Compassion International recently gave me several marketing/graphic design assignments. My favorite has been creating a Facebook campaign for them.
Using mostly images from the super talented Keely Scott, here’s what we came up with.
There are a lot of rules governing cover images used on corporate/celebrity Facebook pages: No URLs or promotions, for instance. But none of these rules (yet) exist for cover images when used on personal profiles. So you’re free to promote Compassion International (and its URL) all you want.
We’re the first child sponsorship organization to make use of Facebook like this. Help us make this campaign a success by pinning the image above and adding one of these covers to your own Facebook personal profile.
Thanks!
- go to Compassion’s Facebook Page
- go to their pictures
- choose the image you want to use as your cover
- right click (on a PC) or control click (on a Mac)
- choose “save image as”
- then go to your Facebook profile
- upload the new cover image

THANKS
Shaun Groves says:
Awesome! Thanks, Karen.
Melissa says:
great job!
Shaun Groves says:
Thank you, Melissa.
Yvonne says:
Thank you for sharing these! Already changed my cover photo, shared them with friends, and re-pinned on Pinterest. Can’t wait to see more kids find sponsors because of your work on this project!
Dara says:
I love these! But, what about sponsors who have MORE than one child? Could we say something like “one child at a time” or “children around the world?”
Alex Green says:
I was about to ask the same, not wanting to blow our own trumpet, but we currently sponsor two, could there be a “changing the WORLD for TWO children”? Or does that foster too much ‘competition’ or other negative stuff??
Alex Green says:
Shaun, you seem like a nice guy, nice enough to reply to these three people asking the question about “more than one child”. Maybe you missed the question? What do you think???
Michelle ~ Blogging from the Boonies says:
I was thinking the same thing. I love these, I really do and have seem quite a few people change covers today to these.
“One child at a time” is a great alternative. Maybe I’ll try making one that says “Twelve and counting!” lol
(Today on my blog, I share a guest post from a man who sponsors 49! I thought that was just amazing!)
I think that these covers will really help spread awareness! Who knows how those little seed we plant may grow! Thanks for working on this project. You’ve inspired me to work on my non-existant design skills and maybe come up with something that shows our daughters and our 12 children around the world!
Christine says:
I’m probably one of the last to switch to timeline. I have no desire to but I will just to be able to use/promote these!
MainlineMom aka Sarah says:
Done. Love them.
Shaun Groves says:
Thanks, Sarah!
NancyTyler says:
I was admiring your work when you switched your cover photos over yesterday.
Compassion does a FANTASTIC job of promoting and marketing and they’re pretty smart about the creative people they hire to help them do that. 😉
Nice work, o creative one!
Shaun Groves says:
Thanks, Nancy. That means a lot from you.
Jessica @ Muthering Heights says:
Snagged one…simply precious! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Shaun Groves says:
Thanks, Jessica. Sure wish I could make it to Allume this year. On the road, unfortunately. Lots of people there, including you, I wish I could hang with again this Fall. Next year I hope.
Carisa says:
Aww man, you’re not coming???? Just won’t be the same. Boo.

D’oh! You’ll be missed. Kyle was wanting to meet you…

LOVE them. Grabbing one right now and sharing with everyone. I know I’ve said it before, but you do a great job designing. 🙂
rjb says:
Wow! Can’t wait to find one from Guatemala to represent our little one 🙂
Kim says:
Loved them- change my cover. So excited for your trip to Peru hope you visit the centers where my girls are PE150 and PE204 so you can give them big hugs for me and they can show you their letters, photos and stickers!!!
Timothy Haines says:
This is a really neat idea. I love the concept – it’s such a “simple” but powerful way of creating an instant ripple of social media engagement. Great designs!
