Strategy

Based on the findings of our data analytics and discovery process — combined with the vast knowledge we’ve gained from working with more than 300 non-profit organizations — we develop a customized strategy to help you achieve your goals. It’s the foundation on which we build your direct mail appeal, digital-specific fundraising initiative and/or integrated campaign.

In fundraising, nothing exists in isolation. Donors who respond to your direct mail appeals are also exposed to your brand in other channels. The look and messaging need to be consistent. We also know that a donor’s channel of engagement and channel of transaction may be two different things.

That’s why an integrated strategy is so important and why we bring together fundraising, brand, data and digital strategists to ensure that our strategy elevates your brand, connects with your donors and drives revenue. Our team also continually looks for ways to enhance your appeals and programs to help further your mission.

Digital Acceleration & Technology Architecture

Direct response fundraising has been revolutionized by new systems and platforms. We help fundraising and marketing teams drive these new systems, rather than letting these new systems drive the teams!

Some of the questions we help our clients answer include: How can I accelerate my digital revenues? Where should we automate our fundraising experience? How can we develop more automated 1:1 relationships?

ST’s digital experts are some of the best in the world. Whether you need help architecting a new martech stack to support your mass fundraising, or brainstorming new ways to leverage your new customer data platform, we’re here to help! We combine the best of both worlds: technology and IT data architecture with contemporary fundraising strategy designed to leverage these new platforms.
