Data Planner• Whitewater • Charities (RSPCA, RNLI)

2010-08 - 2011-06

​

A specialist marketing agency focusing solely on the charity market. I was hired to build a data planning offering from the ground up.

I was directly responsible for providing data planning, insights and strategy for all clients. Standardising and automating reporting and results reviews as much as practicable, every report was a “little work of art”.

Worked on a model to predict legacy giving for a major client

Mapped out a lifetime value journey and an in-depth review of cold channel acquisition payback. “Do the extremely high acquisition costs ever deliver a positive ROI”. For some clients the answer was NO, which was a tough conversation.
