With so many charities reaching new audiences, and boosting awareness and fundraising levels via digital and wireless media, the quest for greater effectiveness in this medium across the sector is taking centre stage.

This half-day event will address the interactive aspects of awareness-building and fundraising projects. Focusing on best practice examples of campaigns produced for digital platforms, as well as tackling broader issues, attendance for charity and non-profit delegates is offered at a discounted rate.

Interactive leaps forward?

Given the unique strengths pertaining to the digital medium � cost-effectiveness (especially for smaller charities), the immediacy and simplicity of reverse SMS billing, the ability to measure campaigns, and the levels of involvement achievable through interactive and rich media campaigns � how have successful campaigns fashioned their strategies?

And how have charities and agencies innovated to manage digital relationships in terms of data management, targeting content and calls to action, personalisation, and retaining donors and volunteers?

This event is geared to the charity and social enterprise sector, as well as agency side parties interested in or already involved with the third sector.
