Testimonial
Jules Thorne
Programme Manager at Comic Relief
Fonix’s platform continues to demonstrate its ability to handle mass volumes of donations and generate ground-breaking fundraising to support our cause to help vulnerable people in the UK and around the world.
The Challenge
What was our job?
The aim of the campaign was to drive mobile donations. Sport Relief 2020 needed a solution that was able to process all of its hundreds of thousands of mobile donations with the flexibility to build and integrate with existing Sport Relief solutions. Fonix’s close working relationship with the charity, combined with their experience in the charity sector and across broadcast campaigns, clearly made Fonix the provider of choice.

The Solution
Finding the best way
The campaign, promoted across TV, radio, print and online channels as well as at flagship events across the country, came to a head with a celeb-filled night of TV on 13th March.
The campaign allowed people to donate to the appeal by sending a text message to a short, five-digit code. The platform allowed consumers to donate either £5, £10, £20 or £30 amounts via mobile payment, as well as giving the option to add Gift Aid at no extra cost to donors.
Capitalising on Fonix’s mobile marketing and data analytics, Sport Relief sent Gift Aid reminder messages to all those who had not provided Gift Aid declarations to drive further revenue generation and boost the campaign results.
