Success Stories

There have been many successful projects completed with the Marketing for Change Programme

Since June 2008, the marketing for change programme has gone from strength to strength and has been a fantastic boost to many charities marketing efforts.
Some examples of the fantastic work carried out by volunteers in the programme include:

• A children’s charity working with street children and those living in slums in India were in need of marketing volunteer in two areas. Firstly they needed help in developing their brand and secondly with a direct marketing campaign. Both projects with the charity were a huge success and according to the marketing/fundraising director “all three projects will help in making a difference to the lives of the Street Children of Kolkata that’s how important this program is.”
• A child sponsorship charity used the programme to find somebody to support them with their strategic marketing and communications plan and also to assist them in creating a user-friendly website. There was such a great response to the roles that they decided instead to create a marketing and communication committee with many marketing volunteers in charge of various specific projects. The Marketing for Change programme allowed this charity to become much more professional in terms of their marketing and communications activities.
• A development organisation in Dublin were in need of somebody to guide them in designing and setting up their new website. Having such a small budget in trying to complete this task the help from the Marketing for Change programme was invaluable to them and they had an active web presence much sooner than would have been possible without the efforts of the volunteer.
