In this episode we join Bradley Martin, VP of Growth Marketing at Feathr—a digital marketing platform—to talk about the larger nonprofit landscape and how to respond to the changes taking place. Bradley shares his expertise on leveraging digital marketing strategies to accelerate fundraising efforts.

We cover shifting donor demographics, how nonprofits can effectively use retargeting to re-engage website visitors and convert them to donors, strategic approaches to digital advertising that maximize limited budgets, and the importance of data-driven decision making in nonprofit marketing. Bradley offers practical tips that fundraisers can implement immediately, regardless of their organization's size or technical resources.
