TRANSCRIPT
GETTING ONBOARD WITH HEART FOUNDATIONThe Heart Foundation is an international ‘Not for Profit’ organisation with Australian headquarters in Melbourne. They save lives and improve health through funding world-class cardiovascular research, guidelines for health professionals, informing the public and assisting people with cardiovascular disease. They depend heavily on donations, which as a charity had been steadily declining.
The Challenge“Every hour of every day a woman loses her life to heart disease”
Every June, the Heart Foundation runs their Go Red for Women Campaign to raise awareness and funds for women’s heart health. The campaign revolved around an event on June 11 where supporters were able to get involved by making a donation or hosting an event at their workplace or home on the day.
While the campaign had been running globally for over 8 years, it had experienced a progressive decline in participation and donations recently, calling for a review of strategy.
In early 2015, the Foundation approached Digital Logic with a view to revitalising the campaign and driving innovation within the charity. As existing users of the Salesforce Marketing Cloud platform (then ExactTarget), they were familiar with its features but had only been undertaking basic batch and blast email campaigns across their multiple fundraising communications.
Besides the need to increase conversions and drive fundraising for this campaign, they also needed a vehicle to steadily educate their audience about hosting a Go Red for Women event, and provide them with the necessary support to run it successfully.

Bryn Kelly, National Campaign Manager
The GoalThe Heart Foundation had four distinct goals for this campaign:
ą Create a dynamic customer experience across multiple media
ą Educate the fundraiser on the process for hosting an event and provide them with the necessary support
ą Allow fundraisers to spread awareness of the event with their friends and family through social sharing and maximise community involvement.
ą Drive overall donations for the Go Red for Women campaign.
The ResultsThe campaign yielded an extremely high success rate across all elements from engagement to conversion. The post-event survey indicated that fundraisers felt the campaign gave them the right mix of education and support leading up to their hosted event.
Specifically, the campaign generated the following results:
ą 37% higher conversion than previous year
ą 49% increase in pledged donations over previous year
ą Most successful “Go Red for Women” campaign on record
As a result of the success of this campaign, Heart Foundation has confirmed the continuation of Go Red for Women for a further 3 years.
