In a world where digital marketing is competitive and saturates online platforms, it can be difficult to make your charity’s marketing campaigns stand out. Yet a fundraising marketing agency can help your charity raise the funds it needs to make a difference.
It’s important to know what area of digital marketing you want to focus on and that depends largely on where your audience is the most and what budget is available. For those wanting to advance in digital marketing but with extremely low budgets, take a look at whether you could take advantage of Google’s Ad Grants. $10,000 is granted to each qualified not-for-profit you can upskill internal employees to take advantage or use an agency to manage your PPC ads and grow from there.
For others, the age old question of whether to run campaigns in-house with the right tech or use partners to facilitate these initiatives comes up. Both have pros and cons so it comes down to your own business requirements on what is going to complement your business best going forward.

The highest bidder is awarded that slot, and in an instant users will watch that ad. Think of the adverts you might watch on YouTube or between shows on Netflix. RTB advertising allows you to highlight your charity in real-time.
