 15th September 2026 Celebrating 3 years working with St Vincent's De Paul Society Digital Marketing with Dean is celebrating three years of working with the St Vincent de Paul Society to raise awareness of St Vincent’s Centre, Ely Bridge, and the support it provides to vulnerable people across Cardiff.  This partnership has focused on raising awareness of the centre’s activities, helping people discover opportunities for friendship, practical support and community connection. For someone experiencing loneliness, hardship or isolation, a welcoming social media post can be an important first step towards seeking support.  The latest social media statistics demonstrate the scale of that visibility. Between 1st January 2025 and 5th October 2026, content generated 1,411,831 views, entirely through organic activity, with no views attributed to paid advertising. The figures also show 14,400 three-second video views, an increase of 100%, alongside 13,900 content interactions, up 339.1% against the platform’s comparison period. Total video watch time reached three days and 20 hours, also increasing by 100%. Here are examples of posted content.  Creating engaging content has produced positive results reaching thousands of people encouraging more engagement. Each post creates another opportunity for someone to learn about a welcoming space, discover an activity or share information with a person who needs support. By promoting opportunities such as the Connect Café, creative activities, music workshops and support groups, Digital Marketing with Dean has helped make the centre easier to discover. This visibility supports the centre’s work to welcome vulnerable people, build confidence, reduce isolation and help change lives. While online statistics cannot tell us how many people subsequently attended, they demonstrate a platform for connecting the community with support. After three years, this partnership is something to celebrate: consistent marketing supporting compassionate work, giving the centre a stronger voice and helping more people see that friendship, encouragement and a place to belong are available within their local community. Here is a testimonial given to us from one of St Vincent de Paul Society Wales based centre managers.
