1.86%
Meta served as the top-of-funnel awareness engine. Google/YouTube played a narrower role moving a smaller audience toward engagement. Framed as complementary channels, the mix is strategically coherent.
