Case Study | Pancreatic Cancer UK

The Challenge

Communications at short notice

Pancreatic Cancer UK was notified that a documentary would be airing about pancreatic cancer. As activities were planned on other marketing channels, the charity needed a solution to let supporters know about the documentary without disrupting other comms.

Marketing via text message was trialled to notify supporters of the documentary and share information.

The Solution

Sharing information via text message

An hour before the documentary aired, Pancreatic Cancer UK sent a text message to supporters to notify them of the documentary and encourage them to tune in.

As the documentary neared its conclusion, a second message was sent to supporters to share some key information about pancreatic cancer and ask for donations via text message.
