Rotary is one of the world’s largest and most successful humanitarian organisations, with 1.2 million members across 200+ countries. However, the Leamington Spa branch lacked visibility in the local community, making it difficult to attract new members and volunteers. Their existing digital presence was limited to a static page on the national Rotary website, restricting their ability to showcase events, raise awareness, and drive participation.
Insight
The key challenge was to elevate their work and create a structured marketing approach that would:
- Attract and retain members to support long-term growth.
- Increase volunteer participation in charity events.
- Improve donor engagement by demonstrating how funds are used at local, national, and global levels.
Strategy
Our approach was built around a multi-channel strategy that incorporated:
- Digital transformation – Creating a standalone website beyond the national platform to showcase Rotary’s work.
- Audience and donor analysis – Identifying the right targeting parameters for social media and paid campaigns to recruit new members and volunteers.
- Content strategy and brand storytelling – Showcasing real-world impact through social media content, infographics, and video.
- Email marketing and donor engagement – Developing structured campaigns to engage members, encourage referrals, and drive event attendance.
- Paid social and digital advertising – Geo-targeting potential members and volunteers through social media ads and event promotions.
