The Challenge
Alicia Kozak, an internationally recognized motivational speaker, internet safety expert, and founder of The Alicia Project, has inspired millions through her advocacy and personal story . Despite her impactful work and media presence, her digital platforms did not fully convey the breadth of her mission or facilitate optimal engagement with her audience. Key challenges included: Fragmented Brand Identity: Alicia’s multifaceted roles—as a speaker, advocate, and educator—were not cohesively represented across her digital channels, leading to potential confusion among new visitors. Underutilized Social Media: While Alicia maintained profiles on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, there was an opportunity to enhance content strategy to better engage her audience and amplify her message. Limited Reach Through Paid Channels: Alicia had not fully leveraged paid advertising to expand her reach, particularly to audiences unfamiliar with her work but interested in internet safety and advocacy. Website User Experience: Her website lacked certain user experience optimizations that could facilitate easier navigation, clearer calls-to-action, and better accessibility to her resources and booking information.

Enhanced Social Media Strategy: Developed a content calendar featuring educational posts, personal stories, and interactive content to foster community engagement and highlight her advocacy work. Targeted Paid Advertising: Launched paid ad campaigns focusing on key demographics interested in internet safety, education, and advocacy, thereby increasing awareness and driving traffic to her website and events. Website Redesign: Revamped her website to improve navigation, incorporate clear calls-to-action, and ensure mobile responsiveness, making it easier for users to access information, book speaking engagements, and learn about The Alicia Project.
