Elevating Impact: Nonprofit Advertising Transformation

Discover the transformative journey of an NGO that teamed up with Colibri Digital Marketing to amplify its mission through the power of nonprofit advertising through Google Ad Grants. This case study highlights the strategic approach to enhancing digital visibility and impact for a noble cause.

 

Opportunity

The NGO had access to Google Ad Grants but was not fully utilizing this resource, only spending about $200 of the available $10,000 per month. The challenge was to enhance their digital strategy to maximize the grant’s potential, increasing their message’s reach and impact.

 

Why Colibri Digital Marketing?

Colibri Digital Marketing was chosen for its mission-driven approach and deep understanding of nonprofit advertising and marketing needs. We recognized the organization’s potential and, through strategic digital marketing, brought its mission to a broader audience.

 

Objective 

Our objective was to optimize the NGO’s use of Google Ad Grants, aiming to fully utilize the $10,000 monthly grant to boost web traffic, raise awareness, and enhance engagement with their cause.

 

How Colibri Responded

We delved into a strategic overhaul of their digital marketing approach. We ensured the NGO’s message reached the relevant audience by refining ad copy, selecting optimal keywords, and adjusting campaign settings. Our focus on tracking meaningful conversions was crucial in aligning the campaign with the NGO’s mission and objectives.

We also identified the opportunity to update their website, as its UX was not fully optimized. We conducted a complete website strategy and redesign, resulting in a fully SEO-optimized website that maintained the NGO’s essence and core values while highlighting its impact on the communities it supports.

Client

An NGO based in California, dedicated to creating significant change through education, health, and economic development in East Africa, sought to extend its reach and influence. Despite its critical work in empowering communities and driving sustainable growth, the organization needed a more robust digital presence to share its successes and attract broader support. Their initiatives, ranging from improving educational infrastructure to advancing health programs and economic empowerment, had substantial local impact but needed more global digital recognition to obtain funding to scale their impact.
