Challenge

In its mission to deliver emergency aid and essential healthcare to those in need, Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) is a key player on the frontlines of global humanitarian crises. For their 2021 Holiday campaign, the organization aimed to raise awareness of the ongoing crisis in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of international aid.

Solution

Building on a successful long-term partnership, GrowthAds and Crafted enhanced their strategy with an integrated omnichannel approach that combined brand awareness and performance. Leveraging GrowthAds’ real-time data and seamless multi-channel activation, they introduced connected TV (CTV) to reach a younger, untapped audience that no longer engages with traditional TV. This approach effectively connected with the next generation of donors.

Results

The Holiday 2021 campaign set a new fundraising record for Doctors Without Borders, becoming their most successful effort to date. The campaign surpassed its original fundraising goal within just two weeks, ultimately exceeding the target by more than three times.

As their vital work continues, so does the need to reach new audiences for support. With GrowthAds, Doctors Without Borders is able to maximize its marketing budget, unlocking more donations to fund its global initiatives.
