A prominent Washington, DC-based think tank had the member energy, the grassroots momentum, and the political window. They harnessed that into a policy paper that didn’t have a framework to protect it. Within a month of publishing their policy report, a government institution implemented their recommendation. Within four years, a new administration reversed everything by executive order, using the think tank’s own words as justification. We saw it coming. Here’s what we built from it.
A faith-based nonprofit had the polling data about contraception from Kenya, Colombia, United States, Ireland, and the Philippines. What they didn’t have was a strategy to make that research matter. We reached 23,185 targeted advocates in one month, and mobilized SIECUS, Ipas, AWID, and others to carry the message forward.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative newsroom had the reporting. They didn’t have the digital infrastructure to fund it. We built their retargeting system from scratch, introduced their work to 114,560 new potential supporters (a 51% increase year over year) and delivered a 4X return on their first digital ad investment. Donor numbers grew by more than 20%.
Girls’ and women’s economic power is a global one. A women’s leadership organization was helping professionals of color break systemic barriers to income and advancement. Their digital presence wasn’t telling that story. We rebuilt their messaging from service descriptions to impact narrative, and built a newsletter strategy now achieving 60–77% open rates, two to four times the international industry standard.
In the Global North, democratic norms are backsliding. When it comes to civic engagement, a foundation wanted to know which grantees were winning and why. We worked with nearly two dozen grantee-partners on data infrastructure, training, and impact documentation, with 350,000+ voters engaged, nearly 30,000 reproductive justice advocates mobilized, and 25,000+ census pledges secured.
Starting from 755 monthly Twitter impressions, we grew an organization led by formerly incarcerated people’s reach to 87,600+ people across platforms in two months. We then launched a mental health campaign that reached 108,794 individuals and connected 1,713 people directly to counseling resources.
A climate organization with a harmful legacy of population control wanted to shift to reproductive justice. Via co-created messaging centering bodily autonomy, we helped them reached more than 900,000 people, pulling engagement from Ipas, the Poor People’s Campaign, NPR, and reproductive health advocates across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Fundraising challenges? Comedians to the rescue. 🤡 Laughter is a universal language. Using pop culture strategies, we cut a reproductive justice organization’s cost per donation to 60% below sector average, brought in new major donors, and generated $2.40 for every dollar invested. Our data analysis also revealed that men accounted for nearly a third of donors. It was a demographic they’d never thought to pursue.
