Marketing & Research

You are in the most competitive market. There are more than 600,000 not for profits vying for attention, seeking funds and offering services. Standing out from the crowd demands effective marketing. Clarity about what you stand for and what makes you different. What makes you the better choice.

Integration between your fundraising, communications, social media messages and services marketing will ensure people have a consistent picture of who you are.

Understanding who your audiences are, what they are looking for and why they should choose you is vital if you are going to talk to them in a way that resonates.

    Market Research

    To influence behaviour we must understand why people do what they do. We formed more to help Not for Profits better understand their audience motivations whether they are donors, supporters or beneficiaries. We have conducted more than 100 research projects and listened to the views of more than 40,000 donors to help you attract, keep and extend your networks.

    “More Strategic are thought leaders for the fundraising sector so when we needed research on public attitudes to fundraising they were our first call. They have a good  understanding of donor motivations and expectations as well as excellent research methodology. By bringing in a panel of known donors, linking responses to transactional data and delivering a highly tailored online survey they delivered powerful insights. The findings and recommendation will help shape how we act to make sure fundraising is sustainable for years to come. They are smart, engaging and really know their stuff”.

    Brand and Proposition Development

    In a cluttered and competitive market it is essential to tell your story in a way that makes it clear why you are different and exceptional. Your brand is no longer what you say and do but what people say  and hear about you. We have helped not for profits express what they stand for and created compelling, irresistible “reasons to give”

    “We had the challenge of defining a cash proposition that would work for acquisition on street – something Amnesty in Australia hadn’t done for years. Gavin facilitated a process that helped the team work logically through the challenge. Using consumer insights at the core, it got us to a clear and unique concept that was a powerful expression of our work and proved a success when we trialled it. All in all; a successful outcome from an enjoyable and engaging process”
