Description

A practical, three-hour masterclass that walks you through building an appeal from a blank page to a finished campaign, drawing on the principles and best practice we have learned from years of building appeals that perform. 

We'll go through the full journey:

  • Strategy and planning, so the appeal is set up to succeed
  • Audience and data insights to drive your decisions
  • A simple, donor-centric proposition grounded in solid fundraising principles
  • Storytelling and narrative that creates real emotional connection
  • Creative and execution that brings the campaign to life
  • Launch and integration across channels, with the follow-ups that lift response
  • Performance, testing and optimisation, so every appeal makes the next one stronger

You'll leave with a repeatable framework, and a clear sense of exactly what to do, to take into your very next appeal, whatever the size of your team or budget.
