Recently deleted from this draft:

Fronted Emslie, their Wake Up To Homelessness campaign exceeded a Twitter reach of 3.5 million, over 30,000 Instagram interactions and 1,300 new website users in under a month

That came with a reference to this page, which says:

Fronted by celebrity ambassador Victoria Emslie, the Wake Up To Homelessness campaign has exceeded a Twitter reach of 3.5 million, over 30,000 Instagram interactions and 1,300 new website users in under a month.

So what was in the draft was a garbled version of what was in the source.

Specification of a source does not permit quoting verbatim from that source. If you're going to quote verbatim, you need quotation marks. Usually it's better to summarize in your own words. It's never OK to fiddle a little with the text and claim the result is not verbatim and therefore doesn't need quotation marks.
